What is a .MIPMAPS file?
A .MIPMAPS file is a type of file used in Codemasters F1 racing video games, like F1 2016 and F1 2018. This file contains textures, which are like digital skins or covers, that make game elements such as cars, driver uniforms, and helmets look realistic. The "mipmap" in the name refers to the file storing several versions of each texture at different sizes. This helps the game look better and run smoother because it can choose the right size texture to use depending on how close or far an object is in the game. For example, a texture for a car far away will be a smaller, less detailed version than the texture for a car that's up close.
These .MIPMAPS files are usually found inside .ERP files, which are like big containers or archives used by the game to organize and store different game data files.
To open or modify .MIPMAPS files, you would typically use the game itself, like Codemasters F1 2016 or F1 2018. However, these files are generally not meant to be opened by average users. They are more for developers or advanced users who are interested in modifying the game, such as changing how a car looks. These users might explore the game's files to find and alter these textures to customize the game's appearance.
