The format belongs to the id Tech 3 engine developed by id Software and is used by Quake 3 on Microsoft Windows. A WEAP file defines how a weapon appears and behaves in the game.
It contains weapon settings and associated resources, including the weapon's 3D models, animations, sounds, and icon. The file is part of the game's resource data and is loaded by Quake 3 rather than used as a general-purpose document.
The format is specific to Quake 3 and compatible id Tech 3 game content. It is an engine resource format rather than a current interchange format.
Quake 3 opens and uses WEAP files as part of its game data on Microsoft Windows. A WEAP file normally should remain in the game or mod files that supplied it; it is not intended to be opened independently.
Editing the file can prevent the game or a mod from loading the weapon correctly.
There is no standard conversion for a WEAP file. It contains game-specific weapon data and cannot be meaningfully converted to a common document or media format.
To use the weapon in another Quake 3 or id Tech 3 project, the game data and its associated models, animations, sounds, and icon generally need to be adapted for that project's format rather than converted directly.
