A '''texeture archive''' is a collection of images for use in a game. Texture archives in the [[Grand Theft Auto III]] game trilogy go by the extension <code>.txd</code> ('''T'''e'''x'''ture '''D'''ictionary). The files belong to [[RenderWare_binary_stream_file|RenderWare's binary stream files]]. Since [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] uses the new [[RAGE]] engine, it also uses different texture formats. Textures are still stored in dictionaries but they use the extension <code>[[WTD|.#td]]</code>, where the first character is specific for each platform:

* <code>.'''w'''td</code> for PC Version ('''W'''indows x86)
* <code>.'''x'''td</code> for Xbox 360 Version ('''X'''enon)
* <code>.'''c'''td</code> for PS3 Version ('''C'''ell)

== Tools and Scripts ==
Texture formats in texture archives may vary depending on platform &mdash; on the PC version they are usually encoded as [[wikipedia:S3 Texture Compression|DXTn]] textures or raw bitmaps. The Android and iOS ports of GTA III, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas can load 8-bit BMPs, although they use texture compression formats specific to the video hardware present in the device (i.e. Mali-400 for Samsung's Galaxy S2, S3 and various other devices, and Adreno or [[wikipedia:PVRTC|PowerVR]] for Androids using Qualcomm Snapdragons and Apple devices, respectively), as using bitmaps alone can present a significant performance penalty on the device.
