Provided they can be opened with a image soft, most of the land textures can't be opened with conventional image soft (same goes for textures of objects in game). This is one thing which if solved, we would have new textures for tanks, ships, TREES etc.

So now I am investigating why we cannot open these TGA files.

The reason is simple: the TGA header is completely missing !!! hock:

So I took the header from one of the few images that open (CenterCity.tga) and, using a Hex editor, pasted it into one of the images that do not open (DownCity.tga).

Half Bingo !!

The image opens, shapes are barely recognizable, but colors are completely off:



So there is still something that throws off the alignment of the R,G,B bytes that form the pixel. I tried adding one or two extra bytes to restore alignment, but it did not work.

This must not be a difficult problem for someone who knows well the TGA format.
