Hey guys!
I'm currently working on nice little map in memory of the good old jurassic park movie :)
The arena will basically be a raptor pen with working electric fences, a little surveillance building and so on.

Now I've got a question:
Where do I find props like a ladder, lamps, tables, computers and such stuff? Do I have to build it all with the brush tool myself or is there a way to implement such things from Emergence since they are basically already there (but I don't know where...)

To get you a little excited here is a first in game shot of a very early build:

There is still much to do like a nice 3D Skybox, adding displacements, adding various little deatils such as lamps, warning signs, crates (we all love crates, now do we!), adding water and foliage in the pen, and so on... oh and above all: adding lighting :) But the basic brushwork and texturing is nearly finished!

Looking forward to any comments!
Regards Loengard

you use the prop_static entity to make props that stand still. prop_physics to make props that can be thrown about.

:D LOOKING GOOD :D
I just love the way it looks in your screen, :( makes my 1st look like ...

Nice! Jurrasic Park is an awesome setting!

Heh I saw it on the 3D realms forums ^_^
looks good.

hehe yeah I'm Talos at the 3DRealms board :)
Thanks it'll still be quite some work until its finished but it shapes up nicely!

I just managed to add some nice reflective water into the map with some nifty displacementmap in the pen :)

I've got another question though:
How can I scale props (static ones)?

Any comment is appreciated!

New screenshots coming soon ;)

Great stuff!

How can I scale props (static ones)?

From Hammer props can only be scaled (with a 1/16th value) in a 3D skybox.

Static props can be scaled in the .QC but it should be done before exporting the prop data.

You can't scale props in hammer.
