- ** INTRODUCTION - IMPORTANT **
- This program extracts the textures used by Quake's levels and places them
- in the WAD2 format, which can then be used in editors.
-
- Please note that the textures extracted by this program cannot be sold
- or used for commercial gain, as they REMAIN PROPERTY OF ID SOFTWARE.
-
- The resulting WAD2 file could be used for the development of level editors,
- however under the Quake license it is FORBIDDEN TO DISTRIBUTE OR USE 3RD
- PARTY LEVELS WITH THE SHAREWARE VERSION.
-
- The author disclaims all responsibility for this program. You are using it
- at your own risk.
-
-
- ** INSTRUCTIONS **
- To get MK_WAD2 to work, unzip the ZIP file into your \QUAKE\ID1 directory,
- then simply type: mkwad2
-
- You can delete MKWAD2.EXE AND SWUNPACK.EXE afterwards, if you wish.
-
- The program will extract the levels out of your PAK file if nessesary,
- and then build a WAD2 file called "QUAKETEX.WAD" based on the results. It
- will take around 30 seconds or so.
-
- ** WHAT DOES THE WAD FILE CONTAIN **
- The WAD file is in "WAD2" format and contains first a PALETTE (@) lump with
- the Quake Shareware Palette, followed by MIP (D) lumps for each texture
- found.
-
- ** KNOWN BUGS **
- 1. If the same texture is used more than once in the whole game, it is
- included more than once. This will be fixed in version 1.1 soon!
- 2. In the second level, a very strange and very large texture is extraced
- that shouldn't really be there. It won't effect the overall product,
- however.
- 3. I haven't tested it with QBSP, although I've looked at the code. I have
- only tested with my own little extractor..
-
- ** CONTACT INFORMATION - BUGS & SUGGESTIONS **
- I can be contacted at stokfam@mail.psinet.net.au
- I am currently working on a program called "Quake Desktop" that incorporates
- features such as these in a user friendly desktop environment. Please
- visit http://www.psinet.net.au/~stokfam/qdesk for more information.
