OBD talk:TXMP

Complete and accurate knowledge on the TXMP format is badly needed.

For one thing, incomplete/inaccurate knowledge may be a reason why repacking (with OUP) fails.

Also, import and export lack a few features (alpha, env maps) and may get colors slightly wrong.

Basically, the incomplete/inaccurate information is related to the three bytes below, and to the associated RAW/SEP formats.

One not-too-comfortable aspect is that apparently contradictory settings for the 3 bytes are somehow interpreted by Oni.

Option	Value	Meaning
MIP-mapping types	00	off
	01	on
	11	unknown
	1C	unknown (used for skyboxes, works with 00 too)
Color depths	10	16 bit
	12	16 bit + shade vertex
	14	16 bit + 4 bits for the alpha channel
	20	32 bit
Store types	00	uncompressed, with alpha blending
	01	uncompressed, without alpha blending
	02	unknown
	03	unknown
	08	32 bit uncompressed (used for skyboxes)
	09	compressed
	0A	unknown
	0B	unknown

Bitsets or indices

Store type

probably an index

MIP mapping

not sure

maybe they are not only MIP mapping options

(in that case almost certainly a set of flags)

Color depth

It's not just the color depth

(actually, quite little to do with color depth)

so almost certainly a bitset.

MIP mapping

0x01

This one "just" turns mip mapping on and off.

For uncompressed pictures, resampling is trivial.

what about compressed ones.

0x10

This one is enabled for env-mapped textures and env maps themselves.

Also enabled for skyboxes?

0x08

0x04

Enabled for skyboxes (anything special about the format?)

Anything else?

There aren't so many values: 0, 1, 17, 28. It's hard to decide against an ID.

A bitset does make some sense because both 1 and 17 use MIP mapping...

Color depth

Actually, the colors are parsed according to the store type.

This one only sets the depth for miscellaneous extras (alpha, env map, etc)

0x01

Used when again?

0x02

Reads the high byte as env map (0x00 is "little", 0xFF is "much")

Sometimes used in conjunction with 5x5x5 textures, i.e. if it really

reads the whole byte, the 3 lower bits will be garbage. Not sure...

0x04

Reads the high byte as alpha (0x00 is transparent, 0xFF is opaque)

0x08

Used when again?

0x10

On if there are 16 bits per uncompressed pixel (color depth etc may vary)

0x20

On if there are 32 bits per uncompressed pixel (color depth etc may vary) (or may they?)

0x40

Looks like TXAN looping ON/OFF. Somebody please check somehow ^^

0x80

Never used?

Store type

Data per pixel, uncompressed unless mentioned otherwise

0

(4,4,4) RGB, 4 bits extra (interpreted as alpha or env map blending)

1

(5,5,5) RGB and 1 bit extra, or (5,6,5) RGB?

2

(5,5,5) RGB, 1 bit extra

8

(8,8,8) RGB?

9

compressed (four times) (algorithm detailed elsewhere)

Anything else?
