Theres a panel in 3D View Properties "TIM" to load files relative to the blender file.

Sub folders are accessed like so: "\\FOLDER\\FOLDER\\FILE.TIM".

TIM files are written to images as a generated PNG.

Details

4 bit, 8 bit, 16 bit, each have a Transparency bit.

This does have data, but i dont know whats its for.

ATM the Transparency bit is set to 1.0.

Might be an Alpha Mask.

I didnt run into any games with 24 bit images.

4 bit, 8 bit textures seem to support animation, by not being square.

These files are diplayed as one image like so: [1][2][3][4].
