.wad files Created 20 years ago2004-09-16 20:17:26 UTC by paulkennedy

I took some pictures of my high school and put them into a .wad file and I put it in a folder called C:SierraHalf-Lifenhs (narraguagus high school). Whenever I tried to run the map it kept giving me the error message 'could not find valvenhs.wad'. I tried setting the game options in hammer to game directory: nhs and mod directory: nhs, both, and seperatly. I copied the wad file into the valve directory and it works now, but how do I make it so that it will read the wad file in the nhs directory? Thanks.

Game directory always needs to be valve for any HL-based mod.

It should look for the wadfiles in a mod directory. Try closing Hammer, putting the wad file in nhs, then loading it into Hammer and trying again. Or, use the -wadinclude switch on hlcsg and embed the wad file into the BSP file.
