I'm not saying do not ask questions, or that you won't receive help, because there most certainly is a learning curve and I found most of the tutorials out there tedious, outdated, or not intuitive. All I am saying is 5 minutes after downloading it don't ask a question for every one thing you try to do. You will quickly frustrate people who can help you. If you have spent appropriate time researching and working with it, simply ignore this and don't get offended. As far as your x,y,z you can use console commands, I just enter debug menu by typing dm in the console (and enter key after) and then hitting F3. It will keep a real-time overlay up which will include your x,y,z. "If I told you, you would not know, you would simply have been told. Go and study it thoroughly, and one day I will ask you and you will answer. And then you will know." Vote h0tr0d 2016 -- we put the eff in F3.

[QUOTE=Akari_Tsukino;311981]Oh, and I'm not trying to spawn the prefab at me in random gen, I want to add it to the list of randomly placed structures.[/QUOTE] Maybe you should learn to say what you mean, and not get pissy if someone misinterprets you because you don't communicate precisely. Welcome to the forums but please don't get into a pissing contest with me. You won't win and most likely I would end up banned or suspended so therefore I wouldn't win either. The name's "h0tr0d". Not "I'll bend over and take it." That being said, as Hal will most likely ask me to chill in some form if you want help that isn't an issue. But I'm not going to spoon-feed you. if I do an instructional video and you don't want to watch it, pound sand. LazMan is a great prefab worker here on the forums, have you seen his crashed airplane?

Akari_Tsukino Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I wasn't getting into a pissing contest. I was just trying to be as precise as possible with how I ask. Video tutorials give me issues because I usually need help with one small thing but the video is so long that getting to that takes far longer than just reading a text one and jumping where the info i need is. I haven't taken up an attitude with anyone, other than being offended by the implication that I hadn't been trying to figure out the program all day and getting really frustrated at being unable to find the info i needed on my own, as well as the program giving me problems. I also can't follow video tutorials that well, the information goes in one ear and out the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't just type a query and wait for an answer. We're just a group of people that enjoy the same thing that are willing to give information of our experiences to others so your way of trying to be as "precise as possible" comes across as abrasive and demanding. Coupled with the quickness of questions (and answering your own questions just a few minutes later) you're likely to run into resistance. Come say hello, ask questions and say thanks. It all adds up when you're dealing with strangers. Having said that, Pacco has given you a link for locking doors and h0tr0d has given you a link for information on adding prefabs to random gen. To expand on that in the editor click on the "Prefab" tab, then choose "Show Random Gen XML" and you'll get a new panel at the bottom. In the "allowed biomes" part click the ones you want to allow. That should add it into the mix for random gen. There's a limit on the city biome of 44x44 I think but you'll have to do some research on that (or one of you prefabbers want to weigh in here? I may be the master of song but that doesn't mean I can carry a tune...) And don't forget to save the prefab after your changes (eh h0tr0d? ^^) Cheers, Hal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smell alone would be unbearable. And don't forget to save the prefab after your changes (eh h0tr0d? ^^) Cheers, Hal[/QUOTE] yeah yeah, it's all bout the air blocks. I just did a video on basic prefab use and inserting your first prefab but I had the mic too close so I'll do another one. It should answer alot of basic questions more experienced people may miss, especially the creator since they already have gone past the normal user in experience. It's hard to make 40 videos covering each little step, inserting a prefab is more than just the command, because it will lead to a million questions but I try to break them up into manageable topics. With the prefab editor there is claiming, exporting which go hand in hand as well as importing/inserting that. There is initial use (first time seeing it) and inserting the first prefab which seems to cause the most questions. So I'll try and make a 30 minute video which is efficient in doing so as well as one on getting a prefab to spawn in your random gen world. My videos are usually user-friendly and straight-forward with the K.I.S.S method but I abhor having to make multiple pictures with instructions like Ekko did. One thing I still can't work out is how that weird terrain/block blend comes inserting anything into the ground. Even with acopyairblocks=true it still messes with you. You saw that in one of my videos, and apparently there is no solution since a12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take slightly longer to insert the prefabs but should remove those texture glitches by default. @all I'm going to have a quick stab at getting the editor updated before I wipe my computer.
