Sequence Archives (.ssar)

An SSAR or sound sequence archive is like a giant sequence that contains multiple entry points. Each of those entry points contain sequence info similar to that found in the main sound data archive.

The Main File

The main file contains of a File Header and a Data Block.

Type	Description
SoundFileHeader	Sound File Header (Magic: SSAR. Always contains 1 block)
Block	Data Block

Data Block Body (Magic: DATA)

Contains sequence entries, and sequence commands to execute.

Offset	Type	Description
0x00	a32	Absolute offset from the start of the SSAR file to the sequence data. Formula for calulating is 0x20 + 12 * NumSequences
0x04	Table<SequenceEntry>	Sequences
—-	u8[-]	See the SSEQ specification on how to parse the sequence commands. Just be sure to separate it from padding by removing 0s until 0xFF is reached

Sequence Entry

Each sequence inside the sequence archive has the following layout:

Offset	Type	Description
0x00	u32	Offset to start of the sequence’s sequence data relative to the start of the sequence command data. The rest of the information is 0’d out if this is 0 as that means it is a null entry
0x04	u16	Bank Id
0x06	u8	Volume
0x07	u8	Channel Priority
0x08	u8	Player Priority
0x09	u8	Player Id
0x0A	u16	Padding
