Cannot open .PAA

[tambovskya]

So, I want to retexture some files in ArmA 2 OA. I unpack the .pbo, and I see the .paa files, but TexView2 CAN'T OPEN THE FILES. I've tried almost every single .paa file. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? Please help me!

Error Loading File: blah blah blah

uh huh, paa as a title dont say very much such you use a descriptive thread title, but textview2 is a piece of Shite, it dont work for me either.

What you do is get giimp2, then convert your pic to tga, and txv2 will convert that to paa, thats if i member correctly, but theres a thread around here about paa, search:

Sorry I have no time, Im working on my other mod as I check my threads here for questions.
Suggest you search that thread it will answer your questions about paa.

Try running Texview2 as administrator and see what happens. Barring that, open TexView2 and drag the texture file to the Texview2 workspace, then try to save it in the desired format.

I grabbed Gimp 2
and it doesn't recognize the paa file
texview 2 wont resave the file as anything other then paa

what am I missing here
~S~

Of course Gimp doesn't recognize paa because it's a file format just used in this little corner of the world.

TexView2 does save in other formats if you add the extension. E.g. to save a myfile.paa file as .tga you open it in TexView first. Then File->Save as : myfile.tga

[Bobcat26]

So manually change the File extension to get the program to recognize the file ....
well thats a handy little piece of info

Thanks WOlle

You can export files from texview.

File -> Save As

Once there select "All files" as the file type and rename the extension to .png or something, which is what W0lle was trying to say.
