 Re: need help with....props/entities
Posted by heritagegirl on Wed Jul 1st at 10:00pm 2009

Okay so i'm trying to make a map that is mainly mountains and tents. 1 problem is I can't find a tent when I go to prop_static; world model; browse; filter: tent (i've also tried other words that might categorize with tents). So right now i'm under the impression that there are no props that can be a tent. So is there an entity that is made for such a delima that I am in, an entity that forms under command? I went to the "Valve Developer Community" and searched for an entity list and a prop_static list, in case I missed a potential word that would help me find a tent, but no such luck. So do you guys know of a map that has a tent that I could decompile and copy from, or perhaps a website that has a variety of props available to download and use? Or if I can just use some website site that will make a custom "prop/world model" then code it for me to beable to add it to my map. Or if there is any other way that i'm not thinking of please help me, because like I said all this map is is mountains and tents so without the tents my map can't be played on, so please if you know anyway that might help let me know. If needed my email is katerules98@hotmail.com
thanks.

Often times, this site I linked normally has a lot of good props to buy. But that's the downfall, you have to buy them, but then you don't have to credit anyone! Here's their list of tent models ready for download: TurboSquid.com I don't recall ever seeing any tent models in any Source game. You would thing there would be some in L4D, but I can't think of any. I do know L4D does have some sleeping bag and campfire pit models.

BTW, those models would have to be compiled into Source before you could use them.

There's always FPSbanana too.

You can always check TurboSquid's free models section.

Yeah the props are pretty limited to what shipped with CSS, DOD, HL2, EP1, EP2, Portal, TF2, or any other source game/mod out there. I can't tell you where to find a tent model, however I can make a suggestion on how to make one:

Displacements. Load up any DOD map and you'll see sometimes they made roofs out of displacement in order to "bend" or "sag" a roof. My suggestion would be is to find a texture and apply it to all ends of a thin brush. Then make a displacement out of the entire brush. That way you can make "sags" in it.
