[4] Bytes - Decompressed Size
[4] Bytes - Compressed Size
Decompressed Data

[2] Bytes - Image Dimension (X) it takes up on Map *

[4] Bytes - Unknown
[6] Bytes - Null?
[4] Bytes - Always (01 00 00 00) Indicates Image Start
~ DXT1 Image (To get Image size take actual dimension ( X * Y / 2)

*The Rest of file is currently Unknown
Third Section (Flora/Model)

The only offset to this section exists in Static Map Header see: [4] Bytes - Offset in Third Section table (Third // Section Offset + these bytes)

*The following entries are very sloppy and jump around quite a bit.

[4] Bytes - always zero?
[4] Bytes - if zero again it will need to read until it is at least reaches 1.
[4] Bytes - Global X coords [Float]
[4] Bytes - Global Y coords [Float]
[4] Bytes - Global Z coords [Float]
[4] Bytes - Unknown (Rotation?) [Float]
[4] Bytes - Unknown (Always 23?) [Float]
[4] Bytes - Unknown [Integer]
[4] Bytes - Offset to Chunk [Integer]
[4] Bytes - Chunk Size [Integer]
[4] Bytes - Offset in Chunk (take above Offset + This) [Integer]
[2] Bytes - Placement X? [Short]
[2] Bytes - Placement Y? [Short]
[2] Bytes - Size X? [Short]
[2] Bytes - Size Y? [Short]
[1] Byte - Indicates more entries. If zero reading is finished.

Here is the Tricky Part. If Offset above leads directly to anything other than zero you read below, else the entry is // dead and the loop above is redone.

[4] Bytes - Number of Sections (Array) [Integer]
[4] Bytes - Chunk Offset [Integer]
[4] Bytes - Chunk Size [Integer]
[4] Bytes - Package Offset (Chunk Offset + Package Offset) (This will lead to compressed data) [Integer]

Also the game mostly uses lzo1x compression, and dxt(textures).
