Tales of the Abyss files

[puggsoy]

It does indeed have multiple palettes, one for each icon in fact. Rainbow (a rather good TIM2 viewer) reads in the number of palettes but doesn't seem to store it or allow you to switch them.

I made a GFXtract script to handle these particular files:

Code:

idstring TIM2
get VERSION short
get TNUM short
goto 8 cur

for i = 0 < TNUM
   get SEGSIZE long
   get PALLEN long
   get LENGTH long
   get HEADLEN short
   get PALNUM short
   math PALNUM /= 0x10
   get FORMAT byte
   get MIPNUM byte
   get CLUT byte
   get BPP byte
   
   if BPP == 1
       set BPP 16
   elif BPP == 2
       set BPP 24
   elif BPP == 3
       set BPP 32
   elif BPP == 4
       set BPP 4
   elif BPP == 5
       set BPP 8
   else
       print "Invalid bit depth!"
       exit
   endif
   
   get WIDTH short
   get HEIGHT short
   goto 0x18 cur
   
   savepos OFFSET
   set PALOFF OFFSET
   math PALOFF += LENGTH
   
   for j = 0 < PALNUM
       get NAME basename
       string NAME += _pal
       string NAME += j
       goto OFFSET
       
       setformat BPP RGBA 1 32 PALOFF
       read IMG WIDTH HEIGHT
       savepng IMG NAME
       
       math PALOFF += 0x40
   next j
next i

This doesn't handle all TIM2 files, but I'm going off of the assumption that all of the files from this game are similar (in terms of their format and version). Unfortunately there's no way to tell how to separate the icons (and besides GFXtract doesn't have that functionality yet) so what it'll do is output the same image multiple times but with different palettes. You'll have to cut out the individual icons manually, I'm afraid.

By the way, just out of curiosity may I ask how the TXD files were handled?
