SOme questions about anmations and some files (.o and .ffn)

I need some help with adding/extracting/recplacing anmiations from all NBA lives
I understand that they are in the xanims and xsyms files, but thats all I know about anims
I dont understand .o and .ffn giles what are they And what is the differece from JaoSmings beta 06 patch to the original debug.ffn file?
Thanks

Basically all animation edits are taking a ord or orl from a different EA basketball game and replacing the existing animations in 08 with it. After you gotta edit the aiact to accept those changes so the game actually uses those animations.

.o files in 2005 - 08 are basically uneditable. they control bench player positions, the lights in the stadiums, and some animations.


the debug.ffn file was included by accident....it shouldn't/doesn't change anything...its not edited.

Could you please explain to me what each file .ord .olr means?

What about the debug.ffn file? You know what that is good for?
