Was wondering if its possible/ suggestion if not.

[aiden.dunkley94]

Ive been using many programs for awhile and landed on AD2 over 5months now i think and have been loving it so far.

but ive hit a snag recently i friend asked me about doing .paa file and couldn't for life of me find any info on "plug-in" or somewhere of coverting .paa to allow AD2 to use it.

Idk if anyone has ideas if its possible?

so ive come to make a suggestion to see if its possible to allow .paa over bit like PDF

Sorry if this isnt the format on here this my first post ever on here so was not to sure how to properly "set this up"

Hi @aiden.dunkley94, welcome to the forums!

You posted this in the right place and it is formatted just fine.  However, it may have been helpful to spell out more clearly exactly what a .paa file is.  Never having heard of this before, I did a quick Google search and the earliest references I see are to it being what looks to be some kind of web application distribution format, in addition to which I see some kind of family tree (genealogy) format, some kind of obscure application auditing format, and various other things.

The most relevant hit I am finding appears to be a format designed for use in holding textures for some obscure game engine or another (https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma:file_formats:paa); is this what you have in mind?

kind of yes, as friend of mine wanting somthing done and sent me raw .paa's and was thinking/ throwing it out there to see if it was common thing or just more "unique" issue

and sorry i didnt put more details in i was kind of in a 15 hour stint of "editing" and started looking at these files was getting annoyed little and did some research after and found theres also "game" tool for it that has built in converter aswell that allows .paa into Png. 

 

appreciate you and Circulus for the help/info.
