We need these files in brres form to make get read in the CUPASH extraction process. But how? My first question is how did we get InfFace***?? If we knew how to that, we could convert the tpl files into brres. Then we can edit these tgas and test them out.
The brres files are just tpl containers. You don't convert tpls to brres, you hex tpls
into brres. This is why CUPASH needs the original InfFace in order to create new ones; it hexes your new images into the original brres and saves it as a copy.
In other words, you can change stage portraits all you want if you know how to use SSBBinsert.
