 ====== Pal2PacE ======
-The official BIS tool Pal2PacE is a command line tool for texture conversion. The conversion engine is itentical to TexView 2. See [[arma:texture_naming_rules|ArmA Texture Naming Rules]] for more information about the conversion process.
+The official BIS tool Pal2PacE is a command line tool for texture conversion. The conversion engine is identical to [[arma:tools:texview2|TexView 2]]. See [[arma:texturing:texture_naming_rules|ArmA Texture Naming Rules]] for more information about the conversion process.
+Buldozer comes with pal2pace.exe and pal2pac.dll.
+The call is like this:
+<code>
+pal2pace -combine 4.tga 3.tga 2.tga 1.tga 1234.pac
+</code>
+(only tga -> pac possible as far as I know)
+So for example - texture name:
+<code>
+e1f2g4a2
+= a2 (top right)
+= g4 (top left)
+= f2 (down right)
+= e1 (down left)
+
+
+pal2pace -combine a2.tga g4.tga f2.tga e1.tga e1f2g4a2.pac
+</code>
+This is a 4 texture transition. so for a half half texture 2 two its like this:
+<code>
+pal2pace -combine g4.tga g4.tga e1.tga e1.tga e1e1g4g4.pac
+</code>
+You are best to work with some text editor capable of handling regular expressions, like EditPadPro.
+Search text:
+<code>
+([a-z0-9][a-z0-9])([a-z0-9][a-z0-9])([a-z0-9][a-z0-9])([a-z0-9][a-z0-9])
+</code>
+Replacement text:
+<code>
+D:\pal2pace\pal2pace -combine \4.tga \3.tga \2.tga \1.tga \1\2\3\4.pac
+</code>
+It looks for a string of two characters or numbers each and makes the output command for it.
