Bashe Posted July 17, 2004 Yeah, even the weirdest games. I have "Nicktoons Racing" and some files end in .wad. Talk about crazy! 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted July 17, 2004 Yeah, there's a couple of other games where the data-file is called .wad Most notably Rise of the Triad. This doesn't mean it's the same filetype though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted July 17, 2004 Doesn't Half-Life use .wad files for textures? 0 Share this post Link to post
Mogul Posted July 17, 2004 There's something in Quake I think, that uses them. 0 Share this post Link to post
boris Posted July 17, 2004 The file extension does not have anything to do with its content. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted July 18, 2004 Yeah, .wad is actually quite a common file extension, but that doesn't mean it is the same format as Doom .wad files, therefore, they will not open with .wad editing utilities. .wad = Where's All the Data, just so you learn something new today :-P 0 Share this post Link to post
insertwackynamehere Posted July 18, 2004 I'm half hoping Doom3 will use .wad or wd3 for nostalgic purposes :P 0 Share this post Link to post
