GCFScape and Texture.wad

[Gort]

Greetings all:

I'm an old Worldcraft bizatch looking to get into some HL2 DM mapping, and I'm running into problems finding the actual texture.wad file. Now before you go slingin' a toilet at me, I've searched the forums and pulled down GCFScape, so I can see the compressed files; however, I cannot locate a .wad file in any of the directories and compressed files therein.

Can anyone assist me on this? I'd also like to recommend that someone put out a video tutorial devoted to setting Hammer up.

Ok, sling your toilets . . .

Do more searching and you will find that hl2 does not use .wad files.

There are lots of tuts on pulling textures out of a .wad if thats your goal also.

Well that's good to know, since every document I've stumbled across on configuration refers to the .wad file . . . back to the search engine and thanks

Every document you've stumbled across has been for goldsrc mapping.

Hammer comes all configured for mapping for hl2, dm and css as long as you have the corresponding game installed to the point where you can play it.
