- 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 WEBP file is an image saved in the WebP (pronounced "Weppy") raster image format developed by Google for web graphics. It is designed to reduce image file sizes over standard JPEG compression while maintaining the same or similar quality. WEBP files allow images to be downloaded more quickly.
