Lobby Prefabs for Zombie Panic! Source Created by Kep Pump (E-Arkham) March 2010 ===================== CONTENTS ===================== * 1 Basement lobby * 1 Industrial lobby * 1 Rooftop lobby * 1 Woodland lobby * 1 Set of lobby entities (x32 info_player_commons, env_cubemap, info_player_start, and info_lighting) These each include: * 32 lobby spawns (info_player_commons) * Triggers for all three teams (human, zombie, spectator) * Basic detailing for the theme (all HL2 or ZPS textures/props) ===================== COMMENTARY ===================== I got a little tired of seeing the same old boring lobbies in custom maps, so I these prefabs with four themes: basement, woodland, industrial, and rooftop. Hopefully having a prefab will help make map creation much easier, since you can shove in one of these prefabs and then jump right into designing the rest of your map. Personally I find the basement and woodland lobbies to be the best looking and most widely useful. Bear in mind these are sparsely detailed -- I added the bare minimum to capture the theme (though in the case of the woodland one, the 'bare minimum' turned out to be quite a bit). ===================== DIRECTIONS ===================== 1) Place this archive in your C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\\ folder. 2) Unpack the archive. Make sure that "use filepaths" (or its equivalent) is checked ON or set to "Yes" 3) Open Hammer. Start a new map. In the map, select the Entity Tool or use cntrl-E. 4) In the New Objects toolbar, select the ZPS Lobbies category. 5) Select one of the lobby prefabs from the library in the Objects: selection box. 6) Click in the 3D view where you want the prefab to be placed, or click in one of the 2D views and press to insert the prefab. 7) Rejoice at your new lobby prefab! More info about prefabs can be found here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Prefab If you do NOT choose the "use filepaths" option or for some reason the archive unpacks incorrectly, you should place all the vmfs in this archive in the following folder: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\prefabs\ZPS - Lobbies ===================== USAGE ===================== * You are free to distribute any lobby within compiled maps but please do not redistribute the prefab vmf itself * You are free to modify these to make them fit your map more closely * You do not have to give me credit if you use these (though that'd certainly be nice) * These are ONLY the lobby areas! You'll still need to set up your map normally, which would include skybox settings, light_environment entities, decals, and spawns for the three teams! * Sometimes very large prefabs can crash Hammer; I don't know what causes this. This didn't happen to me when I tested these prefabs, but if it happens to you, simply open the vmf like any other map, select everything, and copy it to your map. Enjoy! Kep Pump AKA E-Arkham
