Winter wad?

Hey, mappers. I don't know much about wads and mapping, but I'm very intrested in a winter wad for all maps. I know there was at one time a flash wad that made flash winter (as well as fall and summer, depending on what you wanted.) But I think that was only for 3.1, also I found a thread that DANZA made the Kalt wad into Avalanche and the pics he provided were very cool.

Is there any winter wads out there that will work with the current version of DOD?

If not, could somebody direct me to a place to download the wads used in most maps and what steps I need to take to make a texture pack? Perhaps a simple way like replacing textures with those from kalt and snowtown ect?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not quite sure, but I think you'd have to extract say snow textures from kalt, then extract from Flash, then find out which flash textures are which by decompiling the bsp, then rename kalt textures to the same name as the Flash textures, and then overwrite the old flash WAD

Example

Flash Texture for a wall is named flashwall001

Kalt texture you want to replace the flashwall001 with is called kaltwall001

You would need to rename kaltwall001 to flashwall001 and put the texture into a WAD and replace Flash's old WAD

Again I'm not sure, it may come up with errors saying the wad differs from the servers or something of that nature...
