Hmm, well, just looking at it briefly, it would seem to be a texture of 128x128 in size, it's not compressed it seems, as 128x128 = 0x4000h, and it has a palette of 256 colours probably (256xRGBAlpha = 0x400). Together this is 0x4400h, the exact size of the texture data (starts at offset 0x14h).

But I haven't looked throroughly enough as to type of texture.

Starting from Mr.Mouse's description (though the palette comes first, so the texture data actually starts at 0x0414 ;-)) and for a moment ignoring the alpha channel, as I currently only have a BMP writing library at hand, this is what I have got. I am not sure whether the palette orientation is BGR (on the left) or RGB (on the right).

So, there is not much to it, as already suspected.

Any thoughts?

Sure, test the attached program. Usage via the command line:

Code: Select all

TEX2TGA *.tex
or similar ...

Im not sure about the alpha channel, though. The results look a bit weird to me, but then again, I do not know what this texture is supposed to represent. You will have to check that for yourself.

I thought that too, but the black parts of the image are marked as opaque, while everything else (also what I would interpret as metal) is attributed a value somewhere in the middle ranges. Thus, even turning the scale upside down does not make much sense.

Interesting fact: The palette seems to be sorted by what I have presumed to be the alpha value. I'm not sure whether this has some importance.

I also noted that in the example picture you displayed the right image seemed to have correct skin tone for the pilot's face. Hm. Games and their odd formats, no?

Maybe the right example uses the correct colour sequence. I am still not sure about that ...
But you are right, games tend to have have very odd formats. I am actually quite grateful for the current trend towards the use of standardized file formats.

Okay, that probably settles our discussion. ;-)
