Quick question! Created 18 years ago2006-02-27 07:07:54 UTC by ChapterNine

Many of you guys complain about using default-textures in maps you make. I was wondering if you would get just as mad for using the default models. Since you cannot include models in the .BSP it would be rather crappy including like 5 .mdl files in the zip...
Oh, and don't complain about me posting this, as this is a question you cannot google, or find on another site. I just want your personal opinions. :P:P:P

What default models would you be talking about?

Because though people wouldn't get very mad, a new model of a bullsquid, scientist or apache is ALWAYS cool.

HL1 'prop' models are usually acceptable. I used a few PS2 models in Sandstorm. Custom weapons/creatures are annoying for people who play other maps/mods/etc though.

Agreed with Rabid about the replacement models, definitely. Though custom models aren't a big issue if you provide a correct .res file with your map.

Problem with models in HL is the meager support for them, though. They're not the easiest things to work with, but they are quite usefull for some additional detail or effects that would be very hard to do with brushes and entities.

I'm talking about trees. pi_trees

Download trapt's original compo entery! He used fish's tree models.

To be fair you weren't that clear Elon.

You could have said 'check out Trapt's entry in the 'Map Something Unique' competition. Newer members might not understand how to get around competitions and vaults right away.

Sheesh...

ok sorry, chapternine...

Thats better.
