Where can I get a texture.wad for making maps?

I used one from a different custom map. But how do I get one with all the textures.

If for 1.3, there's an ample amount sitting right in the DOD folder. Or you can just look online... there's tonnes of wads there for download.

If for Source, you don't use wads anymore. VTF's are used now.

dod 1.3

textures can be found in your root dod folder /dod/dod_avalanche.wad for example. (don't forget to gcfscape "extract them first)

Then you can get custom ones from the internet. Like the wadfather from planet halflife has a huge database of wad files.
