exp Format

[!] files contain all the information neccessary to correctly render and animate any 3D geometry on the PSP.

Each [!]-File contains multiple Models and Textures to represent a single entity to render, additionally storing skeletal heirarchy and animation data chunks.

These files include

• TYPE-0 Characters, Monsters, NPCs and various prop Models
• TYPE-1 Location Map Models

File Structure

File Header: 0x80 bytes [128 bytes]

   0x00   magic " !' " [0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x21 0x27 0x00 0x00]

   0x0A   SHORT: number of Models in VERTEX-CHUNK
   0x0E   SHORT: number of Textures in TEXTURE-CHUNK

   0x10   DWORD: offset to [unknown chunk 1]

   0x14   DWORD: offset to VERTEX Chunk start
   0x1C   DWORD: offset to TEXTURE Chunk start

VERTEX Chunk

   For each Model, 8-bytes per entry: (the count is located at 0x0A in File Header)

	0x00   DWORD: Texture-ID of the texture to use (zero based)
	0x04   DWORD: offset to Vertex-data start for this Model
   
   Model Vertex Data:
 
	0x00   DWORD: TYPE of data [see notes]
        0x04   beginning of PSP-Encoded vertex data [see notes]

The *TYPE* value determines how to parse the vertex-data which follows, and known values are:

• 00 - Used for Characters, Monsters, Props, etc
• 01 - Used for Location-Maps

See the section on PSP-GPU for more information on parsing the vertices.

TEXTURE Chunk

   For each Texture, 16-bytes per entry: (the count is located at 0x0E in File Header)

        0x00   SHORT: image Width
        0x02   SHORT: image Height
        0x04   DWORD: Interlacing Mode [see notes]
        0x08   DWORD: offset to PALLETE-data start
        0x0C   DWORD: offset to PIXEL-data start

   PALLETE data:

        [see notes]

   PIXEL data:

        [see notes]

The PIXEL and PALLETE data are as per the [TEX] format
