Detailed Information

Here's the minimal structure of the body animation tracks for a TRAM file (address stored at 0x34 in the dat)

(The example below is for SHINZOMidle1 : those bone tracks are found at 0x480020 in the original level18_Final.raw)

The global stucture is 19 bone tracks, preceded by a list of their offsets (the "header").

Information required to read this part :

• number of body parts (at 0x16A in the dat, always 19 in Oni)
• "compression size" (at 0x160 in the dat, 6 for almost all anims, 16 for a few)
• frame count (at 0x16C in the dat)

The size of a bone track is not known in advance. See "General info" below.

Bone tracks

General info

An orientation track is a succession of keyframe fields (either 6 or 16 bytes depending on the "compression size") defining the orientation of a bone (with respect to its parent) at a key moment. Every pair of keyframes is separated by an interval field (one byte) defining the number of frames between the two key moments. Orientation is interpolated linearly between two keyframes over the interval between them. If the cumulated intervals reach the total frame count of the animation (minus 1) then the next keyframe is the final one.

Thus the length of the track is determined upon reading

Compression size 6

Angle	Short	Raw hex
0°	0x0000	0x0000
45°	0x2000	0x0020
90°	0x4000	0x0040
180°	0x8000	0x0080
270°	0xC000	0x00C0

An orientation consists of three angles, each of them stored in quantized form, as a 2-byte signed integer (short).

• Oni converts from the stored integer to an angle through multiplication by 360°/65535 = 0.0054932478828[...]
• Thus, when quantizing angles from a new animation, multiply the angles by 65535/360° = 182.0416667[...]
• A quantized angle of 65535 never occurs in Oni, so apparently they consistently used only 0 through 65534.

Note that these angles cannot be used directly for interpolation, they must first be converted to quaternions.

The example here is the SHINZOMidle1 animation (10 frames long)

In this example, there are only two keyframes for every bone, and the orientation is identical for both keyframes : in fact, Shinatama remains completely frozen during the whole anim.

Origin and direction of the angles

If the (0°, 0°, 0°) orientation is set for every bone, then all the bones point along the x axis of the character (from right to left) and face upwards

Viewed from above, you get something like this : "o" is a pivot (yeah, the shoulders are attached to the neck); ":)" is a smiley :)

15-o-14-o-13-o-12-o  4-o-3-o-2-o       ^ z
                  |            |       ^
           :)11-o-10-o-9-o-8-o-1  < < <^< < <
                  |            |   x   ^
19-o-18-o-17-o-16-o  7-o-6-o-5-o       ^

Every angle triplet defines the rotation of a bone with respect to its parent (the "parent" of the pelvis lies on its back with its head pointing left, as above...). The orientation of the parent defines an (x,y,z) axis set : assuming the parent is aligned as above, this is simply the normal coordinate system (x=left, y=up, z=front).

The first rotation is about the x axis, the second one is about the new y axis, and the last one is about the newest z axis. All rotations are in the normal trigonometric direction (clockwise if looking in the direction of the axis).

Effectively, the first angle is the "twist" of the bone with respect to its parent (because the direction of the parent is the "x axis", i.e. the axis of the first rotation).

A leg's orientation is quite intuitive : if you set everything to (0°, 0°, 0°) except the orientation of the thighs (both set to (0°, 180°, 0°) ), you get "normal" legs. Arms are a bit more complicated.

Compression size 16

In this case a quaternion (4 float values) is stored instead of 3 angles. It applies to the following original anims :

KONOKO/STRIKE KONOKO bullet_chest1 bullet_chest2 bullet_chest3 shot_small

KON/COM/NIN PIS/RIF holster

KONOKO/COMGUY/NINJA KONCOM/COMCOM/NINCOM draw_ pis/rif

KON/STR/NIN COM PIS recoil_ reload_ autopistol p_stream vandergraf autopis_o stream_o vdgf_o autopis_o

KON/STR/NIN COM RIF recoil_ reload_ phase_rif superball scram mercury screamer rifle_o super_o scram_o merc_o scream_o scream_o

KON/STR COM/NIN KON/STR NIN STR COM NIN KON/STR NIN STR NIN PIS/RIF RIF PIS stand crouch run prone crouch_r ss_lt ss_rt run_bk _fire_arc

KONOKO TANPIS KONCOM STRIKE REDCOM MURCOM crouch stand _fire_arc

Those animations exactly coincide with the set of overlay animations, i.e. animations that do not animate/move the character as a whole, and merely apply variations (typically to the upper body) on top of the main animation.
