Though exact RSTB | Though current tools cannot yet calculate exact RSTB values for BFRES files, by analyzing the BFRES files Nintendo shipped with the game and their RSTB entries, it is possible to make some general observations which permit loose estimates for setting BFRES RSTB values. | ||
There are two types of BFRES file: model | There are two types of BFRES file: model and texture. (Texture files are further divided into regular textures, which include <code>Tex1</code> in the name, and mipmaps, which contain <code>Tex2</code> in the name, but there seems to be no difference in RSTB calculations concerning these two types of textures.) | ||

For textures, the ratio of RSTB entry size to BFRES file size increases late, but sharply, as BFRES file size decreases. This makes the estimates for RSTB entry size for textures incredibly easy | For textures, the ratio of RSTB entry size to BFRES file size increases late, but sharply, as BFRES file size decreases.
