The VGFM Raw Tileset Format is used by Vinyl Goddess From Mars to store various UI graphics.
The format is similar to VGFM Tileset Format except the tile data here is in standard VGA layout rather than in an odd coding system, and each tile can be a different size.
Signature
There is no signature, but careful parsing of the fields to ensure they have expected values can allow files to be detected. There is no data trailing the pixelData field, so if this field ends right at the end of the file, it is highly probable the file is in this format.
File format
| Data type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| UINT16LE | count | Number of tiles in the tileset |
| TILE[count] | tile | Variable length data for all tiles (see below) |
The TILE structure is as follows:
| Data type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| UINT16LE | lenTile | Number of bytes in the tile data (not including this field) |
| UINT16LE | width | Width of the image, in pixels |
| UINT16LE | height | Height of the image, in pixels |
| UINT8[lenTile] | pixels | Pixel data, one byte per pixel |
