 Re: Error kylefloors.wad not found

Basicly this is whats happening, I gots some pics off of the internet. Those pics are 512 X 512 so the whole divisible by 16 thing should be outta the question. I made them into a .wad and placed it in my Sierra/Half-Life/Valve folder. I started up hammer and added them to the textures. Then I compiled. The compile was flawless. After the compile and when Hal-Life was actually running it gave me this error: error kylefloors.wad not found. Whats goin on? [addsig]

you forgot to wadinclude?

you used to long a file name?

you compiled, but didn't actually use any of the textures?

you imagined the error message, and are now in fact fragging away.

you did put your new wad in the half-life/valve folder, didn't you? or if it's for a mod, then maybe in the mod folder?

if not, then now would be a good time.

First of all 512x512 textures are too large for HL... Try -nowadtextures in csg(or -wadinclude kylefloors.wad). If that helps then some of the paths are screwed.

It doesn't have to be in the CS folder, but it will work in it, or the valve folder... Make sure to check that you didn't accidentally move the file, leave wally open on it, or rename it.

Did the error say 'cannot find /valve/kylefloors.wad'?

Are you running CS through steam of through the compiler? Steam might screw it up, like it does everything. [addsig]

Well I just make the textures smaller when I'm in hammer. Now what is -wadinclude?

-wadinclude wadname

Use this in the parameters (For $csg_exe if you use expert compile mode, and just in the text box if you use normal compile mode.) to include all the used textures from that wad. Very useful for custom textures on multiplayer games since you can just distribute the bsp alone.

Resizing textures in Hammer means northing, they have to be resized smaller in Wally

Copy and paste the texture into mspaint, save as a bmp, open it up in your image viewing software (Like ACDSee or Irfanview), resize it to 256x256, then copy it back into wally. [addsig]

fiz, you are promoting hammer as a compiling process, that is frowned upon by a large percentage of the pit..

my link however leads to 3 snarkpit tuts.. only one of which is a hammer compiler.. so he can chose i suppose..

still you shouldn't link him to a hammer compiler

/ 2 cents

I heard that 512x512 is (strangely) to large -- yet for some Godly unkown reason, Half-Life will accept a texture with some dimensions like 1024x256

Also- scaling the texture down in hammer won't fix the problem. You have to go back into walley and adjust the size of it (to 256x256 or less).

happens all the time, as i included it in my suggestion of "to long a file name" but it was only in jest, cause, i know he is using ZHTL and in this instance it cannot find the wad, not a certain texture..

This was answered many posts ago in this thread. The wad. HAS TO BE included in the CS folder. When you play the game it will precache those textures into your map. Or you could use a batch compiler and just compile it with wad_include and it will include the textures into the BSP. Like I said this has already been answered so If I am right give someone else the credit.

it has been suggested multiple times spartan, we won't be sure its answered, till snarksephiroth says it is..

but on a personal note, i am so glad you sacrificed your chance to make a few snarkpoints for the greater good of all those posting before you

Well I have to hand it to Spartan, he was the guy with the right answer. But I took everyone elses suggestions and tips. O and thanks Orph for the cool new compiling program that I wish I had when I first started out. Thanks a bunch guys. [addsig]
