TXMP is the only known instance type that is interpreted differently by the three kinds of Oni engines on the three plaftorms (Windows, Mac and PS2).

The difference between "PC" (Windows retail) and "Mac" (Windows demo and Mac proper) is minor, even though the checksums are different, and can One stores pixel data in the .raw file, and the other in a .sep file. Apart from that the data format is common (even though the template checksums are different), and is described in the first section below.

The PS2 implementation is significantly different from the other two. It is

0x94	link	00 00 00 00	unused	link to a TXAN file; used if this texture is animated
0x98	link	00 00 00 00	unused	link to a TXMP file that contain the environment map
0x9C	offset	20 00 00 00	00 00 00 20	at this position starts the texture part in the raw file (Windows retail only)
0xA0	offset	00 00 00 00	unused	at this position starts the texture part in the separate file (Windows demo and Mac only)
0xA4	char[12]	AD DE	dead	The layout of these 12 bytes is different for the "PC" and "Mac" versions (i.e. Windows retail vs. Windows demo and Mac): For a Mac or Windows demo TXMP, the four bytes at 0xA4-A7 are "00 00 00 00" instead of "AD DE AD DE", and correspond to a "material type" attributed at runtime (from TMBD), which is then used for impact/breakability lookup. The Windows retail TXMPs apparently have no such "material type" field. The fields at 0xA8-AF (for Windows demo and Mac) or 0xA4-AB (for Windows retail) are used only at runtime (and somehow obfuscated by "DEAD" when written to disk). Judging by the Windows demo and Mac engine, we can assume they are the same in both engines, and serve for rendering optimization (there is a texture name pointer, a "dirty" flag stored as a byte and 3 extra bytes used as flags). For Windows retail, the four bytes at 0xAC-AF are completely unused (not part of the template). Since runtime fields are grouped at the end, PC and Mac TXMPs are treated by OniSplit under the same template, merely switching between the .raw and .sep links, and blanking out everything past 0xA4.

Effect options

"Shield", "Invisibility" and "Daodan shield" options do not affect the texture reading/drawing in any way. The texture data is still RGB555 or whatever format the texture format field says it is. The effect of these flags is that the engine uses vertex shading with a colour that varies with time.

Animation time

When using animated textures the image to display is selected using the game time and animation speed. For textures that are used by particles the local (particle) time can be used either to replace or offset the game time.

Pixel storage order

Pixels are stored in row-major order, meaning that all the pixels forming a scanline (image row) are grouped together (stored in left-to right order); the rows are stored in bottom-to-top order (see illustration below).

In the case of the DXT1 storage format, the row-major, left-to-right, bottom-to-top order applies to the 4x4 blocks composing the image, and also inside each 4x4 block for the storage of 2-bit pixels.

In the case of the I1 format (several pixels per byte), the row-major, left-to-right, bottom-to-top order applies to the 1-bit pixels composing the image.

PS2 implementation

The TXMP layout is mostly the same on the PS2 platform as on the other two, with differences only in the last few bytes.

• There are 4 extra bytes of storage as compared to a Windows demo and Mac TXMP (which is already 4 bytes larger than a Windows retail TXMP).
• The extra 4 bytes come from a palette index (int32) inserted at 0x90, before the pixel format (which is shifted to 0x94 along with everything else that follows).
• Valid palette indices start at 1. Palettes are stored per-level in level#_palette.pal files. Each palette consists of 256 32-bit colors and takes up 1024 bytes.
• The level#_palette.pal files have between 85 and 179 palettes, not counting the first palette (index 0) at the start of each .pal file, which is always blank).
• The pixel format (shifted to 0x94) is typically 0x10, sometimes 0x11. The pixel data is stored in the .raw file at the address

Here is how the end of the rl_1 TXMP looks in level3_Final.dat of the English retail PS2 version.

Offset	Type	Raw Hex	Value	Description
0x90	int32	56 00	86	index of the 256-color palette used by this texture (starts at 0x15800 in level3_palette.pal)
0x94	int32	10 00 00 00	16	texture format #16 (8-bit indexed); #17 also occurs (the difference is not yet documented); other values not yet observed
0x98	link	00 00 00 00	unused	link to a TXAN file; used if this texture is animated
0x9C	link	00 00 00 00	unused	link to a TXMP file that contain the environment map
0xA0	offset	C0 05 00 00	00 00 05 C0	position of the pixel data in the .raw file
0xA4	offset	00 00 00 00	unused	position of the pixel data in the .sep file (unused)
0xA8	int32	00 00 00 00	0	"material type" (supposedly); same runtime usage as for Windows demo and Mac
0xAC	char[4]	AD DE AD DE	dead	actually probably a runtime field used as a pointer to the texture name
0xB0	char[4]	AD DE AD DE	dead	actually more runtime fields (flags) used for rendering optimization
0xB4	char[12]	AD DE	dead	completely unused bytes (not part of the template)
