SCMap Images

BrewMapTool extracts 10 images from scmap files; 5 of which raw files. The following are the properties of the textures from Snoey Triangle, a 512×512 ogrid map (~10 KM), in the order they appear within the scmap binary. The non-raw images don't have to be a specific size, however the texture masks will get resized to the listed values. The preview image can be any format that the UI can handle, including jpg, png, bmp, tga, and dds.
