The Blues Brothers Sprite Format
From ModdingWiki
This file format is used by The Blues Brothers to store its sprites and foreground tiles, which have at most 16 colors.
File format
A file in this format starts with the number of sprites in the file:
| Data type | Description |
|---|---|
| UINT16LE count | Number of sprites in the file |
It's followed by count records in the following format:
| Data type | Description |
|---|---|
| UINT16LE height | Height of the sprite in pixels |
| UINT16LE width | Width of the sprite in pixels |
| BYTE[height * (width / 8) * 4] | Sprite data in graphic-planar EGA format with four planes |
