New page

Derived from Quake's WAD2 format.
All data types uses little endian byte order.

After the format's header there are num_dirs directory entries that contains data about all the files within the WAD3 archive, as well as their position within the file.

{{binary_struct|TreeSize|type=uint32|length=4|description=The number of files within the WAD3 package.}}
{{binary_struct|HeaderSize|type=uint32|length=4|description=Offset of the file tree relative to the beginning of the WAD3.}}
