Format
The file starts with a list of all the bones in the skeleton. The first value is a 32-bit count, then the following structure loops.
| Offset | Type | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | u32 | 4 | Bone ID |
| 0x4 | u32 | 4 | Parent Bone ID |
| 0x8 | float[3] | 0xC | Position |
| 0x14 | u32 | 4 | Linked bone count (LC); includes parent + children |
| 0x18 | u32[] | 4 × LC | Linked bone ID array |
After this is an array listing every bone ID in the skeleton. The first bone is the root bone, then the rest are listed in reverse numerical order.
| Type | Count | Description |
|---|---|---|
| u32 | 1 | Bone ID count (BC) |
| u32 | BC | Bone ID array |
Finally, the end of the file sets bone names. After the traditional count value, this short structure loops:
| Type | Count | Description |
|---|---|---|
| string | 1 | Bone name |
| u32 | 1 | Bone ID |
