Huge Prefabs Pack made by me! :D (GoldSR Created 11 years ago2013-08-22 16:17:32 UTC by Alberto309

Heya, TWHL friends!

I've just released my HUGE prefabs pack on GameBanana as promised!

HERE

I'll be delighted if you'd take a look at it, and maybe comment/rate it.
The TWHL community and The Mighty Atom are on the credits of the submission.

Thanks a lot to everyone!

Interesting stuff
I should upload all of my prefabs.

@Stojke:

Thanks, Stojke.

I suggest you to not upload "ALL" of your prefabs (mine is not my whole prefabs I got). If you make little packs with a different time delay between them, you'll gonna earn more points on GB (well, if you're actually interested in earning points of course :P).

Gamebanana points are as good to me as wiping my ass with them

If my prefabs can be of use to people and interest more users to map for CS, than I'm good.
I should repack some and repair some.

Hmmm...Lots of small stuff there that would be better of as models, imho.

@Stojke:

Lol, this is actually true. But with points you can be more visible on the site, so more people will notice your works more. For example the "uPic", and something useful that personalize more your submissions, which is good for the "eye part" and people will notice them inside the mass uploads.
Having just "points" without using them, yeah, is actually as good as wiping my ass too, I guess.

EDIT: I DO wanna see your prefabs, my friend! Are you gonna upload them here on TWHL or on GB?

@Kachito:

Yeah, you're actually right, but some mappers didn't know how create models (for example: me). So if they want to change textures, size, in-game render, entity type, etc... They can do that with the stuff I provided. If I want to make a "func_pendulum", a "func_wall_toggle", or a "func_rot_button" with a model, I don't think you can do it. But I totally agree with you, models are better (even for performance and compiling times, of course), but as I already mentioned, I don't know how to create them. :/

Before i learned 3d max and i couldn't find any models that i liked out there on the web, i used a similar technique to the one in the link below. Requires almost no 3D modeling experience...Well, maybe some UV mapping...

For simple stuff, Google Sketchup is a good start for beginners too; if you can handle VHE, you`re not going to have any problems with it.

@Kachito:

Hey! Thanks a lot for this huge tip!

I'm gonna try it as soon as I get a new computer. I can't use Source SDK because my actual computer can't handle ANY Source game properly (Direct X 8 videocard only), unfortunately... :/
I need to learn how to do basic UV mapping of course. I never got into textures making, only on GoldSRC, which is easy since you'll have to edit the texture only to resize it with powers of 2 with a 512x512 max resolution, export it to an indexed .BMP 255 colours and then put them into a wad using Easy Wad Maker or other similar softwares. Pretty easy. I didn't even use Wally for this (for the only exeption of transparent textures).

Thanks a lot again, by the way! Much appreciated!
