So I just recently picked up mapping for Team Fortress Classic again. I hadn’t done it for a few years, so I was actually surprised how well everything worked with my new computer, operating system and all. Except one thing: The wad.txt would not be included properly, as seen below.

This happens when your wad.txt looks somewhat like this:

halflife.wad  
zhlt.wad

This actually has a very simple fix: Just add a backslash (\) to the beginning of every line and it should work perfectly fine.

\halflife.wad  
\zhlt.wad
