Standard attributes

RCO TOC Animations standard attributes

Offset	Length	Data 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 effect, 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

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

• 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

RCO TOC reference types

reference_type	pointer	Method	Loader	Loads	From	Example (XML)	Notes
0xFFFF0000	0xFFFFFFFF	n/a	All	Nothing	None	<Entry reference="nothing"/>

0x04090000	absolute	object:	RCOXML Animations	ObjectTree/Object	RCOXML code	<Entry object="object:plane_myplane"/>

• 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)
• First two bytes are swapped based on architecture (PSP in little endian, PS3 in big endian). The table shows the values in big endian

(0x09 0x08) FireEvent

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

(0x09 0x09) Lock

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)
