NAME

       xoreostex2tga — BioWare textures to TGA converter

SYNOPSIS

       xoreostex2tga [options] input_file output_file

DESCRIPTION

       xoreostex2tga converts textures of various formats found in BioWare games into plain TGA images.

       Supported formats:
       DDS     Both  the common DirectDraw Surface format and BioWare's own, completely different DDS format are
               supported, each with a variety of pixel formats
       SBM     Found in Jade Empire, holding font glyphs
       TXB     Textures in Jade Empire and the Xbox version of Knights of the Old Republic
       TPC     Textures in other versions of Knights of the Old Republic.
       TGA     Textures in various games, in many different pixels formats

       The output format is always either 24-bit or 32-bit BGR(A) TGA, depending on whether the input  file  has
       an alpha channel or not.  Only the highest resolution mip map will be used.
