== Differences in Notetrack lists ==
World at War and Black Ops by Treyarch differ a little bit from the original XANIM_EXPORT version 3:

=== CoD5 ===

All XANIM_EXPORT files have an empty notetrack list, the nodes are separately stored as *.NT_EXPORT:

<pre>NUMKEYS 2
FRAME 29 "knife_stab_plr"
FRAME 43 "knife_pull_plr"</pre>
*'''NUMKEYS''' number of notetrack nodes
*'''FRAME''' description:
**Frame number
**"name string"

=== CoD7 ===
At the bottom of all XANIM_EXPORT files you find this instead of a regular notetrack list:

<pre>NUMKEYS 0</pre>

If there are notetracks for an animation, they are separately stored as *.NT_EXPORT, which you have to specify in AssetManager to convert notetracks.

<pre>FIRSTFRAME 50
NUMFRAMES 93
NUMKEYS 7
FRAME 71 "sndnt#fly_python_open"
FRAME 71 "rmbnt#reload_clipout"

FRAME 101 "rmbnt#reload_clipin"
FRAME 123 "sndnt#fly_python_close"
FRAME 123 "rmbnt#reload_rechamber"
</pre>
*'''FIRSTFRAME''' frame number of the first frame in the corresponding XANIM_EXPORT file
*'''NUMKEYS''' number of notetrack nodes<br />---
*'''FRAME''' description:
**Frame number
**"name string"
