$A8 $4 unknown (always zero)
for $B entries
+$0 $2 chain attack animation ID
$C2 $32 unknown but it doesnt matter the 3D model loader doesnt map this to RAM at all)

$0 $2 joint group is asigned to
$2 $2 last vertex in this group
(the next vertex will become the first vertex for the next group)

There is no pointer to the texture map section you must walk the file by going to the
magic effects section and reading the size of that section. then add 8 (number of bytes in
the magic section header
