FXX/WXX are true colour with an alpha channel.



FXX/WXX sprites will be loaded in place of a classic sprite if they have the same name (eg. <code>hello.WAX</code>, <code>hello.WXX</code>). Their image(s) ''must'' be exactly double the dimensions of the image(s) in the FME or WAX they are substituting for.



=== File format ===

FXX/WXX files contain minimal metadata. The game obtains key data (widths and heights of images, offsets, animation sequences, frame rates, etc.) from the corresponding FME or WAX.



=== Header ===

The FXX/WXX header is as follows.



<pre>

FXX/WXX header

{

   NumImages        int32

   ImageSizes       int32[NumImages]            // The values are the number of pixels in each image

}

</pre>



FXXs will only have one image, WXXs may have one or more corresponding to the number of images in the base WAX.
