I was looking at the wadfathers site.. I see his stuff is still in halflife wad format.. how would you use these wad files with the new tools? Are they still compatable?

Not sure tbh, my suspicions would be that a lot would be too low sampling, but then on that i'm also not sure. aaron_da_killa has moved textures between Source and Goldsource, he might be able to give you a little pointer on how it could be done.

hehe, thanks gwil :)

Its quite easy to format textures between source and goldsource.

To convert from goldsource to source:

1) Download Wally
2) Open the WAD in Wally and export the textures as bmp files
3) You can open the bmp and save it as a vtf with vtfedit or download the photoshop vtf plugin
5) Write a vmt file and your sweet.
