====== PAADecompressor ======

**PAADecompressor** by T_D

This little tool is for people that can't or don't want to use [[arma2:tools:paaplugin|PAA Plugin]] for Photoshop by Kegetys to view and edit ArmA 2 textures. It decompresses the textures back to the [[arma:tools:texview2|TexView2]] readable format.

For v1.2 PAACompressor.exe was added to produce compressed textures, which can be used in ArmA2 but use lesser diskspace.


====== Usage ======

PAADecompressor.exe [source [destination]]

If no parameters are given a dialog appears where you can choose the file that should be decompressed. Decompressed files are ending with "_decompressed.paa" if destination name wasn't specified.

PAACompressor.exe is used the same way.

**Shell extension**

This package contains a PAAD.reg file that register the tool for your registry, so that you can quickly decompress paa files by RMB clicking on them. You just have to edit the path in it.

PAAC.reg for adding PAACompressor to shell.

FIXED: some uncompressed textures couldn't be read by TexView2

</code>
