Open DBA File
DBA extension files have some several uses with different formats, namely some of them below:
CryENGINE
In this section, the DBA file is a file created by the CryENGINE SDK.
About CryENGINE
CryEngine is a game engine created by the German software developer Crytek as a suite of programs for game developers used to create PC and console games.
Since 2006, all the rights to CryEngine have been acquired by the video game distributor Ubisoft.
The DBA file saves the 3D character animation data in a highly optimized and compressed format that is suitable for use with the final built game.
DBA files are directly associated with CBA and CHR files, which are configuration and character files, respectively, at compile time.
Dark BASIC
In this section, and similar to the previous application, the DBA file is a file written in DarkBASIC, a programming language provided by The Game Creators for the development of 3D computer games for Windows.
About DarkBASIC
DarkBASIC Professional was an advanced game development package built on top of the BASIC language.
It became the starting point for many novice programmers.
DarkBASIC can be used to develop first-person shooters, puzzle games, virtual worlds, fighting games, and much more.
In this case, the DBA file contains the source code and uses a syntax based on the BASIC language.
The DBA can be compiled and run using any DarkBASIC-based IDE.
DBA files can be an entire game or part of a game.
PalmOS
In this latest application, the DBA is a backup file created for Palm mobile devices.
About Palm
Palm was a line of personal digital assistants and mobile phones developed by Palm, Inc.
Palm devices were the first handheld computers, extremely popular, and in turn ushered in the age of smartphones.
The Palm operating system, called Palm OS, was designed, from the ground up, with a touchscreen-based graphical user interface.
In this case, the DBA format contains a backup copy of the calendar data, known as the 'agenda', which includes scheduled events and their associated notes and information.
DBA files can be used to synchronize data between Palm devices and desktop email and calendar programs.
