intro

TextHeader.bin is created by Binpbo personal edition 2.5 and greater. It is placed in the primary folder of the addon.pbo, and comprises of information from all pax files encountered in that addon from all it's possible data trees.

Information here has been gleaned from the very few texheaders in Arrowhead (approx 24) and won't necessarily be complete as a result.

File Structure

struct TexHeader.bin
{
 MimeType "0DHT" ;    // NOT asciiz. '0' = 0x30. This is mimetype "TexHeaDer0"
 ulong    version;    // 1
 ulong    nTextures;  // 
 TexBody  TexBodies[nTextures];
};

 bytes          AverageColor[b,g,r,a];//AVGCTAGG in PAx file

  • BIS have finally learned to use relative file addressing. This might be the precursor to a better future where we leave oops modelling nightmares behind.

Texture Type

values seen

  • 0 GREY
  • 4 RGB4
  • 6 DXT1
  • 10 DXT5

this value is repeated in each mipmap

Color float

anyfloat= anybyte/255.0;

mipmap

MipMap
{
 ushort width,ushort height;     //as per same mipmap in the pax
 ushort Always0;
 byte   TextureType;             //same value as above
 byte   Always3;
 ulong  dataOffset;              //OFFSTAGG in PAx file. position of mipmap data in pax file
};
