Other way is to treat first one as 6 BIT's, and second one as 2 BIT.
string StrByte = InputBytes[TexturePage_index].ToString("X2"); //Gets TPage byte as HEX text StrByte = "0" + StrByte.Substring(1); // Deletes the first char/ 4 bits Byte TPage = Byte.Parse(StrByte); // Parses result as new byte int TPageINT = TPage * 128; //For 8 -bit TIM's, the texture page : 0xB2 byte is : 2*128 sized= 256
ExampleFor 4-bit TIM: 0xB2 byte is:2*128 256 = 256512

== How is this file handled by the engine? ==
FF8 loads specific file and reads it from hardcoded (written in FF8 code) position(or reads MIPS PlayStation assembly that contains battle stage load code). This hardcoded position points to camera data(in PC). Camera data has size uint16, which is calculated and relative jump is made. Just after camera, a typical section based file handling is made.

== Camera data ==
Starts at ~0x5d4, operates on 4 bytes translation of X Y and Z axis(see How the engine handles this file?). Due to orthogenical view also operates camera in screen view making it possible to move camera from 2D generated screen[. TODOtext: One thing is missing- how does the camera start and structure of camera key-movement. Global parameters of camera translations are known.00509820]

Now carefully, jump by multiplying it by 2! ## 0x604 + (0x25E * 2) = 0xAC0 Therefore: a0stg006.x Camera animation 7 in camera collection 0 is at 0xAC0

=== Texture page calculation ===
Byte TPage = InputBytes[TexturePage_index] & 0F;
Bitwise TPage byte AND 0F, to delete first 4 bits
int TPageINT = TPage * 64;
For 16 bit TIM's, the texture page is 64 pixels wide
====Example====
For 24-bit TIM:
0xB2 byte is: 2*48 = 96
Unsure about this one. It could be 42.667 instead of 48. It takes 1.5x the space of 16 bit. I haven't seen a file that uses 24-bit yet.
For 16-bit TIM:
0xB2 byte is: 2*64= 128
=== Face order / Translation/ triangulation ===
ABCD ---> ABDC
example:
f 1 2 4 3
ABDC > ABD
ACD (same for VT)
f 1 2 4
f 1 3 4
A/T1 > A/T2
B/T2 > B/T3
C/T3 > C/T1
(Also with quad triangulation face order!)
f 1/1 2/2 7/4 6/3
