 . There's no sizes, so if there's another texture after the one you're getting, then subdivide next texture position from current position to get size and determine texture resolution. If it's the last texture, then it gets a bit tricky, as in many ways the file is not ending with texture but SCOT for example..

 There is no unified format for MAG files. Every file has their own naming, even extension. You can't really distinguish them.
-Files starting with 10 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 are obviously TIM texture. What we know so far is how to extract GF sequence and GF environment geometry (ifrit ball, Leviathan's rock, Cerberus gate...)
