Please help

I just downloaded Hammer today and I need to set all the options up...I did this but I can't find the texture file (.WAD)....do I have to download it or something?

to map for which game?

If you're working in source you don't need to point it anywhere, as source doesn't use .wad files.

I guess we are talking mapping for HL1 or CS 1.6 or suchlike here.

Otherwise the SDK should set you up with the appropriate settings.

Nowadays with the "new" steam all your files for one game/mod have been made into one. So, if you for instance want the halflife textures, which are in halflife.wad, you will first have to download GCFScape and extract that file out of the file Half-Life.gcf.

A bit more trouble for you eh? But it gives VALVe and Nemesis (author of GCFScape) something to do all day,

Hover mouse over 3D view.

press the word "camera" and change it to camera - textured, or camera - textured shaded or whatever its called. You should now have no wireframe.
