Can't load prefabs

[bambini]

So I'm working my way thruogh the brilliant A-Z Beginner Guide, when I ran into a bit of a problem.

 

On page 3, it tells you how to put in a prefab sky. The problem I'm having is that when I'm in DarkRadiant and right-click on the grid view and select "Insert Prefab", I get an error message. It says "The folder contents could not be displayed: Error stating file 'C:/Program Files\Doom 3\darkmod\prefabs': No such file or directory"

 

I figure I must be missing the prefab folder and all its contents. Any idea where I can get it from or where it's gone?

You have to unzip the 'prefab.pk4' in order to access the prefabs. A pk4 is nothing more than a zip file. Unzip it, and place the prefabs folder in the darkmod directory. We should make note of this in the A to Z for users who have downloaded the mod.

OK, added to the wiki.

Thanks Fidcal. I had planned to do it, but you beat me to it.

Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it.

 

Out of interest, should I worry about the other .pk4 files in the darkmod folder? There seem to be quite a few. Also, once I've converted it to a .zip file to unpack it, is it important to rename it back to a .pk4 file? I probably will for neatness, but I'd be interested in knowing whether TDM relies on the prefabs.pk4 file.

No need to worry about the other pk4s. The prefabs.pk4 also. If it updates at the next update you may need to extract again but apart from that no worries.
