What I can't figure out how to do is either view the dat files, or which one to look into for this info.
Has anyone ever been able to unpack the various pak files? I can view a bit of info in a hex editor but I can't seem to figure out how to uncompress them.

It is an array of TGAs along with a duration and whether it loops or not. I'm leaning on the side that skins just aren't capable of handling the animation elements. Has someone tried mapping just a single TGA to the 9th pip?
It is named "mettle_9_Pips_9pips"
Another thought is perhaps we're suppose to leave the sequenced TGAs in skinning folder like... mettle_9_Pips_9pips0001.tga mettle_9_Pips_9pips0002.tga etc.. and then specify the non-indexed version in map.
