I copied a grouped light from a Valve map, and inserting it through pressing Return didn't work. Only "Insert original prefab" worked. Why?? Pressing Return has worked before. The instructions need changing, but first I'd like to sort out thre reasons behind this behavior. Is this because of transfers from map to map, from VALVE map to map, grouping, or something else? --[[User:Andreasen|Andreasen]] 20:26, 16 Sep 2006 (PDT)

:Andreasen, I had the same problem. the solution is to add the .vmf document type. I could save on other parts of the hard drive fine but when I saved to the prefab folder it just saved it as a .file .

Insertion problems

I copied a grouped light from a Valve map, and inserting it through pressing Return didn't work. Only "Insert original prefab" worked. Why?? Pressing Return has worked before. The instructions need changing, but first I'd like to sort out thre reasons behind this behavior. Is this because of transfers from map to map, from VALVE map to map, grouping, or something else? --Andreasen 20:26, 16 Sep 2006 (PDT)

Andreasen, I had the same problem. the solution is to add the .vmf document type. I could save on other parts of the hard drive fine but when I saved to the prefab folder it just saved it as a .file .

If you are talking about the bin/prefabs folder, I just tested it, and it works fine. The prefabs I save are automatically ended with ".vmf". Are you using the same folder? --Andreasen 08:25, 21 Sep 2007 (PDT)


Prefab sources

This article sure could use some more links to popular prefab sites. They're pretty hard to find, most sites only have a handful of them. --RF 10:40, 29 Jan 2007 (PST)
