Ultimate Mapping Resource Pack 2014-11-06

[A Boojum Snark]

update.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/98931/MappingResources/img/MRP_tfkey.jpg
these now have the tf keyword, but many will still be missing due to the material exclusion thing (unless you've worked around it), I was in the middle of futzing with that stuff and didn't want to wait to finish it, so this stuff got shipped anyway.

I also now have the excluded props in a list linked in the library section of the main post, rather than in the fake entity in the vmf.

I am so tired now, I may think of more I wanted to say in the morning.

We love you, Snark.

And now I FINALLY know what was in this update.

I thanked your post, but I wanted to thank you in a post as well. It's a great help.

I often wonder if Valve uses this, because I can't imagine not using it.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Well, there is this...

 

[tyler]

That's incredible. When are they hiring you?

Makes me wonder if they bought the swamp pack because someone there is making a map using some of the resources.

 

[honeymustard]

Thank you for the new version, it's a great help.

Or you know, they bought a map that had most (if not all) the Swamp stuff in it, and since it would be silly to leave a couple out, they included it all.

don't crush my dreams, okay?

 

[Wilson]

don't crush my dreams, okay?

He doesn't, even if Little is right, there is good change Valve is making map using swamp theme.

great work been looking forward to seeing the screamfortress update in it

I do however, have 1 problem: hammer crashes when i open my map and the prop library at the same time

when i open my map, and then the old version, ABS_PropLibrary_10-07-09.vmf, it works fine

when i open my map, and then the new version, ABS_PropLibrary_10-10-30.vmf, hammer crashes

when i just open my map theres no problem, when i just open the new prop library, theres no problem either, but cant open them at the same time

I can only assume that at 1284 props it's gotten too big for your system to handle or something... how much ram do you have?

 

[lana]

Have you also let the map load? It's a very large map and takes a considerable amount of time to open.

yea, each time i waited till it was loaded and i can move the camera smoothly around the map


Tested:
my map + dustbowl + badlands -> no crash
new prop library + dustbowl + badlands -> no crash
my map + old prop library + granary -> no crash
new prop library + old prop library + granary -> no crash
my map + new prop library -> crash

I don't get it..

 

[A Boojum Snark]

oh, that's really weird then... hmm. Would you be willing to send me your VMF so I can see if it happens on other systems, and/or see if I find something in it that might be the cause?

Do you think you might possibly add a prefab for the train to this? It seems like one more thing that would be great to have easy access to.

This I concur with.

I've downloaded the 2010-10-30 version three times now, and each time I try to install, it crashes.

"Mapping_Resource_Pack_2010-10-30.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

8055kb the correct size of the exe? I'm using WinXP (still).

Train prefab: I've thought about it in the past, I dunno. It's a really complicated thing that has a lot of setup dependent on how/where it is going to be implemented, not terribly prefab-able.

earkham: When you run it, or any particular point during the process? I'm not sure where to begin. (I do use XP myself, so it's not that)

 

[EArkham]

As soon as I run it. I doubleclick, and the only thing that pops up is the error.

I'd c&p the full exception, but it won't let me select it, much less copy it. I could copy this much though, if it helps narrow down what point in the process it's failing:

AppName: mapping_resource_pack_2010-10-30.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: kmw_dll.dll
ModVer: 6.3.4.1 Offset: 00002fc8

I also can't open the latest library and my map at the same time.
