embeding wad files Created 20 years ago2004-01-27 22:25:21 UTC by Dizzy Devil

Here is the situation. When adding custom maps to my HLDS server I ran arossed some maps that required the authors Texture wad to run the map. After contacting one author and reciving the texture wad to get it to run on the server. I notice that it is only one image file. Ok so here is my question.

Question: Is there a way to embed the texture wad into a already complied BSP map without decompiling it?

no, you have to have the RMF.

Well I gues I coud make a res file for it.

That should allow the wad file to upload to the player.

that would be a logical explenation, but why can't you just decompile it? its the makers fault for not putting the stupid i texture WAD in it!

its the makers fault for not putting the stupid i texture WAD in it!

That maybe true however I have always felt,

Decomplie another author's map = Very Bad, top the madness now

I have made a vow that I would not decompile someone elses map.

nice vow... how do u decompile?

Doesn't wadinclude incorporate custom textures into the bsp file? Serious question.

This was not suppose to be a decompile thread. Decompiling in VERY VERY frowned upon in the mapping comunity..

Yes wadinclude does embed the textures into the bsp when compiling from rmf to BSP. Was trying to see if it was possable to do it to a bsp file that was already compiled.

RES file looks like the best answer

and it doesn't involve you messing around with someone elses work

And plus, decompiling makes the map ugly and you get a error saying like "The map did not fully load cause insert number here brushes were invalid".

I've never done it, but why not just NOT USE THAT MAP?

if its your map.. then just recompile it again with the -wadinclude param.

and stop the decompiler ethics...

The ReS File did no work or I config it incorrectly.

The Wad files belong in the Valve folder...

The RES file just had the wad file listed...

somewad.wad

try

valve/somewad.wad

???????

how do you compile the wad into your bsp? Iworked for like three days this one map then everyone that plays it, it says couldn't open as_tundra, then chateau and on and on with all the wads?
I'l send anyone the map if they want it. rhyss_peices@hotmail.com.

Look at this tutorial.

hey thanks!
