insertwackynamehere Posted June 19, 2003 and some of the files are .wad files! WTF? I had no idea there were still games with wad files! Can someone explain this, since I thought only Hexen, Hexen II, Heretic, Strife, Doom, Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Doom II Master Levels, and Final Doom used wad files. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted June 19, 2003 Those wad files are where the textures (and only the textures) are stored. The maps are .bsp files like in Quake and Quake 2, and they are contained in a type of compression file called .pak files. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted June 19, 2003 I had no idea there were still games with wad files!"Still", you say, about a five years old game. 0 Share this post Link to post
insertwackynamehere Posted June 19, 2003 I meant still as in a non-id/Raven game, that is relativley newer than most of the games I mentioned. 0 Share this post Link to post

Linguica Posted June 19, 2003 Who gives a crap if it's a WAD file, it's not like the extention dot-w-a-d is reserved for Doom games only. 0 Share this post Link to post
insertwackynamehere Posted June 19, 2003 It was created for Doom, however, and you can edit it with some Doom editors possibly. 0 Share this post Link to post

If you want an even better single player experience, though, try the Blue Shift add-on. It's very short, but it's easily the most fun of three (the other two being HL and Op Force). Plus it comes with the hi-res models. 0 Share this post Link to post

Torn Posted June 20, 2003 Half life is funny to map for. Imo, it is also one of the best fps ever made. Of couse it never beat doom for me. But I have complete half life like 7times, it says something about how good it is. :P Btw, the wad files is just textures, iirc. 0 Share this post Link to post
