Func_Msgboard: Definitive WAD Collection

Posted by Blitz on 2004/01/07 15:38:37

I had an idea that since alot of the older Quake sites are now shutdown, those of us who have older .wad files should round them up and put them on like a sort of directory for everyone to access.

The thought occurred after someone was looking for a snowy .wad, but I realized that it got somehow deleted. There are also a number of other .wads that I lost but couldn't find by Googling them or other means.

So -- anyone who has a large collection of .wads that can't be found elsewhere, and is willing to upload them somewhere (I have 15MB of webspace, I know it's not much but...) let us know in this thread. Thanks.

i checked quaddicted (htic2.wad) and they are in there! i didn't know that :)

but it feels like a lot are missing, maybe its because they looked crappy on the quake palette?

cool to see them there though :)

Five internets dollars that they don't actually return to read Ricky's reply...

(sigh)

I emailed him with a link to these posts!

:P

Hmm

#145 posted by nonentity on 2009/01/28 11:06:16

Therefore they won't return (+1 Ricky for disposing of the noob), meaning you all owe me 5 internets dollars...

Addition

gb sent me Hexen textures: http://www.quaddicted.com/wads/hexentex.zip

Ooh Nice

#147 posted by Zwiffle on 2009/06/29 21:27:20

Love Hexen textures.

#148 posted by gb on 2009/06/29 22:07:45

no idea if they are complete. couldn't really find more. :)

Should contain expansion stuff, too. If that actually had extra texes.

I wish qwadickhead (lame) would keep hlwad versions of all its wads because I can never figure out how to convert mine.

its seriously making me consider moving back to wc1.6. or learning a new editor (lame).

Which Wads Are You After Now Dru?

#150 posted by RickyT33 on 2009/06/30 10:24:13

I'll convert 'em for you :)

I extracted stuff from the Quake: Arcade Tournament Edition. http://www.quaddicted.com/quake-nostalgia/quake-arcade-tournament-edition/ (followup post coming some day)

Asaki managed to fix an included texture wad. Behold new old original textures straight from id (it seems).

Thanks Jago, I think I took a look when you posted them and added missing ones (if). Not really sure though. :o)

Cool!

Thx Spirit!

Baker made a Quake wad (HL too) from the GPL Nexuiz textures: http://www.quake-1.com/files/developer/nexuiz_quake_and_halflife_wads.zip

Note

#157 posted by Baker on 2009/11/13 19:10:51

The HL WAD version of it is seriously a Half-Life WAD3 that isn't using the Quake palette.

Note To The Note

#158 posted by Baker on 2009/11/13 19:19:40

The reason the HL WAD3 doesn't use the Quake palette is because WAD3 has independent palette per texture.

The cool and bizarre side effect:

You can map using the WAD3 nexuiz.wad in Worldcraft 3.3 and then compile with the nexuiz.wad WAD2 for Quake. Or even just compile with the WAD3 using HL map compile tools and then use a Quake engine with HL map support (DP, Qrack, ezQuake, FTE, FuhQuake, ProQuake, Telejano, etc.).

I made a WAD from Sock's new medieval textures:
http://www.quaddicted.com/wads/tp-medieval-q1.zip

See the readme on how to use it with the original high resolution textures.

I am not sure if they should be resized (to one half?)?

Yes, By 50%

Thanks

#161 posted by Spirit on 2010/03/07 15:49:02

fixed, file updated

My Personal Preference

#162 posted by grahf on 2010/03/09 05:03:03

would be for two wads, one 50% and the other 100%. Then append a suffix to all the files of one wad, _h or _f (half or full, whichever you choose).

Well, that's what I do with textures I convert to wad myself anyways. I'll do it myself if I'm ever that bothered about it. Sometimes, ridiculously oversized 256*256 brick textures are just the thing for huge cyclopean architecture.
