Addonmakers: New texture conversion tool

This news concerns only addonmakers; feersum.endjinn released in official forum a new texture convertion tool: PAATool, which allows a better image quality of .PAC files compared to Texview generated ones, and keeping the same file size!

Current version reads 32 bpp TGA files (RLE compressed files are supported). This small […] tool uses NVidia’s DXT texture compression library, which gives superior quality compared to Texview while files are still same size.

You can compare a texview converted texture with a PAATool converted texture. For more info check the official forum thread.

You can download this tool directly here (move .dll files in your %windir%\system32 directory)

A broken download, a missing picture, an article that reads wrong. Also a file the archive does not have and you do, or an idea for what it should hold next.
