Some event parameters need research

The EVNT format is a companion to ANIM resources. Animators are able to synchronize functional events to rigged animations for things like sound effects, visual effects, character messages, and playback control.

Data Type Element Count Identifier Notes
long 1 version 0x1 or 0x2
long 1 loop_event_count
Loop Event loop_event_count loop_events
long 1 uevt_event_count Version 0x2 only
UEVT Event uevt_event_count uevt_events Version 0x2 only
long 1 effect_event_count
Effect Event effect_event_count effect_events
long 1 sound_event_count
Sound Event sound_event_count sound_events

Event Base

Offset Length Data Type Identifier Notes
<start> 2 short unknown0
<start> + 0x2 <null-term> string event_name
0x0 2 short event_type Enumerated event type (unknown values)
0x2 4 float event_timestamp Time (in seconds) from start of ANIM to trigger event
