> Hey Olaf,

> Could you explain what exactly does this z_ofs and extra_z_ofs does in the TMP (TS) files?

Those point to z_image and extra_z_image inside the file.

But the Z images are a mytery to me and I'm not sure what XCC TMP Editor does with it.

It should point to the second diamond image. Not inside the first.

> At least in the first frame from ramp01.tem (Tiberian Sun). According to what I could see in XCC TMP Editor, the cell is in a high height, but all pixels from it are in the same height... that makes me wonder, why z offset if z (depth) doesnt vary at all? Specially if the height changes are represented by the extra image from the frame than the main image part... but both main image and extra image have a z offset O.o...
