I know the pain to make all the small things u add everywhere in your maps so i have put up a new page on my site “Prefabs”.
Right now there´s 27 prefabs to download.

Check it out here http://www.drakir.tk

Some of those prefabs are taken directly out of the sample map goldrush and at the top of your page you say “-----Prefabs i made for your download pleasure-----” … something does not quiet add up …

Nice… a lot of these will come in very handy :slight_smile:

Do you take requests?

(D3C0Y) #14

wow that train looks awsome realistic
will it be used by the sd guys ? or is it dl’able ?

(Pog'S) #15

The train will be used in our Chariot Campaign map 3 : U-Boat Pens.
There is a railroad in the map where the train will be in.

I dont know the politics behind this (ie. which prefabs belong to SD -if any etc), but it is a nice selection of prefabs to work with. Thanks Drakir!

Ey drakir i sended you a file with ammo/health cabinets, maybe thats also usefull (Also token from goldrush, in case being attacked by sock lol j/k)

Its nothing about politics or anything silly like that, its all about recognising source and giving relevant credit. I personally think the prefab selection organized by Drakir is really nice idea but just remember to give relevant credit where its due.

Great collection Drakir. I have to agree with sock, give credit where credit is due. I’ve ripped some windows and benches and whatnot from goldrush to use in my map but it does raise an interesting question.

A bench is a bench is a bench. Or a crate. Or whatever. Obviously blatant swipes from existing maps (like the Rhine bridge or say a truck from Goldrush) need to be credited. But in some cases when you build a generic prefab they’re pretty much all the same. Chances are I would build a crate using the same texture and scale that SD might have in one of their maps, or someone else. Then it becomes a question of who really created the original doesn’t it? Sure I built a crate but they’re so generic it’s hard to tell if I really built it or I took it from another map. There are some signs to be able to tell (caulk textures, clip areas, etc.) but for the most part a lot of filler material is going to be duplicated.

Again, maybe a prefab centre (and I believe there are a couple kicking around, but not for ET) is probably needed. I see a really good one (specifically for ET say) to be like a supermarket. I can use one of 10 different crate prefabs, all similar but different in execution. Or heck I could use all 10 of them for variety.

Anyways, back to mapping.
