Alright. I've fallen back into MegamanLegends. The program Yu_Ri can do near perfect extractions of all the textures in this game (indicating to me that the file type might not be so strange).
Anyway. I'll just try to describe what I've found. Lemme know if it sounds familiar. Let me know if there is some database of image file formats that I can brouse. Thanks.

Here's a summary: So basically, thanks to Yu_Ri, I could quickly determine what is the color palettes and what are the pixels. But the other info is kind of confusing.

The last short before the pixels gives the height.
The short before that gives the width BUT NOT DIRECTLY. ie, hex 4000 means 256w and hex 2000 means 128 width. Some other data imediately after the palette appears to indicate something about the size. Lemme put up some examples.

Here is an example of a texture file, with the color palettes and pixels removed. Note the 2 areas remaining are the part that are still confusing to me. Here are several "headers" that I have taking from various files to compair them. (the names next to each header are just descriptions I've made for myself. There are no file names that I know of.) More interesting is the data between the color palettes and the pixels. Here are some examples: You can see that the first portion of each of these (after the consistant 0C) indicates something of the size. The last two shorts indicate deminision. As all with width of 256 have 4000 as the second to last short. All textures with height of 256 have the short 0001.

K. So if you recognize any of this, or have an idea of what is going on, please let me know. Or atleast refer me to where I can look up descriptions of different image formats so that I can try to find something simular.

Thanks

I realize this is an uber-bump, and I apologize, but I didn't really want to leave this topic open when I have... Well, as close to an answer as I can find, really

Anyways, the texture format used in Megaman Legends would appear to be the .TIM format used in a lot of PSX games (and it seems they didn't change the format at all for the PC version). It does appear to be slightly different than normal .TIM textures, as, while some programs like PSicture can read the textures, and display them with the correct palette and everything, they are somewhat scrambled. It isn't too hard to unscramble them, though, once they're extracted into a useable format, such as .BMP, preferably through PSicture.

Basically, you need to open the extracted texture in an image editting program. I prefer photoshop, simply for the column selector, useful for what needs to be done. After opening, then select the first two columns of pixels (this is where the column selector comes in), and flip them horizontally. Then do the same with the next two columns after that. And the next two. And so on, until you get to the other side of the texture. And then the texture is fixed. Of course, to make all future fixings easier, you can also record all of that into a macro as you're doing it, so you can just play back the macro to fix any future textures as well.

Again, I realize this is a super-bump, and that the original posted probably won't see this, but hopefully, if someone else is wondering the same thing and happens across this in Google, as I did, then they'll have the answer here.

Hi!!! Im trying to develope a megaman legend model extractor. You have the YuRi program? I need it!
