BRLAN files (Binary Revolution Layout AnimatioN) controls animation on the UI layout. Together with BRCTR (File Format) and BRLYT (File Format) it controls the layout.
File Format
Header
The file starts with a header that is 0x10 bytes long.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | String | File identifier. RLAN in ASCII |
| 0x04 | UInt16 | Byte order mark (BOM): FE FF for big endian and FF FE for little endian. |
| 0x06 | UInt16 | Version number of file format. |
| 0x08 | UInt32 | Length of the file in bytes. |
| 0x0C | UInt16 | Offset to root section relative to start (usually 0x0010). |
| 0x0E | UInt16 | Unknown (Always 00 02 in MKW?) |
| 0x10 | End of file header | |
pat1 Section
After the header comes the pat1 section.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | String | Section identifier. pat1 in ASCII |
| 0x04 | UInt32 | Size of this section = S |
| 0x08 | UInt16 | Unknown |
| 0x0A | UInt16 | Unknown |
| 0x0C | UInt32 | Unknown |
| 0x10 | UInt32 | Size of this section |
| 0x14 | UInt16 | Unknown |
| 0x16 | UInt16 | Unknown |
| 0x18 | Byte | isDescendingBind |
| 0x19 | Byte | Unknown |
| 0x1A | UInt16 | Unknown |
| 0x1C | String | Name. Length = N (not stored) |
| 0x1C + N | Byte[] | Padding |
| S | End of section | |
pai1 Section
After the pat1 section comes the pai1 section.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | String | Section identifier. pat1 in ASCII |
| 0x04 | UInt32 | Size of this section |
| 0x08 | UInt16 | Number of frames |
| 0x0A | Byte | Flags |
| 0x0B | Byte | Unknown |
| 0x0C | UInt32 | Number of entries = N |
| 0x10 | UInt16 | Offset to entries (relative to the start of this section) |
| 0x12 | End of this section | |
Entries
The offset in the previous section points to this. This is simple an array of UInt32s that links to the next structure.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | UInt32[N] | Offset to Data (relative to the start of this section) |
| 0x00 + 4 * N | End of this section | |
The data points to this structure.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | String | Name. Always 0x14, unused bytes are padding (0) |
| 0x14 | UInt32 | Unknown |
| 0x18 | UInt32 | Size of this structure |
| 0x1C | End of this structure | |
Animation Header
This is the header for the actual animation
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | String | Animation Type |
| 0x04 | Byte | Number of animations |
| 0x05 | Byte[3] | Padding? |
| 0x05 | Byte[3] | Padding? |
| 0x08 | UInt32 | Unknown |
| 0x0C | UInt32 | Unknown |
| 0x10 | End of animation header | |
Animation
Before each animation entry there is a section
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | Byte | Type 1 |
| 0x01 | Byte | Type 2 |
| 0x02 | UInt16 | Unknown |
| 0x04 | UInt16 | Number of animation entries |
| 0x06 | UInt16 | Unknown |
| 0x08 | UInt32 | Unknown |
| 0x0C | End of this structure | |
After this structure comes the animations.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | Float | Frame |
| 0x04 | Float | Value |
| 0x08 | Float | Blend |
| 0x0C | End of this structure | |
