File Formats

VGAPainter Artwork Data (*.vad)

The raw image data for each pixel without palette context. Useful for rendering on older hardware.

Offset	Size (in bytes)	Contents	Description
0x00	0x4	"TGRV" ( 0x54 0x47 0x52 0x56 )	The file's magic number
0x04	0x2	little endian 16-bit integer	Bitmap width
0x06	0x2	little endian 16-bit integer	Bitmap height
0x08	Width × Height	8-bit integers	Bytes representing each pixel colour

VGAPainter Artwork Palette (*.vap)

The palette data stored in RGB formats. Useful for sharing a common palette across multiple bitmaps.

Offset	Size (in bytes)	Contents	Description
0x00	0x4	"TGRP" ( 0x54 0x47 0x52 0x50 )	The file's magic number
0x04 + 3 × i	0x3	3 × 8-bit integers	Bytes for Red, Green and Blue components

Unfinished: VGAPainter Artwork Combo (*.vac)

File used combing the bitmap and palette data. Could be used in artwork creation and should be able to be split into separate *.vad and *.vap files.

Offset	Size (in bytes)	Contents	Description
0x00	0x4	"TGRC" ( 0x54 0x47 0x52 0x43 )	The file's magic number
0x04	0x2	little endian 16-bit integer	Bitmap width
0x06	0x2	little endian 16-bit integer	Bitmap height
0x08	0x1	8-bit integer	Colours in included palette
0x08	Width × Height	8-bit integers	Bytes representing each pixel colour
