OBD:TRAM/raw0x34
Here's the minimal structure of the body animation tracks for a TRAM file
(The example below is for SHINZOMidle1)
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 (0x16A in the dat)
- "compression size" (0x160 in the dat)
- frame count (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 the bone 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° | 0x0 | 0x0000 |
| 45° | 0x2000 | 0x0020 |
| 90° | 0x4000 | 0x0040 |
| 180° | 0x8000 | 0x0080 |
| 270° | 0xC000 | 0x00C0 |
An orientation consists of three angles, each of them a 2-byte integer (short).
The example here is the SHINZOMidle1 animation (10 frames long)

There are only two keyframes for every bone, and the orientation is identical for both keyframes.
In fact, Shinatama remains 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 left to right) and face upwards
Viewed from above, you get something like this (yeah, the shoulders are attached to the neck)
