The instructions here for the Phase Files also work for the Toontown Online Phase Files. :)

A long time ago (2014?), I found a guide on how to view animations in Pview.exe on this Wiki (or at least I'm pretty sure it was this Wiki) and I wanted to come back and say how grateful I am.

I either learned about it here, or on User blog:Sasank5678/How to view Animations in the Phase Files. And I still have "pview dog_hi.bam dog_bark_standing_keys.bam" in my notes. Thank you.

(For a Toontown Online equivalent, after putting the decompiled TTO Phase Files in the Panda3D "models" folder, I could type in or copy/paste "C:\Panda3D-1.8.1\bin\pview.exe C:\Panda3D-1.8.1\models\phase_3.5\models\char\tt_a_chr_csc_mickey_vampire_400.bam C:\Panda3D-1.8.1\models\phase_3.5\models\char\tt_a_chr_csc_mickey_vampire_idle.bam" in the command prompt. Even without the cd ("change directory") stuff, it still works.)

This guide here says that pressing "a" in Pview makes it so there's no animation, but it works differently for me (when using Panda3D-1.8.1). "A" makes an animation tab pop up and there IS an option to slow the animation down so much it stops, and there's a slider that lets you move to different frames in the animation.

This Page (317837) used to give credit to Brandoom for the "Loading Textures - .Bam Files" section. I actually have some archives of his old "How to look at Toontown's Phase Files!" Forum Thread in case you ever want to add that back. [https://web.archive.org/web/20140823000349/http://www.thegaminghall.com/forums/threads/55084-How-to-look-at-Toontown-s-Phase-Files! (Archive)] (Archive without the ! at the end) (Archive - Important Anouncement - Closure)

And also the "How To View The Phase Files On Pirates Online" video on this Page is now private. :/ I can't remember how good the video was.
