CryENGINE

What is a DBA file?

A .DBA file can have several different formats. Frequently, it is a CryENGINE Animation Database File created by Crytek for the CryENGINE game engine. These files store 3D character animations and movements. Other software also uses the .DBA extension. It is often a Palm Desktop calendar database, a Microsoft Jet database, or a standard SQLite database. Sometimes, developers use .DBA for DarkBASIC source code or Sony PlayStation game data archives.

How to open DBA files?

Because the .DBA file has multiple possible meanings, you must identify the correct format first. If you know the file is an animation database, you can open it with CryENGINE. If it is a standard database, tools like DB Browser for SQLite can read the tables. Text-based DarkBASIC files open easily in Notepad++.
