The entry_types with the suffix Tree (as example MainTree) are special and doesnt uses attributes, MainTree is always located as the first entry, doesn't have a parent, and doesn't have any previous or next "sibling", the maximun number posible of childrens for MainTree is 8 (containing all the other "trees"). The other "trees" (as example imageTree or soundTree) are siblings and are the childrens of "MainTree", Every one of those "trees" contains a variable number of entry_types that are its childrens
The attributes of the RCOXML Objects (entry_types starting with 0x08) and RCOXML Animations (entry_types starting with 0x09) can be grouped in standard attributes (used by most entryes of this type) and specific attributes (different for every entry_type). The standard attributes are always located before the specific attributes
First two bytes are swapped based on architecture (PSP in little endian, PS3 in big endian). The table shows the values in big endian

A reference attribute is composed by two values, the first is the reference_type that indicates the "tree" of the entry that is going to be loaded, and the second is a pointer to a text string with the label of the entry that is going to be loaded
The reference_type event doesnt loads an entry from a "tree" though, it runs a code function from either a .sprx (by storing the text native:/ as part of the text string inside the RCO) or from a VSMX script (by storing the text script:/ as part of the text string inside the RCO)

Standard attributes used by animations[edit | edit source]

RCO TOC Animations standard attributes
[edit]
Offset	Length	Type	Name			Example (TOC)	Example (XML)	Notes
0x28	0x08	ref	object	Yes	Yes	04 09 / 00 00 / 12 34 56 78	`<Element object="object:label"/>`	links the animation to an object (ref_type[2], padding[2], label_string_table_offset[4])
0x30	0x04	float	time	Yes	Yes	44 7A 00 00	`<Element time="1000"/>`
0x34	0x04	int	accelMode	Yes	Yes	00 00 00 03	`<Element accelMode="0x3"/>`

accelMode. Used to accelerate or decelerate an animation, used by most of the animations, posible values are:
- 0x0 - no accelaration
- 0x1 - starts fast, ends slow
- 0x2 -
- 0x3 -
- 0x4 - starts slow, ends fast

Measure units and conversions[edit | edit source]

[edit]

Measure units used in RCOXML code

XYZ Position, in pixels
RGBA Color Scale in percentage in a scale from 0 up to 1, where 1 represents the max value posible of 255 (decimal value divided by 255 to get into this scale)
XYZ Size, in pixels, negative numbers mirrors the image
XYZ Size Scale, in percentage in a scale from 0 up to 1, negative numbers mirrors the image
Time, in miliseconds, where 1000 is one second
XYZ Angle, in radians with right-handed rule coordinates, where radians=(π*degrees)/180, and degrees=(180*radians)/π, as example for one turn of 360º degrees: radians=(3.141*360)/180=6.283 ...so... 360º degrees = 6.283 radians

Triggers (or "fires") an event, there are different types of events (see RCOXML Coding). The most used inside animations are "native events" and "animation events" itself

By triggering an animation event from inside an animation... both animations are played consecutivelly. Also is posible to reload the animation by triggering itself to create an infinite animation loop, see the examples in RCOXML ofw animations

Disables XMB. Note in Talk:Custom_render_plugin how anim_coldboot, anim_coldboot2, anim_gameboot, and anim_otherboot animations starts by locking the XMB to dont interfere

In latest firmwares (where is used coldboot.raf animation) if XMB is not locked + having a dynamic theme applyed the PS3 crashes. Is because inside dynamic themes the background is a .raf animation. Is not posible to play 2 .raf animations together overlapped (from coldboot.raf and from inside a dynamic theme)
