Animation files research (EBO,BNK)

[Dmitri]

I made a general research about EBO and BNK files. These files store animations for actors (player, referee), ball and camera.
Each animation is stored in .VIV archive (BIG4 format) and contains BNK file, EBO file (optional), and one or few SET files (optional, text files).
In FIFA games, EBO files were introduced in FIFA 2005. BNK files were introduced in FIFA 2004.

BNK (Sequnce Bank) is a file extension in EA Sports games which is used for animation files. BNK files are connected to EBO files and determine how animations are...

For what FIFA Is ir?

PC - FIFA 2005 - FIFA 10.
XBOX - FIFA 07 and maybe more.
I don't know about next FIFAs because I'm not able to open CBAC files to view their content. If you know how to do so - let me know.

Did anyone conduct further research on the animation file ? I am also interested in investigating on the animation file .

 

[Dmitri]

What kind of research? I think the next step could be creating import/export tools for Blender.

I am trying to find where to change or add player animations for fifa ? That’s the research I am talking about because I found out someone else was also investigating on the file that pertains to player animation in fifa .

I don't know what do you mean with "adding animations".
Do you want to perform some special animation at some specific game event? Or add new celebration animation? Or new feints?
Anyway, I think this is mostly hardcoded in the exe.

@Dmitri Man, I am glad to see you post again. Hope you are alright.
Would love to see you come back to releasing Pes/F22 conversions for F14!

What I meant was to have new animations added . I just would like to perform that .
