The CINF format is for skeletons. Skeletons are associated with models and skins through ANCS files.

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
