YOU MUST extract, unless you have a program that does it automatically (like WC1.6 does when you first run it), I thought Qoole extracted needed textures, but I could be wrong. Without extracting, RAD doesn't work.... RAD uses these files to do it's magic.. best you can get without them is direct lighting.
