tFighterPilot Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 If you are talking about prefabs which are models, right click anywhere on the 2D view, misc, misc_model Press cancel in the window that popped up. Press n Write model near key Write the model path in the value (something like models/blah/blah/blah.md3(I'm not sure you need to write md3)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can happily browse for whatever model.md3 you want in the standard Windows "open" file browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Unless it's inside a pk3, which in that case, you can't open it like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 In any case, prefabs are only prefabs if they are built in Radiant. If it's not built in Radiant, it's an imported model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 But sometimes it is called prefab also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgoer Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 If you use GtkRadiant, all of the default .md3s (that is, the ones found in assets0.pk3) get un-paked to your gamedata/base/models/map_objects/ directory, so yes, in fact, you can use the Windows file browser.

Leslie Judge Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Originally posted by imyourfather File, Load, and choose the prefab It is more like: Edit \ Load Prefab. With File \ Load you load a map for editing with closing the open one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 nope, with file\open you close the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa_0 Posted July 13, 2003 Author Share Posted July 13, 2003 What would you use in JK2Radient? Well this is what he wanted to say...he would have posted but is too lazy... i have downloaded a prefab from a website and i want to know how i add it to my map maker program (jk2radiant). i downloaded the queens ship and there are two folders inside the zip.... maps, and textures...how do I use these files? -AshleySolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Change it from zip to pk3 and put it inside the base folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Originally posted by imyourfather "Splitting hairs" in this case means to be overly anal-retentive and/or picky about the word used. 'Load' and 'Open', in the case of the Radiant File menu, would mean the same thing. It was an unnecessary correction, because in this case it means the same thing. This is an example of 'splitting hairs.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 It makes a lot of different, because both are there. Check Radiant, you'll see that both Open and Load are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Killa Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 File/open opens a new map and gets rid of your previouse map. File/load open a map file or .map prefab into your existing map. (all brushes will be selected on the item u "load" anyway back to what this forum is for.... Zappa take tha map file and put it in your maps folder in the base folder. inside the textures folder in the zip there should be another folder. take it and drop it in your textures folder that is in your base folder. Then "LOAD" the . map for the prefab into your map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Judge Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Hehh, it seems I should open JK2Radiant more often. But why should I do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why should I do that? you can use load and open and get the same effects in gtk as i stated above cause gtk is what i use and it works for me.......
