Ultimate Mapping Resource Pack 2014-11-06

Then it is already working in hammer.

this isn't a seperate program, this just modifies preferences and prefabs of hammer.

How do I bring it up though?

The libraries are just VMFs that you open like any other map. The prefabs can be found and used like so. Everything else just exists and isn't something you "use" per se.

I saw some dude using the map in a window. How do I do this?

Every map you have opened in hammer is a seperate window, that you can minimize, scale and all that good stuff.

faster creation

it takes me 5 days to finish a map and mow its 3.5 days w00t!!:wow:

If by finish you mean make a first alpha from scratch, you're on the right track. If you mean make a completely finished map from scratch you'll never change again, you're doing it wrong

Are there any FGD updates for the new func_flagdetectionzone and the changes to item_teamflag?

Nevertheless this is an extremely useful resource, thanks

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Not yet.

If it helps, I posted this in another thread.

So, any update planed to deal with MVM? Have you tried bribing Valve to let them use your icons? They are excellent.

I am going to cry if I have to use regular Hammer point entity cubes.

I'll probably look into it Soon™ enough once I find some time. It figures that after I "finish" because nothing is happening on the mapping scene, they add two new game modes mere weeks apart.

edit: Sooner than later, I guess. Since there are now fatal issues with my pack that nobody told me about.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Ok, Updated the FGD to solve the issues that arose.

If you don't want to bother getting the whole giant package for the update, here is just the FGD : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/98931/MappingResources/tf-abs.zip

Everything else (props, textures, icons) will still have to wait for sometime Soon™

 

[Boylee]

This has started popping up since the update, I'm guessing it's something to do with the fgds, seems to still work OK in-game though so it's not really a big issue.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

OnStartOvertime is still in my FGD. I would guess your config (options>game configs) got reverted to default, but there would be much more noticeable things then (entity icons, spawn engy).

 

[A Boojum Snark]

The libraries are opened like any other map, and you can then copy and paste. Prefabs can be used like so: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Prefab#Using_the_Entity_Tool

 

[Seba]

Well this is just a resource pack: it adds icons for entities which would otherwise show up as gray cubes, provides .vmf's with most props organised into categories, a .vmf with the entity setup for most gamemodes, and many other things. Even without this pack you can make a map - it's just easier and faster with it.

 

[drfire]

hurr,and i still don't know how to make a map.

If and when you update this, consider adding some note in the TC prefab explaining how respawnrooms/visualizers work with the TC spawns. It isn't immediately apparent and it took Fubar and I a good hour to figure out during the 72hr contest.
