Most excellent question!! I'll start with scanning for texture size.
Say we want to find a TGA of a certain size. That info IS in the TGA file so we would scan all files to find the image specifications which are in every tga file. Even in a dat file in SH Games.
We need to understand that format to start the search.
If you have 010 open the iceburg3.dds in your texture folder. (Ya. I'm switching you up to dds but it's the same)
You'll get a popup to install a template. Go ahead and install that. Now you will see how that file is built. Click on the struct DDS_HEADER and you will see the size of that dds file. Unit height is 00 02 00 00 followed by 00 04 00 00
which is 512x 1024
We have the start of a search. Lets be sure we only look for a dds file.
I'll just do a user interface search at this point. Click on search, find in files
put 00 02 00 00 00 04 00 00 in the search box, browse to the SH4 texture folder, and put *.dds in the file types area.
Now this can be scripted also! We can script it so you get a box that will take 512 and convert it to the hex numbers!
Holy Hanna! You don't even need to know hex if a script is written!
