RE: Tgatool2

All TGAtool will do is allow you to extract TGA's from an ACE, or convert TGA's to an ACE.
Once you have the TGA extracted, you need an image editing program (such as Paint Shop Por or Photoshop, or whatever) to edit the TGA files. Once you're done editing, se TGAtool to convert the TGA back to an ACE.Thats the short of it...

RE: Tgatool2

If you do the editing from within TgaTool2 (by sending the image to your editor) then you can do the painting with something as simple (and free) as MSPaint.
You can also use it to add or edit Alpha channels without the requirement of a paint program that supports Alpha. Again MSPaint can be used as the bare minimum.
