cant find halflife.wad

[thechosenone92]

can someone please help iv searched all of my computer using ctrl+c and i cant find my halflife.wad.

If I remember correctly, that package comes with the old Half-Life install (e.g. install from your original Half-Life disk, and it'll be under C:\Sierra\Half-Life\ and in pak0.pak I think).

It's probably stored somewhere in the Steam .gcf files, and there's tools to explore them just like .pak files. However, I wouldn't even recommend you use halflife.wad, especially not for ESF mapping. They're mostly small resolution, indoor lab environment textures.

i need it for the sky. may place i can download sky .WAD or .PAK?

Half-Life comes with a .wad file called halflife.wad which you can find in the directory of where you installed Half-Life.

 

[thechosenone92]

thats the whole thing i cant find that .wad.

 

[MC]

Have you tried exploring the disk?

 

[thechosenone92]

yep. not there.

 

[MC]

If you have Half-Life installed on Steam, then the halflife.wad file is stored within a .GFC file.

You can either install Half-Life outside of Steam, or you can do this:

The sky texture is included in esf.wad too, which you can find in the esf folder.

Are you sure raven? I've never seen it when exploring my esf.wad? Oh well, that's fine, but sometimes I use my hl.wad, because there are some interesting textres in there for walls, etc. And plus I can't make tetures myself, takes a whole day just to make a crack in a wall or smoething, lol.

 

[Ravendust]

Oh whoops, my bad, I had the sky texture and null texture as part of zhlt.wad, which is the only other .wad I use currently.

 

[donnierisk]

Oh, kk, lol, I was wondering, but thechosenone92, are you planning on making a map or something?

off-topic:Oh and raven, I never knew you mapped, have you had a public release before?

 

[Grega]

The NULL texture in in ESF.wad >.>

The sky texture can is in MY esf.wad also ^^

Note i said MY cause i had to put it in there. DJ said that the sky testure aint important enough to be put in there >.>

 

[donnierisk]

Lol, oh well, than I'm gonnaadd it to mine too! ^^
Do I just use wally and then merge it, right? just making sure...

 

[thechosenone92]

yes i'm going to make a map but when i made a test map i cant start it

 

[Grega]

Well whats the probelm?

@Donnierisk Dont need to. Just make a blue colored texture (or aney other color you like) and name it sky ^^

Thats all to it.

 

[thechosenone92]

i have it in my esf/maps folder and i select it on the map's list but it just doesn't start just goes back to the main screen

 

[Grega]

Click on settings. On the screen that shows up click advanced.

Now find 24-bit textures. That has to be disabled. Than it should work.
