.BCP File Extension

A BCP file may also be a business card design created by Business Card Designer Plus, a program for designing and printing professional business cards. It stores all the information for a card, including the layout, text, images, and design elements in a proprietary format. Users can create cards from pre-made templates or design them entirely from scratch, and the BCP file preserves all the settings and content for later editing or printing.

Business Card Designer Plus is used primarily by small business owners, professionals, and designers who need to create custom business cards. The program allows users to combine text, logos, and graphics into a single card design, and the BCP format ensures that the design can be saved and modified at any time.

You can open BCP files using CAM Development Business Card Designer Plus. To open a BCP file, select File → Open.

A BCP file may also be a makefile used by discontinued Borland C++ tools to build C and C++ applications. It is a plain text file that guides the build process, describing how a program should be compiled into an executable program by listing source files, dependencies, compiler options, and build rules. The BCP format supports both 16-bit and later 32-bit development workflows.

While BCP files are now obscure, software developers used these files to manage projects in earlier Borland development environments, especially before the introduction of more modern IDEs, like C++ Builder. Developers working with legacy Borland tools or maintaining older codebases are now the most likely users to encounter BCP files.

You can open BCP files with any text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad or Apple TextEdit. To use the file for building a project, open it within a compatible Borland C++ development environment or run it through the appropriate build tools included with the software.

A BCP file may also be a preset created by Nem's Tools Batch Compiler, a utility used to compile custom maps for games, such as Half-Life and Quake. It stores a set of user-defined compilation settings that control how a map is processed and built, including options for lighting, visibility calculations, and other parameters required to generate a playable game map.

Instead of manually entering the same settings each time, level designers and modders using Nem's Tools Batch Compiler can save their preferred configuration as a BCP preset and reuse it across multiple projects. This helps ensure consistent results and reduces setup time when compiling maps.

You can open BCP files with Nem's Tools Batch Compiler. Once loaded, the software applies the preset to the current compilation process.

A BCP file may also be a game data file used by Mario Kart Wii, a racing game for the Nintendo Wii. It controls how Mario Kart Wii's camera rotates around a character before a race or battle begins. Mario Kart Wii contains four BCP files, named battle_camera.bcp, mission_camera.bcp, race_camera.bcp, and start_camera.bcp.

Before a Mario Kart Wii race or battle begins, the game's camera rotates around and shows the player and their kart. BCP files are binary files that control these camera rotations. The files are stored in Mario Kart Wii's common.szs file.

Race_camera.bcp controls how the pre-race camera rotates for Grand Prix, VS Race, Time Trial, and most other races. Mission_camera.bcp controls how the camera rotates in widescreen Competitions. Battle_camera.bcp controls how the camera rotates in Battles. It is unknown what start_camera.bcp controls.

Players who want to edit the hex values a BCP (Mario Kart Wii Binary Camera Parameter) file contains can do so using BCP Table (Windows), a player-created BCP file editor.
