You mean the files in the graphics/wads folder?

They´re related to the WAD of the level. Info on the rooms, objects, Cd tracks, etc., everything needed for the converter to compile a TR4 file. Check the manual for a clear explanation about each one of these files. There´s also a diagram with the files and programs organization, explaining how they work together.

I think WAD files originated with Doom. They were carried on into Quake. The terminology was adopted for many games after that, even though the file formats were different.

what i find odd is whether 'WAD' is an acronym.

as for doom i quite liked that.

but what happens if my copy of trle didnt come with a manual so i cant lookup what the guy above said.
