This really is embarrassing... How do I use a prefab? I right click, misc/prefab and get a list of map name folders in which are... prefabs I presume. But they all crash me puter! I'v found a patch which I hope will fix the error as it seems quite common among us noobs. I'm hoping then that's it's a simple case of the "elusive" prefabs appearing in the 2-D window to be tweaked and geeked as one wishes. (I have to ask, because with the crashing I have'nt actually seen the prefab process in action yet!) And also... Must one use prefabs or can you just go on as you see fit? Noob out!

Is it the shader_bin error? If so, the mod tools patch fixes it. To edit a prefab, select it and go to Edit>Enter prefab, and do your stuff, then go to Edit>leave prefab. It's not necessary to use them, but it's advised to use them to put down models.

Yes I think it's the shader error. It's just frustrating having read so many tuts but not been able to execute something so apparently simple. Thanks Dobby. I presume a prefab itself will just appear on the 2-D window when it's been added by right clicking? Then it's a case of dragging and dropping where you want, like any other geometric shape?
