+ | //WAD// files are the original format that [[games:Doom]] used to store data files (such as sound, [[modding:graphic patch|graphic patches]], [[modding:texture]]s, palettes and level information). | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are two types of WAD files: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **IWAD** is a complete set of game data (such as //DOOM2.WAD//). | ||
+ | * **PWAD** (patch WAD) contains a subset of resources, e.g., a single level. These are meant to be loaded in addition to an IWAD. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Where can I get DOOM2.WAD or other official IWADs? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | From the original game retail disks, CDs and electronic download retail products (from [[http://store.steampowered.com|Steam]], [[http://gog.com|GOG.com]], or id Software online store). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Shareware versions of these games can be acquired from http://www.idsoftware.com/. | ||

+ | ===== Where to put WAD files so that Doomsday can find them? ===== | ||
