Hey guys, we got this hugh map vault with many prefabs, but anyone noticed how hard it is to find anything useful there? What if we made a PREFAB VAULT! With own categories etc?

I dunno. I spose generally you should make your own stuff and unless you need a HL Valve prefab then just decompile and rebuild it brush by brush.

What we need is a texture vault.

Yeah, a texture vault is also a good idea! But the meaning with prefab vault is custom made prefabs, somewhere where muzzleflash can store his cool flamethrower prefab or whatever he will build next etc (just a example, please dont hit me, muzzle!)

I Don't really understand it, I mean, if I want to make a map i want to showcase my work, not other peoples prefabs, but meh.

I guess it would be a cool place to show off your masterpieces, but again, i dunno... :/

Most prefabs should be models anyway, maybe a model vault LULZ! = )

A separate category called Prefabs maybe, but a whole new vault?
Meh.
Nobody likes prefabs anyway.

And with TWHL3's new advanced search thingie, finding the right prefab wouldn't be hard.

Prefabs can be a good timesaver in smaller side-projects, though. (my Tunnel Door map used a BM Tram prefab)

The only prefabs I see acceptable is:

1. The BM Tram

2. Working Cola Machines

3. Generically pre-named entity setups.

4. Furniture

But nothing beyond that.

Even then, a whole vault is pretty worthless, I agree. But it's also a bit stupid. Assuming it builds up a bit, I'm sure noone will bother to use the search to check if their prefab has already been made. Then people will keep adding the same prefab over and over. Then we have alot of junk and several worthless pages to look through.

Bottom line -- Crappy idea. Make you're own work, turn it into a prefab if you want but use your 'own' prefabs.

ok, maybe just a sub-category in maps could also be great
