What If I Use Wads From Half Life.

Asterisk

<div class="IPBDescription">NS needs HL. so people should have it</div> i would like to use some textures from HL. but i don't know if it will run ok or not. will i need to make a seperate wad or will it work regularly. also how many wad files is it safe to use in a map.

you can use regular halflife textures with no problem, they're included in Steam, as well as old school WON versions.

You can include as many WADs ad you would like, but the safe maximum is 8, and we dont recommend more than that as the compiler will throw a fit sometimes.

besides, you using more than 8, you should break down the textures you are using from each, and make a new single wad to get past that.

alright where is the Wad File in steam. i used my old won HL wad file. they work fine in hammer. but when i load the map to see ingame. there is just a checker board pattern on everything.

ShenTraX

the wad file for steam is buried in the huge compressed file. Its not just lying around, you'd have to extract it.

But the one you are using should be fine, if you have the origional halflife.wad file.

The checker-board thing is puzzling.

are you loading the map using steam or the old hl.exe?

the cheker board was cause by me not useing the makewad program after adding the HL.wad
