For Textures:
Texture Start
[4] - Unknown (00010403) seems to initiate all textures?
[4] Dimension x
[4] Dimension y
[4] Image Size in Bytes
[4] Type? 0x12 (18 ) = DXT3 / 0x10 (16) = DXT1 (All this is guess work based on math :p )
[4] Mip Maps
[4] Alpha?
[4] ?
[4] ?
I'm trying to figure out what kind of files and how I could possibly extract the models, graphics, textures or use it in any way from these types of files:
.xbt
.xbg
.xba
.mac.mrg.bin
.mcl.mrg.bin
.man.mrg.bin
I checked out the header structure and dimension X and dimension Y are equal to each other, and image size was 512 on one xbt I checked.. the rest I don't what to make out of it
I'd appreciate any insight or help in analayzing these files, I provide a link to get some sample files here:
http://tzfiles.com/users/shrek/xentaxsmplpackage.rar
the password is: fcxentax
BTW: the mac.mrg... mcl.mrg.. appears to be a naming convention. so I suppose the file format is just .bin plainly, the .bin files are grouped together with usually 1 xbt file, it seems that maybe the .bin are some kind of resources used for the .xbt file, so maybe these are archives that are extractable as well....
