I am making this map revolving around a prison. I am trying to have a big open area for the teams to fight in, the cafeteria. But i am missing a wad for my map. I was wondering if anyone know of any wad or wad packs that would allow me to use a bench or table with chairs. Also, if you have and idea of what to use other then a bench, please tell me.

I don't quite get what you are saying.
A WAD file is a set of textures. I think the word you are looking for is a prefab. However using prefabs in a map is a bit lazy so maybe you should build your chairs and tables yourself :D

Or use the chair and table models that come with DoD.

I would like to make a bench, but I have no idea how to. I didn't get any wads that came with my DoD. I am using Steam, I don't think you get them with steam. Am I wrong?

the wads are packed in the cfg.. you can browse that with a program
"cfgbrowser" though personally i got one dev dod ( dod retail 1.0) and one play dod ( steam)

Nice one Mr Bak.

you know, i've never used a cfg browser. anyone gotta link to it?

Um, what config would you be talking about?

It's GCF -explorer and you can find it here (http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Nemesis/index.php?p=26)

Well, I have all the wad files for all the 1.0 maps, but I still can't find a bench or chair or anything useful. Does anyone know of a texture that I could use for my map?

first of all... a bench or a chair isn't a texture, but rather world geometry or model geometry. You will find a nice set of chairs and tables inside the GCF file.

You mean a wood texture? Just about every wad has got one of those.

I have tried the GCF thingy, but I could never find a file that was readable by the program. I am using the Steam version, is it able to read files from Steam?

Use the "GFC Thingy" and look for a model named bord.mdl...it's in the day of defeat gfc file and it's under the dod\models\mapmodels folder. Try that...extract that one file out and then place it in the exact same-named folder on your hard drive. Good luck (sry for the minimal instruction but it's late...and I'm old and tired).

this thread has me confused.


Ok so let's do some modding 101, Izuno style:

1) If you want to make a bench, table or chair or something, you have 2 real options:

1a) use a model. there should be some basic models included with steam cash file as discussed, or in the 1.0 downloadable version. someone should be able to provide for you.

1b) make the furniture from brushes. there are plenty of wood textures in the standard dod wads, else wads you can find by searching the forums.

2) "It's delux, son. It's not that hard!"

EDIT:

Just saw FD's post. Yes he's right. Sorry didn't mean to sound sarcastic. Really if you're new to this modding stuff it's cool. Gotta learn some way. Good luck!
