-[[WAD]] is the file extension for Half-Life 1 texture packages.  An acronym for ''Where's All the Data?'', [[WAD]] files first originated in ID Software's Doom as a general purpose file archive to help facilitate [[Modification | game MODs]].  A format of the same name was later used in ID Software's Quake engine as a texture package, then consequentially adapted by Half-Life 1's [[GoldSrc]] engine.  [[GoldSrc]] specifically uses version 3 of the format, sometimes referred to as WAD3. [[WAD]] files typically contain standard texture sets, custom texture sets for individual levels, sprays, HUD elements and fonts.

-WAD3 can store 3 types of data (however, WAD format itself allows up 256 types, but GoldSrc uses only 3):
-;miptex
-:Power-of-16-sized world textures with 4 mipmaps.
-;qpic
-:Simple image with any size. Format:
- int width;
- int height;</code
- char[height][width] *data; //Image is stored as 8-bit numbers of colors in palette
- short colors_used; //Number of colors in palette (can't be more than 256)
- char[numcolors][3] *lbmpalette; //8-bit RGB palette data
-;font
-:Fixed-height font. Contains an image and font data (row, X offset and width of a character).
-All numbers in WAD files are unsigned and little-endian.
