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)

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

Angle Short Raw hex
0x0000 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)

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°, 0°, 180°)), you get "normal" legs. Arms are a bit more complicated.

More, later...
