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.

0x01: This one "just" turns mip mapping on and off.; For uncompressed pictures, resampling is trivial. ==> They are "pre-resampled". It's not done at runtime.; what about compressed ones.
0x02: unknown
0x04: Enabled for skyboxes (anything special about the format?)
0x08: unknown
0x10: This one is enabled for env-mapped textures and env maps themselves.; Also enabled for skyboxes?
0x20: if you use this bit, you get always a white image; never used in Oni (IIRC)
0x40: unknown
0x80: unknown
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...; Well, IMO they're bitsets. I fixed that a long time ago. Ssg 10:59, 13 February 2007 (CET)

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) ==> no changes ==> Oni reads it directly from the raw file
0x20: On if there are 32 bits per uncompressed pixel (color depth etc may vary) (or may they?); IIRC, that bit is never used in Oni. If you use it, Oni chrashes.
0x40: Looks like TXAN looping ON/OFF. Somebody please check somehow ^^
0x80: 16 bit blue (?) - only SHIELD use it

The first two bits of the next bitset are used too:

0x01: 16 bit alpha (?) - only INVIS use it
0x02: 16 bit red (?) - only DAODAN_SHIELD use it Ssg 11:06, 13 February 2007 (CET)

Data per pixel, uncompressed unless mentioned otherwise
