PSX .TOD model animation format - auxfox - 03-14-2013

I've made a thread about this before but it was extremely undetailed and gave no information at all, so I thought I'd start new with a bit more information I know.

I'm ripping files from PaRappa the Rapper for PS1. I'm able to successfully get the .TMD files out and view them in milkshape.

I used the tool TMD RIP, found on this page.

While on that page I also noticed TOD RIP and TOD Info. PaRappa the Rapper uses the .TOD format, which seems general like TMD (why would he make a tool for one game?), so I thought I'd give the program a shot and see what I get out of it. I'm able to get the .TODs out, but NOTHING I have can open the format. I'm assuming .TOD is a format for model animation.

I downloaded the tool TOD Info, and from it, I get this from the file kabe_b.tod:

There's about 200 more "Packet" lines, but they all say the same thing, and at the bottom there's something too but I'll post it if necessary.

I did some research on the format, and I came across this, but I don't understand any of it.

If anyone on this forum can help me out, that'd be great.. [Image: sick.png]

tl;dr: I want to view the animations from PaRappa the Rapper and they're in .TOD format. How do I do such a task.
