== WM0.TXZ ==
The following information applies specifically to WM0.TXZ, it is reasonable to assume that the rest of the TXZ files use a similar format, where WM2.TXZ and WM3.TXZ presumably holds equivalent data for the underwater and snowfield maps respectively.
=== Compression ===
TXZ files are compressed using standard LZS compression where the first 4 bytes contain the size of the compressed data.
=== TXZ archive format ===
Uncompressed TXZ files are divided into several different sections, to extract the different sections a header must be parsed at the beginning of the file. The first 4 bytes will tell you how many sections there are. After that follows 4 * <number of sections> bytes containing offsets into the file for each section. A section can be assumed to end where the next section begins and the last section runs until the end of the file.
== Sections ==
=== WM0.TXZ, section 0 ===
Unknown format, might be a model? Looks like there's atleast one or two textures in there.
=== WM0.TXZ, section 1 ===
Texture data for direct VRAM upload, same format as section 2 but contains only a single block.
=== WM0.TXZ, section 2 ===
Texture data for the worldmap mesh (see .MAP format), starts with a table of 512 palette/texture identifiers in a format compatible with the PSX GPU, see http://psx.rules.org/gpu.txt for more information.
The following structure can be used to read this data:
struct wm_texture
{
unsigned int clutx:6;
unsigned int cluty:10;
unsigned int tx:4;
unsigned int ty:1;
unsigned int abr:2;
unsigned int tp:2;
unsigned int reserved:7;
};
After this table follows a number of blocks intended for direct VRAM upload, each block has the following structure:
{| border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" style="border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; text-align:center"
|+ VRAM Block
|-
! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" align="center" | size
! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" align="center" | description
|-
| 4 bytes
| Size of this block (including header)
|-
| 2 bytes
| Destination X coordinate
|-
| 2 bytes
| Destination Y coordinate
|-
| 2 bytes
| Width
|-
| 2 bytes
| Height
|-
| Width * Height * 2 bytes
| Pixel data
|}
A new block can be assumed to start where the previous one ends until the end of this section is reached.
=== WM0.TXZ, section 3 ===
Unknown format, contains more blocks of VRAM data.
=== WM0.TXZ, section 4 ===
Contains the script for the overworld map, a copy of the data in wm0.ev?
=== WM0.TXZ, section 5-11 ===
These sections contain songs in standard AKAO format. Presumably the different overworld background themes are in there, don't know what else?
