Recently uncovered the location of the BCWAV's offsets and sizes within the archive. This is more information that would be useful for later on. The huge missing link is the ability to link the actual names to the data (which is the main issue everyone is facing). But, uncovering this info cancels out one possible place for this information to be hiding. The CWAR holds all the data relative to the Main File Partition (Kind of like it's dictionary). Here's it's structure:
The way to find the actual offsets of the BCWAV's is easy. All of the relative offsets given are padded by a certain number (we'll call it x).
We first need to jump to the main file partition location, read the h8 bytes. After that, theres a DString of h18 following that which leads us to the first bcwav. We can save that position and then subtract that from the given offset to find the relative difference. So:
1. Find relative difference:
First actual offset - (given offset + Actual Offset of the beginning of the CWAR) = x!
2. Calculate the actual file offsets:
add the relative offset (given in the table ) + x = y
Seek from the beginning of the CWAR y Bytes. To get to the new position.
I'm uncertain if the structure of the CWAR is old news or not, but if it isn't, tahdah! Now that the analysis of that is done, I plan on looking into the "CWSD" portion of the archive, in order to clarify that the linkage isn't hidden in there. Until then!

Code:
CSAR "CWAR" Archive
offset length info
0x0 0x4 "CWAR" MWORD
0x4 0x2 Endianess Identifier (0xFFFE = Little, 0xFEFF = Big)
0x6 0x4 Header Size
0xA 0x2 Version ID
0xC 0x4 Archive Size
0x10 0x4 Partition Count (INFO + FILE)
0x14 0x4 Weird Constant
0x18 0x4 Info Partition Pointer**
0x1C 0x4 Info Partition Size
0x24 0x4 Main File Partition Pointer**
0x28 0x4 Main File Partition Size
0x2C 0xC Reserved space for other partitions(?)
** These values pertain to the CWAR when it's separate outside of the main CSAR archive, to get these real values, add the current value to the CWAR's actual offset
in the CSAR archive!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Info Paritition:
**Offsets pertain to that of the partition
offset length info
0x0 0x4 "INFO" MWORD
0x4 0x4 INFO Partition Size
0x8 0xC File Count (of CWAR)
Splits off into a table, per each entry:
long - entry start
long - relative offset of the file in the CWAR
long - size of the file in the CWAR
--end table
