where do i get a WAD?

 

[Rob]

You make a WAD.
If you're looking for a wad editor, try XWE.
Google it.

 

[Rad_the_hedgehog]

now it says where did it come from...

 

[Rob]

Be more specific.

 

[Rad_the_hedgehog]

ok,it says it cant open the file because it doesnt know where the file came from....then it says either to select from a list or use sites...i chose internet explorer and now the file wont open at all

He's talking about the Open With dialog of Windows XP. Now I've seen everything.

Dude, you don't double-click the file. You find the editor that you need and use its Open dialog to open the file.

download XWE
open it
click open
select the charector you want to changes plr file example:tails.plr
click a sprite
click save as, its somewhere in those top tabs
save it as a bmp into a file or somethign to reduce clutter
open it in paint, then use the tutorial site

 

[shadowstar]

Yeah, but don't modify sonic.plr, tails.plr, or knux.plr or else SRB2 won't start anymore.

If ou're going to edit an SRB2 file, make a copy first, or the game won't load. It's to stop you from cheating by modifying files, and the game will crash.

Actually, you CAN associate .wad files to XWE through the Windows shell, and it works too. Also, running XWE automatically associates them unless you tell it otherwise.

Indeed, it has to do it 35 times every second, too. X_X
