In Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return, the DAT file is used to store data assets that are essential for the game's gameplay. It stores different types of game data, each with its own format:

  • SPRT - Sprite Data
  • SMST - 3D Model Data, Standard Assets
  • MDAT - 3D Model Data, Level Geometry
  • TXTD - Text Data (explained in detail here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbk2eXQPL68)
  • ALFD - Asset Animation Data (responsible for moving limbs and model fragments, but doesn't construct skeleton - it seems like skeleton constructing occurs in MAIN.EXE)
  • TANP - Tomba Animation Data
  • BETP - Animation data type 2
  • SCLD - Level Collision Data
  • DRWB - Drawmaps - used to display chunks of level only visible to camera
  • BGMP - Backgrounds

DAT extraction

DAT file can be extracted using Tomba 2 Extraction Script.
