Is there a way to Unpack a WAD File? Created 14 years ago2010-01-10 22:59:00 UTC by Suparsonik

Not talking about WAD3. I'm talking about the original WAD file. I'd like to use some awesome DOOM textures in my game.

or should I say, map.

why not.. just copy and paste.. by opening both an original wad file.. then making a wad3 file (new)

and copy
then paste.

But, don't I have to use some program to do that?

Wally doesn't support it.

Doom wads? Oh man, I don't think this is the right place to ask that. As far as I know, none of us know the first thing about modding Doom.

i thought wally did.. ok.. try it this way..

open the original wad file..

then.. go to the top selection..

and click 'export image' or something close to it.. around there around the top bar

and save the image to your desktop as a .bmp or .jpg..

THEN.. reopen the image as a half-life image file

copy, and paste that into a 'new' halflife wad

see if that doesnt work

(but i dont use the new wally, i personally dont like it.. if you find a means of downloading an older version.. i know it has support for exactly what your trying to do)

which version of wally should i get?

the application I installed (and i have it on disc somewhere)

is called..

wally136b.zip

you can open a wad file for doom and straight drag and drop it into a wad file for half-life (assuming it meets size restrictions)

otherwise, you'll have to do it the otehr way i mentioned, with converting it to the correct sizes somewhere in between

Wally on the site only goes down to 1.43

Nope, I have v 1.55.

Just google for a doom wad editor?

Haven't tried this one, but it may work: http://www.doomworld.com/xwe/
