texview cant read .paa from characters2.pbo

i wanted to make an alternative texture for a model.

i use kegetys' cpbo to open characters2.pbo

When i try to open any of the paa files with texview, it says Error loading file

and i cant open or convert it.

i tried all files in that directory and all gave the same error.

(characters2\civil\functionary\data\*.paa)

I never had such problems with arma1, and have no clue how to solve this.

Do you use the same texview version as in ArmA 1? ArmA 2 needs TexView2 to display textures.

i just found out that i needed paadecompressor

it generates .paa files that texview2 can read.

as myke said texview from the arma 1 tools wont open compressed paa from a2
