Converting .pac or .paa to png

[prototype1479 63]

Is there a way to convert a mass amount of .pac or .paa to png? Or even do the opposite?

[RoF 239]

@echo off
MD temp
FOR /F "tokens=1* delims=. " %%A in ('dir /b *.paa') do (
"D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Tools\TexView2\Pal2PacE" %%A.paa temp\%%A.png
 if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto err
)
rem move stuff to current dir and clean out temp dir.
move temp\*.png .
rd temp
pause

Can't find the pmc page, but that's what I have saved in a .bat file. Change the file path to yours

Can you tell me how to use this? And what if I wanted to convert .PNG to .PAC or .PAA then what do I change here?

Open notepad, copy code into it, save as a .bat file instead of .txt. Then put the file in the folder with the images you want to convert.

 

For png > paa etc, just change those extensions in the code

Thanks it worked but what about the ones that didn't get converted and got an error?

What files is that?

I can't think of any arma files that have spaces or extra dots... This from some mod? As it looks like they don't know what they are doing

Just open the .paa in TexView 2, and Save As PNG.

I need one that mass converts it - like 2000 of them at once automatically.

 

Doing it 1 by 1 is just repetitive and uncreative work which I should be spending my time on a creative work.

Yeah well... is there any other code that converts the ones with spaces and extra dots?

I thiiink, ImageToPaa/pac2pal can also be used to convert paa to png on command line. Never tried that though.
