HLBASICS.WAD

HLBASICS.WAD is found in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and Day of Defeat Day of Defeat, and is used to avoid needing to load HALFLIFE.WAD for maps that don't use base Half-Life 1 textures. [Clarify] Some of these are also in Condition Zero Deleted Scenes Condition Zero Deleted Scenes, via RITUAL_STANDARD.WAD, as well as in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, via CZRITUAL_STANDARD.WAD.

ZHLT.WAD

ZHLT.WAD is used for the additional features provided by the ZHLT and VHLT compilers. It does not come with any vanilla first-party GoldSrc title, but instead comes with ZHLT/VHLT.

Image Name Usage / Notes
HalflifeWad-AAATRIGGER.png AAATRIGGER Used for trigger brush entities.
ZHLTwad-BEVEL.png BEVEL
HalflifeWad-BLACK.png Black_HIDDEN Identical to NULL, but has a lightmap.
ZHLTwad-BOUNDINGBOX.png BOUNDINGBOX
HalflifeWad-CLIP.png CLIP See Clip texture
ZHLTwad-CLIPBEVEL.png CLIPBEVEL
ZHLTwad-CLIPBEVELBRUSH.png CLIPBEVELBRUSH
ZHLTwad-CLIPHULL1.png CLIPHULL1
ZHLTwad-CLIPHULL2.png CLIPHULL2
ZHLTwad-CLIPHULL3.png CLIPHULL3 Like CLIP, but only affects
ZHLTwad-CONTENTEMPTY.png CONTENTEMPTY
ZHLTwad-CONTENTWATER.png CONTENTWATER Not drawn in game, and inverts the normals of all other faces of the brush. Usually used to simulate volumetric lighting.
ZHLTwad-HINT.png HINT
ZHLTwad-NOCLIP.png NOCLIP Not drawn in game, and disables collision for all faces on the brush.
DOD hlbasics-NULL.png NULL Not drawn in game, seals leaks, and is skipped by HLRAD. Blocks visibility if used on all surfaces of the same brush. Optimally, every face that can't be seen during normal gameplay should have this texture.
Note.pngNote:While no lightmap data is generated on NULL faces, NULL brushes still cast shadows, unless tied to a func_wall.
Note.pngNote:Despite common misconception, it is not necessary to use NULL on faces that don't touch visleaves, as these are automatically removed by HLBSP. This means faces that are outside the map and faces that are flush with another one.
HalflifeWad-ORIGIN.png ORIGIN Treated as the origin point for rotating entities, such as func_door_rotating.
CZERO+DOD hlbasics-SKIP.png SKIP
HalflifeWad-SKY.png sky Used for displaying the skybox.
Warning.pngWarning:VHLT expects the sky tool texture to be lowercase and will not compile skies correctly if the tool texture does not fit these critera.
ZHLTwad-SOLIDHINT.png SOLIDHINT

Missing ZHLT tool textures

ZHLT supports some additional tool textures that aren't found in ZHLT.WAD or any official WAD file.

Image Name Usage / Notes
