I've been making my buildings from scratch, now that I discovered Prefab buildings I feel stupid. Anyone make their own or is it just a waste of time?

Making your own designed buildings is giving your map
your personal touch.

So dont have to feel stupid.

Prefabs is nice in the beginning but making your own is better.

make your own,it takes alot more time but is worth it.you also learn the editor better and appriciate what details make the diff to your maps.

if only i could get custom textures working...


what i would like to see is everyone who does make there own prefabs have a place or be willing to upload them for people to share.
iam happy to share any ive made,is anyone else.?

That's a great idea. A place for pre-made stuff. Even if ya make just a storage box, it would be cool to play a map and see something you made in it.

It a good idear to build your own prefabs to use in your map, make it look more intresting..

Problem is there not enough people making there own prefab and offering to let others use then, so if you like why not share your stuf, as when maps come out, you can say, haty thet my Prefab, and be happy that people are using the.

I crapp at making prefab, and require someone to help make a 3 story large office size building for me, if ya can help anyone please let me know

Share your Prefabs and help others i say

do you use textures? or models? not realy that different is it?

if a model or a prefab fits your map use it. I think thats cool and way more respectable than redoing someones map from another game!

think at prefabs as .map in .map (an OOD software paradigm).

+-map
|
+-buildings
| |
| +-stairs
| +-windows
| +-doors
| +-arches
| +-other_features
+-landscape


Hope this helps.
