A closer look at the map files in the Map 2 directory shows a whole bunch of .RL files: there are 9 sets of files numbered from 0000 to 0008, and within each set there are 17 files.

I'm assuming that each set corresponds to the different magnification settings for the navigation map. And my guess is that within each file there is a RAW or TGA file that shows the actual map area seen on the in-game navigation map.

Question is: is there a way to open these .RL files and actually see if there is such a TGA, and if so to extract and edit it?

RL is a file type I'm not familiar with, and a utility like Timetraveller's SH3 Unpacker won't work, as they are not .DAT files.

A search on the web hasn't yielded any results: Windows XP site doesn't recognise the file extension and I haven't found anything that works with this type of file.

Any of the mod gurus out there have any ideas?
