== TEX Texture Data Format for PC by [[User:MirixMirex|MirixMirex]] (Edits by [[User:Aali|Aali]]) ==

Sometimes, (I'm 'Pixel values of 0 may or may not sure if it is used in ff7 at all)be transparent, when bit depth is 16 data are stored as packed RGB in style RGB555depending on the color key status, which means 5 bits per color in one 2 byte entrymore on that later. This also applies to non-paletted formats. ''
