MIP maps are stored smallest to largest and generally start with a 1x1 image and can be

put into a DDS container. Some TXTR files do not offer MIP maps.

Image data The size is based on the image format. If this is a MIP, read the data size from the header and figure out the correct

dimensions, they will be proportional to the width/height found in the TXTR header. See the Image format codes for the data size per pixel formula.

Image format codes

0=Unused
1=Raw A8 R8 G8 B8, total data size = width*height*4
2=Raw R8 G8 B8, total data size = width*height*3
3=8bit Alpha
4=DXT1 RGB (no alpha bit) total data size = width*height/2
5=DXT3 ARGB, total data size = width*height
6=Raw Grayscale, total data size = width*height
7=32bitAlt
8=DXT5
9=24bitAlt
