WAD Files

When a GameMaker game is compiled and distributed, all of the game's logic and most of its assets are stored in a WAD ("Where's All the Data?") file. The default name for the WAD file will change based on what operating system the game was compiled for.

Note that the WAD file is not the .exe file, which also usually exists in the same directory where the WAD file is.

The default location of the WAD file depends on which operating system the game was downloaded on.

UNDERTALE

The following are the default WAD file paths for UNDERTALE if it was installed through Steam:

DELTARUNE

Instead of having all of DELTARUNE's logic in one WAD file, the purchasable release of DELTARUNE contains a Chapter Select WAD file and then individual WAD files for each chapter. The Chapter Select WAD file can be found in the following directories:

The directory that contains the Chapter Select WAD file also contains folders for each chapter, with each folder containing the WAD file for that chapter. The folders are named as follows, with X representing the chapter number:

For example, a Windows installation with the first five chapters installed might look like the following (with irrelevant files and folders discarded):
