Where do I get objects from existing maps?

(Serpico) #1

I apologize if this was covered a thousand times before, but I’m new to mapping and havn’t found any threads answering this question. I was wondering how do I get prefabs from existing maps, assuming it is ok to use them. For example, I need to add several bunk beds to my map. Thankfully enough Drakir had what I needed on his site. But otherwise, how could I get such a thing from a map like “Seawall Battery”? Another example, I need some garage doors like on “Fuel Dump”. How can I extract the brushes and scripts and such from that map to use in my map?
Any help would be appreciated.

well the only way is decompiling the maps!
but thats SIN @ mapping (what a joke) !
you can copy everything from the .map file of Goldrush!

You can use prefabs distrubuted by mappers (such as drakir). Or you can use a misc_model entity… Or you can decompile a specific .bsp via q3map2. To learn how to do the latter, just do a search on these forums. Goodlucks.

my experience is that in the time i would have spent for searching the prefab (that most time doesn’t fit in anyway) i can do it myself - at least with simple objects, anyway we have some as well at www.wolfproject.net
