	If you have the game data unpacked you simply follow that path and find the paa file. If not it will be a bit more tricky. Most of the game's data is located in the Addons folder in your game directory. But with the release of [[:Category:Arma 3: DLCs %26 Expansions\|DLCs]] the content is way more split up. In the case of our example it is part of the Laws Of War DLC but in the game files it is called "Orange". So if we go into {{hl\|Arma 3\Orange\Addons}} directory we can find the {{hl\|structures_f_orange.pbo}}.

	If you want to retexture an asset with the [[setObjectTexture]] command it is necessary to work with the original texture. As an example we will be using the [[Arma_3:_CfgVehicles_EMPTY\|Wall Sign]] ({{hl\|Land_WallSign_01_F}}). Contrary to other signs, such as the advertisment signs ({{hl\|SignAd_...}}), a texture with the usual dimensions (2<sup>x</sup> * 2<sup>y</sup>, eg. 256x256, 512x512, ...) will display the image wrong. This is because the texture also contains the texture for the back and sides of the board, not only the "content". With the following steps you can correctly retexture such assets.

	If you want to retexture an asset with the [[setObjectTexture]] command it is necessary to work with the original texture. As an example we will be using the [[Arma_3:_CfgVehicles_EMPTY\|Wall Sign]] ({{ic\|Land_WallSign_01_F}}). Contrary to other signs, such as the advertisment signs ({{ic\|SignAd_...}}), a texture with the usual dimensions (w<sup>2</sup> * h<sup>2</sup>, eg. 256x256, ~~512x1024~~, ...) will display the image wrong. This is because the texture also contains the texture for the back and sides of the board, not only the "content". With the following steps you can correctly retexture such assets.
