<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>PAA Format:</span>

-PAA textures with transparecny for all objects. Use them only if you really want half transaprency,eg glass.

-PAA format is good for BLACK/WHITE(desaturated) textures,BIS use them in resistance on weapons,after converting textures stay only in black/white colors.

-As you see on pic,PAA black/white texture looks better then PAC:

How to do it?

Save black/white texture in TGA,then desaturate it in Photoshop (ctrl+shift+u) a then convert to PAA,done.

-As you can see on this pic,using PAA textures is not always the best way...

For this is better use PAC textures.

<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>PAC Format:</span>

-Use it all the time ;)

-PAC support more colors then PAA

-Creating PAC with transparency-(using GIF format)-Good for trees,bushes etc...

Fill the Invisible space on texture,use color 255 0 255 (R-G-B).
