Talk:BRASD (File Format)
Purpose
One thing I cannot verify is what these files are for. One editor I've viewed the files in claim that they are animation files, but I fail to see how this was concluded.
- They appear to correspond with the names of animations in model files
- They do not reference any data within the model itself
I've only been able to locate these files in relation to Goomba and Piranha Plant objects:
- Goombas have "Walk Left" & "Walk Right" files.
- Piranha Plants have "idle" and "attack" files.
If I may make a prediction: These files produce sounds. Here's why I believe so:
- 1. When Goombas walk, they produce a little "ploop" sound every time their foot touches the ground as they walk. This occur periodically.
- 2. Piranha Plants periodically produce a "chomp" sound when idle. When they attack, they produce a louder "chomp" sound.
- 3. The "ASD" IN "BRASD" could mean "Animation-Sound Data".
- 4. These files contain the following strings: Idle Piranha Plant - SE_CC_PAKKUN_MOUTH | Attacking Piranha Plant - SE_CC_PAKKUN_ATTACK | Walking Goomba - SE_CC_KURIBO_FN. Though I haven't looked in the BRASR file in a while, as I recall these sound like data entries in it's soundbank. I do not have a clean BRASR file so I cannot verify this.
- 5. The number of ASCII strings in each file corresponds with the number of sounds the object makes each animation loop.
I suspect that this functionality is tied to keyframes in the corresponding animation, and be why editing models with Animation-Sound Data causes the game to crash (This post has been removed - It detailed how the game crashed when replacing pakkun_f animations)
I do credit "SM64DS" for doing some sleuthing. He brought this to my attention and I think this may be the solution.
