Help with buildwad plz?

#1 I've never been able to get buildwad to work. I advise using Wally (google for it).

Ian

#2 I seen the wally site but..

1. some of the download links are dead.
2. the ones that work put you in along que

#3 I also advise anyone 2 use wally since is a proven tool that works. but if you're not anxious about it and willing to wait, our homepage (www.gramofon.ro) will soon host wad packages for download.

#4 I want to use my own textures.

#5 Then look for wally here collective.valve-erc.com/data/docs/1047496381-02062100/files/wally_155b.exe and go ahead.

#6 We also have a documentation at ToRK on how to use Buildwad.

#7 Ok thanks guys

#8 I have some time so sit down and type, so here goes...

Craig's recommended method to use Buildwad.exe Hehe :D

Setup a directory structure like thus:

Example
 |
 |-createwad.bat
 |-buildWad.exe
 |-textures
   |
   |-Texture1.jpg
   |-Texture2.jpg
   |-Texture3.jpg

createwad.bat's contents are as thus:

"buildWad.exe" -x textures textures.wad

To use, simply put your textures into the "textures" folder and run createwad.bat

#9 I was begining to be anoyed with buildwad. I kept getting a very small .wads, like 12 bytes, well read what is printed to the console over a few times more, then decided to try something different. I had all my textures and buildwad in the same directory, and buildwad dosent seem to like that, it want the textures to be in a sub directory, so I made a directory called wads and under it a directory called temple. So I now have.

+-wads
|--[temple] [DIR]
|--buildwad.exe

I drop my textures into the \\wads\temple\ directory then go to \\wads and i run
buildwad -x temple temple.wad
and ala penutbutter sandwitches its starts saying something about adding lumps, thought I already had those from banging my keyboard?, anyway nice big temple.wad and wc reads it just fine.
