Wally is a texture and WAD manager that allows users to add, edit, and delete textures from existing WADs. This program is also capable of merging textures with equivalent formats and supports various texture formats for distribution with maps and importing into level editors.

Features

  • Texture Format Support: Wally supports many different texture formats, including Quake and Quake II textures, JPG, PNG, TGA, BMP, and PCX formats. Additionally, it can rip textures from PAK files and export them as loose files.
  • Image Editing: Wally functions as an image editor that enables users to adjust brightness, contrast, noise levels, blurring, and resizing. It also allows users to draw on textures using an airbrush.
  • Compatibility Issues: Wally may have trouble with 32-bit alpha channel TGAs and PNGs. The recommended solution is to use a tool like IrfanView to strip the files of their alpha channels.
Tip.pngTip:IrfanView is capable of much more accurate conversion to 8-bit than Wally (comparison)
