Source Hammer Editor Troubleshooting
--------------------------
I got some really awesome looking prefabs but the problem is their in .rar format and for some reason when i put it in sourcesdk/hl2/bin/prefabs it doesnt pop up in the prefabs menu i wonder if it has to be converted to VMF or VMT format? Or do I just need to simply put it in to a different folder :ph34r:

Ok if I'm following you right, you clam you got a rar file? This is a compressed file. Just like a zip but requires a different program to decompress it. I'm sure the files that you are looking for are inside this compressed file... I hope this is right...

Thanks a bunch! It worked and now I can go on to finsh my maps
Zp_apartment_a3 for source - 60% done but unfortunately my compilers freezes while compiling it so I'm starting from scratch with new and improved textures and it will be finshed by Monday night or Tuesday morning. Its going to include ethier an apartment and a carlot or a Two Apartments connected by a walkway, I still haven't decided.

Zp_ExconVict for ZP - 90% done but I don't know what enities are for the human and zombie spawnpoints. Its a pretty small map but includes 4 buildings, a entrance -lazered scanner door that leads to a tower with a lift. The idea is like zp_quarantine but invovles of course newer models and different approach.

Zp_Cafeteria for source - 10% done just touched on it yesterday, Model is done but I'm still adding models to make it look presenable.

I find Hammer to be easier to work on with source
