- Description
- The WAL (Where's All the Data) file type is a texture format used predominantly in Quake II, a first-person shooter video game developed by id Software. These files contain texture data, including color, pattern, and surface information, which are applied to the 3D models and environments within the game to enhance visual realism and atmosphere. WAL files support various texture effects such as lighting, transparency, and animation, playing a crucial role in the game's graphical presentation. They are stored within the game's PAK archive files, which also contain other game data such as maps, models, and sounds.
- A JPG file is an image saved in a compressed image format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It is commonly used for storing digital photos and used by most digital cameras to save images. JPG files are among the most common image files along with .PNG, .TIF, and .GIF.
