The set includes 4 templates: Uniform, Vest, Helmet & Misc. If you are doing work on editing infantry, there is a set of handy BLUFOR infantry PSD templates [(205mB) made by Topas to make the entire process much easier. At least, that is my experience and you can confirm it by checking them out using the link to my WIP thread above. Personally, that’s what I use since you can be somewhat rough with it and your skins will still show up fine in-game. A great alternative for quick edits is the Polygonal Lasso Tool. The best looking retextures are probably produced using the pen tool, but that’s a bit too advanced for beginners. It's a hassle, but necessary if the PAA plugin is not an option for you. Save it and now you have a proper TGA file. To do this, open the PAA in TexView, go to File>Save As, name the file what you want, but change the ".paa" to ".tga" and then change the file type to "All Files". Note: If the PAA plugin does not work, then convert the PAA to a TGA in TexView 2 and then open that in the editing program. We are, afterall, doctoring the textures to our liking, heh. Soon you will be performing surgical actions, so you can call yourself a doctor for the next few steps.

So now you have the base skin open in your program like you’re a surgeon and it’s your patient with its chest cavity exposed. This helps speed up rendering of the texture at range. Mip maps are used for displaying textures at various ranges so that the full-res version doesn’t need to be used all the time. I personally use Photoshop CS5 along with \ folder. You'll also need an image editor that supports opening PAA files. If you don't do this, then the program won't be able to extract files from the PBOs.

Extract only the DePbo.dll file from the 2nd download into the folder where the Eliteness files are. After downloading both of those, use WinRar or 7zip to extract the files in the Eliteness download to a folder anywhere on your computer. Call it whatever you want and then exit the game.Ĭurrently the way I extract the textures (well, all the files) is by using a program called Eliteness (177kB) to extract the files from the PBO file using Mikeo's DePBO (582kB) and DeOgg (499kB) files. Run Arma 3’s editor and create a new blank mission.

That pbo will get installed like any mod you download from online. Use BinPBO to pack the data into a pbo file.

Copy the textures to my addon build folder and edit the config to allow it to be available in the editor.ĩ. Test that the texture actually works by placing the item in the editor and using setObjectTexture script command.Ĩ. Export the final texture design as a TGA file, open it in TexView2, and save it as a PAA file.ħ. Import a downloaded texture or custom texture and use overlaying techniques to fit it over the original skin.Ħ.

Access the texture file that you want and open it in your image editor of choice.ĥ. Use Eliteness to extract files from the pbo of choice.Ĥ.

Install BI Tools, Eliteness, the DePBO.Dll, and PAA plug-in for image editor.ģ. Don't worry if you don't understand the terms in the following list, it'll be explained after.Ģ. I'll outline my actions briefly and then run through the procedure from start to finish unlike most other guides. It is essential to almost all modding that you have this available. Note: The Arma2Work folder will be put in a virtual hard drive called P:\ in My Computer. Texturing is often the gateway to more advanced mod creation and while you may not think you'll get into that now, something might change your mind later and you'll be glad to already have the tools installed. Install everything included there even if you don't think you'll be using certain tools. Right from the start you'll need Bohemia Interactive's official mod tools (40mB).
