[Request] Custom models or prefabs

[K6Grimm]

I don't mean to highjack the thread, but why on earth don't these models already have a clip? And a bigger question is, why doesn't/didn't Treyarch or IW have their models clipped when releasing mod tools? Its their game and they know your placing the item in a map, so why on earth would you "want" for example, trees that you can hide in the stumps or a car that you can hide inside of? /me scratches head.

They did release a large amount of models with clips, the mistake often made is that mappers add them as xmodels. To add ready clipped models use misc >prefab and look in the map_source\prefabs\misc_models folder, if the model you want isn't available in that folder you have no choice but to clip it yourself.

Sweetness!

Side question: Now I would assume you had to place some clips around it to get in right? For the life of me I don't understand why not a single model has one or there isn't an easier method to the madness to add. You should have seen me trying to add clips all around the destructable bus so people could get inside.... maddening

There are quite a few models already clipped - but you insert them as prefabs - in radiant right click on the 2d grid and go to misc/prefabs then find the misc_models folder located in map_source/prefabs folder
If you are using more than one of the same model not clipped that you have clipped you can save your clipped model as a prefab then insert it all over your map

I have a clipped model of that bus which I have installed breakable windows in if you like I can upload it
Let me know

Imagine you use models on the outside area of a map( trees, grass cliffs etc etc ) , they have no need to be clipped since it should not be possible to get there.
It would just take up memory, and in the end you would have less to create yourself.

Probably because they didn't charge us for the mod tools - just another fun and exciting aspect of mapping mayhem - pour another whiskey and get to clippin

How come it won't let me download anything it says I have insufficient permissions...

[CaptCom]

Prefabs and Models are exclusively for known mappers/modders

[ikamil]

how does one become a "known" mapper?
