Note:
This page is a list of all the WADs that the latest vanilla installations of 
GoldSrc games are able to read from, without moving files around. This should slightly simplify the process of setting up 
Hammer Editor or 
J.A.C.K. for any particular given game. Note that this page only lists WADs that are useful for mapping, so CACHED.WAD, FONTS.WAD, GFX.WAD, SPRAYPAINT.WAD, TEMPDECAL.WAD, and other similar WADs are not listed.
