This how to guide shows you how to convert ArmA 2 PAA texture files into TGA format in a directory.

You need to have ArmA 2 bis tools installed, specifically pal2pace.exe and in our example .bat file its assumed to be in PATH, otherwise you need to include path to it.

**convert_paa_to_tga.bat**:
<code dos>
@echo off
md temp
FOR /F "tokens=1* delims=. " %%A in ('dir /b *.paa') do (
Pal2PacE %%A.paa temp\%%A.tga
)
move temp\*.tga .
rd temp
pause
exit
