Divided File Format

cmcla, cmtpa, cmtsa

The CMATA file stores a collection of three types of animations. The divided file format stores the types separately as color animation (a CMCLA file), texture SRT animation (a CMTSA file) and texture pattern animation (a CMTPA file).

The divided file format has these features:

• By dividing up the information into separate files, data management becomes more flexible.
• Finer control is possible in the program when the data are treated as separate animations.
• By dividing up the information this way the total number of animations increases, so there is a slightly heavier processing load at playback time.
