Prefab Editor (Alpha)

Ofc this was a little exaggeration. lol ���?
Without your editor, theres a good chance there would be no custom prefabs for A16 :p

And hurry up with your tower so everyone can be amazed at all the fine craftsmanship :p .

 
Yeah! I called you that! And I'll do it again!
Means yer a really swell guy with a neato editor fyi... Awww... I'm not a total troll. :p
Ahh thanks man and thanks for teaching me a new neato slang word.^^

 
Unfortunately, version 0.4 is still not ready (soon® though). So instead of an update you get some hints regarding rotations (that's something I've discovered recently).

There are blocks having the property OnlySimpleRotations. If you open the block.xml and remove all occurrences of the line

<property name="OnlySimpleRotations" value="true"/>

you should have more available rotations for certain blocks (e.g. for the garage door). However, there are other rotations which will still remain inaccessible ingame (you can set them in the editor though even if you haven't modded the blocks.xml).

Does anybody how we can make all rotations available (without editor / for ingame usage)?

Thats cool to know! Side note about the garage door. You have to be careful how you place it as placing it to near to certain blocks can cause cast ray errors. I assume this is due to some collision detection for the door when it opens/closes. I ran into this problem when using it as the door for my outdoor garbage enclosure within my mcdowell's prefab. :)

Actually it's annoying since we have to recheck hundreds of blocks ids (because some of the blocks could have an useful unknown rotation^^).

Ohh thanks for the hint!

New to your wonderful tool and pre-fabs in general.

I have been making some very small basic prefabs using the guides that you guys have been making and I really love the programe.

I wanted to put some on a map to see them but the only way I have found to do so is through Hals prefab program. Is this right?

and one more question. How could I get these prefabs onto my existing mp PVP server?

Thank you

To get them on your pvp server, you'd have to upload the tts file to the prefab server, and have either Coppi's Mod or Bad Company Manager installed on the server. You can use either to import your prefab.

 
They do what they should do. ;) You place an entity somewhere in the prefab and the entity spawns (together with the prefab, no matter if RWG or Hal's import function).

Yes yes - this is work for a16! (i checked this on my old prefabs). Cool ! I wait this feature!
...but i couldn't spawn this way in RWG... :(

(before, i tested it on Navezgane)

Yeh the three - Stompynzs badco api. Hals commands or coppis. But if you have a tts you can also upload to your server and place the prefab into the rwgmixer to for it to spawn naturally.

 
@Spectral Force, stallionsden

Thanks for being so supportive. :)

@Mr.Kinder

I think Spectral Force and stallionsden have already answered your questions but if there's anything else you want to know, just ask.

@n2n1

That would be bad. I'll have a look at this issue. Thanks.

 
a really nice idea would be a Randompaint.

Means the user can make a list of blocks he want and give every block a propability

As example, the user make a free field and want to place

Boulder 0.1%

Azalea 5%

Rock01 2%

Rock02 2%

Rock03 2%

Rock04 2%

Rock05 1%

Rock06 1%

Rock07 1%

Rock08 1%

Rock09 1%

Grass

....

Me too.

I am not able to use the static spawns in RWG. That's really annoying. :(

@Guppycur

Please add a feature that writes my claims for me, thanks.
What kind of claims are you talking about? lol

@Royal Delux

Have you fixed the prefab (because I don't get any error messages)?

There were ideas in my head for a random vegetation brush and actually there's no reason to not have such a feature.
