Elderscolls 1: Arena - need help with compressed (?) images

Post by Pinkertonius »

Hello,

I have been attempting a texture overhaul for the Elderscrolls 1:Arena. Most image files can be loaded raw with the palette file for editing but a small handful have some compression and won't load (at least correctly) using this method. I gave a go at examing them in a hex editor. All I could make out was that the first 9 bytes were always "00 00 00 00 40 01 CB 00 01". I did some net searching too and couldn't find any hits about it at all (in fairness it's really old now). Any help on figuring this out would be appreciated.

Here are the files giving me fits;)

EDIT: Realized the 40 01 CB 00 was the file size (320 x 200). I forgot about Little Endian since I don't do much of this stuff. Still don't know the rest though so...help?
