DOA3 Modding: Understanding the BIN Files

Each character has a BIN file. In this file is where the frame data, move properties, and the animations for moves/throws are made. For throw and hold animations both the opponent being thrown and the player throwing have the animation in the character's BIN file. In other words, when Jann Lee is hit by Bass' Super Freak throw, Bass' animation and Jann Lee's animation are both located in Bass' BIN file instead of Jann Lee's animation being located in Jann Lee's BIN file.

We are still attempting to figure out the entirety of the bin file.

On a side note, the move list notation and names are in a different file. It's just the displayed notation, not changing the notation of the attack. I believe those are in the default.xex (the prime executable).

For optimal reading of the BIN files, I would recommend viewing the HEX code in DEC (decimal) format at 8 bytes per row. Why 8 bytes? Well, because all the move calls appear to be that long and it formats it nicely.

Below is the description for each BIN file:
  • anime_cm: The system information. It's presumed the Freestep sidestepping variable is located in here
  • ayane: Ayane
  • bass: Bass
  • bayman: Bayman
  • bosnin: Genra/OMEGA
  • chin: Brad Wong's master
  • genfu: Gen Fu
  • gokei: Christie
  • hika: Helena
  • janlee: Jann Lee
  • karate: Ein
  • kasumi: Kasumi
  • koryu: Hitomi
  • leifang: Lei Fang
  • ninja: Hayate
  • ryu: Ryu Hayabusa
  • sambo: Leon
  • suiken: Brad Wong
  • tengu: Tengu
  • tina: Tina
  • zack: Zack

Animation calls. This is the animations that are played when the player performs a command.

2568 - :3::F+P: - DEC value 108
2576 - :426::F+P: - DEC value 003 - 16i Catch throw anim
2584 - :2_::6::4::F+P: - DEC value 109 - 6i throw anim

2672 - :2::F+P: - DEC value 001 - Pickup at feet
2680 - :F+P: - DEC value 002 - Air Throw
2688 - :6::6_::F+P: - DEC value 005

It should be noted that in the throws, that first DEC value for the throw anim determines which Throw animation to play. So we can't change the initial frames for a specific throw, but we can tell the game to play the 6 frame throw animation instead of the 5 frame throw animation as a work around to that limitation. So technically, I could make Bass' :4::F+P: a 6 frame throw punisher instead of the current 5 frame, or I can just tell it to play his DOA3 style back drop (granting him a free back-turned pickup).

DEC 2448+4 to DEC 2800+4 increments by 1. Seems to change stun property animation to match a different animation call.

I have no idea what I've done to this, thought there were no changes besides my cartwheel bin area. Apparently if I do :2::P+K: I get a cartwheel that has the camera zoom in on Hayate for a profile shot. Also :8::P::P: does :8::P: then :3::3::K::K::'s animation.

Hey @Mr. Wah @Rikuto , any chance we can give @dee4doa and @usagiZ access to this subforum? There's a lot of lot of data we posted they could potentially make use of. And, does anyone have our old DOA3/DOA4 move editors? I lost all my data to a hard drive failing. The text files I posted don't have the moves' locations, the app determined that, we were just identifying each string by input.

Yeah, can we make this topic public now? I could use a write up on how to read these damn bin files cause I do not get it if we're being honest.
