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:

[+]The first bit of the file from TOD Info
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.
