1 object xml file
>=1 texture image (txtr) file
1 text lists file

The extra txtr file(s) can be a bump-map.
The txmt file type is "wallpaperbump" for all HCP wallpaper files and for most in-game wallpaper files. Only a few floor tiles have txmt files of the "Wallpaperpool" type which is for caustic animation.
