Compressing/Decompressing .paa files in Windows 8 / Photoshop CS6

[nerkaid 1]

Hi all!

I was trying with TextView 2 runing as Win XP SP3 compatibility mode and with the PAAPlugin for Photoshop, but anything works :(

Any idea? Thanks in advance and regards!

EDIT: I think PAATool it's now working fine, but I'm converting a transparent .png file to "point" - "none sharpen effects" Destination format: Autodetect.

And when I runing this:

separator1 = parseText "<br />------------------------<br />";

imagen = "\rsc\separator.paa";

txt = composeText [image imagen,"Heading Text",separator1,"Content"];

hint txt;

A message appear: "/rsc/separator.paa not found".

But the file is on my mission folder and the path it's right :(

do not use the paa plugin. use texview or o2 for conversion

As pufu said, using texview or O2 is the best method. You can save .paa's as TGA in texview by adding the .tga suffix without any issue as far as I know. Then it'd be the simple case of opening it in Photoshop as a targa rather than paa.

Yes, you may think the PAA plugin is working, but rest assured it #$%#%$ your textures in game, in ways that go unnoticed for a while.

See plenty of posts/cases in these forums.
