DKRDS Model is the nameless file format used in Diddy Kong Racing DS that stores models and textures. Its type identifier in assets.bin is 0x18, although it has also been seen in some 0x00-type files.

File Format

The file byte order is always little endian.

Header

The file starts with a header that is 48 bytes long. Unused models that might use an older version of the format have been seen with a 44-byte long header.

Offset Type Description
0x00 UInt16 Size flag. This flag indicates how much the vertex data is divided by in the short-to-float conversion:
  • 0 = Divided by 16 (?)
  • 1 = Divided by 4096 (?)
0x02 UInt16 Unknown various flags. Each bit seems to correspond to a different flag:
  • 0 = If 1, bone IDs are attached to each vertex
0x04 UInt16 Number of models (M).
0x06 UInt16 Unknown.
0x08 UInt16 Number of textures.
0x0A UInt16 Unknown.
0x0C Int32 Unknown.
0x10 Byte[12] Unknown. Padding? In earlier versions this would be an 8-byte padding instead
0x1C Int32 Model Group offset.
0x20 Int32 Texture Group offset.
0x24 Int32 Texture Reference Table offset.
0x28 Int32 Unknown.
0x2C Int32 Unknown.
0x30 End of header

Model Group

The model group consists of M model entries.

Offset Type Description
0x00 Model Entry[M] Model entries.

Model Entry

Each model entry starts with a 16-byte header. All offsets are relative to the start of this entry.

Model Entry Header
Offset Type Description
0x00 UInt16 Number of vertices (V).
0x02 UInt16 Number of triangles (T).
0x04 Int32 Vertex Data offset.
0x08 Int32 Triangle Data offset.
0x0C UInt16 Unknown.
0x0E UInt16 Unknown.
0x10 End of header

Vertex Data

Vertex data is stored as either 6-byte or 8-byte groups per vertex V, depending on the file header's flags.

Offset Type Description
0x00 Vertex Entry[V] Vertex entries.
Vertex Entry
Offset Type Description
0x00 Int16[3] Vertex XYZ position.
If Unknown various flag 0 = 1
0x06 UInt16 Bone ID.

Triangle Data

Triangle data is stored as 26-byte groups per triangle T.

Offset Type Description
0x00 Triangle Entry[T] Triangle entries.
Triangle Entry
Offset Type Description
0x00 UInt16 Texture ID. References the index from the Texture Reference Table.
0x02 UInt16[3] Vertex indices.
0x08 UInt16[3] Vertex colors. One per vertex, in RGBA5551 format.
0x0E UInt16[2][3] UVs. One set per vertex.

Texture Group

See DKRDS Texture Group.

Texture Reference Table

This section lists each 4-byte texture UID directly, in order. The index of each reference is used in the model data to know which texture corresponds to which triangle.

Offset Type Description
0x00 Byte[4][Number of Textures in Texture Group] Texture UID.
