Purge the base

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 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.

Note:The file paths on this page use extended DOS format, which is case-insensitive and traditionally presented in all caps. GoldSrc does case insensitive WAD file name matching, regardless of platform, so this format is used for visual clarity.
