Black-Ice's Model Pack for Mappers & Gamers

The first images you see will usually be featured new additions!

These are not just for mapping - they can be used normally too! Almost everything is made to assume players will spawn and use these, so many items are modular!

Why not join my little community? We have over a hundred members, and you can be one of them[discord.gg]


Welcome to my mapping model pack. In here are thousands - yes! - of models awaiting your use. They usually range from:
Roads
Industrial
Buildings
City stuff
Regular Props
Boats
Walls
Infrastructure
Bridges
Pipes
Tunnels
Custom made railway tracks (typically Trakpack3)
And many more!

Can I make a suggestion/give feedback/let you know there's a problem?

Absolutely. I encourage it, even. A lot of my quality is based on feedback, and I try to act swiftly to fix problems despite trying to make sure things work first time round. I am always up for suggestions, and hundreds of models have been created as a result! Join the discord and message me or publicly ask for it. Some of the best ideas come from other people!

I see a small handful of items from L4D2 in this pack, how come they're there?

These are being used in maps I create and are a handy source for some of them as L4D2 isn't a game you can normally mount into GMod - but please note, I haven't ported all of L4D2 here, that would be crazy! There's only a few models I needed.

Where can I see what's been added to the pack already?

Other than the changelog, you can join the community discord which has an update page of its own changelogs. Also featured are more images such as WIP's, previous attempts, current feedback, suggestions and more.

I saw that it's been updated a few times, but my version doesn't contain the new stuff. What gives?

Under the assumption you're using this for mapping purposes and have therefore decompiled the addon, you may need to repeat the decompiling process and apply the newer version wherever your mapping project files are. This is because despite decompiling, the decompiled versions will not automatically update - that's why the workshop's a blast! If you think that this is still happening despite this, let me know what you're trying to find, and I'll see if it's a problem from my end or it's not put in correctly :-)

I can't find your addon in the spawnlist. Where is it?

Don't worry! As the addon doesn't have a dedicated spawnlist, you just simply need to scroll down in your spawnmenu (when you hold Q), and near the bottom will be a section labelled Addons. Expand this section and find "black-ice-models". From there, you will find a series of additional folders like roads, lighting, buildings - some with their own sub-folders depending on type, speciality, usage - which get updated all the time!

How do I use this for mapping?

Using tools such as GmPublisher (which is my go-to recommendation!) you can easily upload or decompile addons from the workshop. Some creators don't like this - which is fair! - so make sure if you do this to another addon, you are using it purely for good reasons, and NOT to claim it as your own. Many content creators have worked very hard, so it's best you give them credit. Unlike them, my addon is absolutely welcomed to be decompiled. If you aren't sure, doesn't hurt to ask. Sometimes it's one way to find out "How did they do X, Y or Z?", especially if they can't be reached and Google doesn't help.

To use my addon for mapping however, use a tool like GmPublisher to download the addon into its original files, and move those files to the relevant mapping project area - in my addon, it will usually just be the Models and Materials folder, you may find additional ones in other addons - once done, load up hammer and the items should appear under 'Black Ice Models'. Be careful though, check which folders you want, as some of them are spare folders that are used to help with error model prevention on some mapping projects. For example, if you want just buildings, you should move the Buildings folder from both /models/blackice/ and /materials/models/blackice into the relevant areas, as you may cause error models or missing textures.

I see you take contributions - how can I get something added?

First off, we need to make sure that what we're adding isn't stolen content from another creator who might not appreciate their things being added - this is to protect you and me, plus, it wouldn't be fair! Secondly, simply reach out - preferably on Discord as I'm much more available on there throughout the day than I am here, however you can also add me on Steam as well if you prefer that. We'll see what it is you want added, and as long as I don't see any immediate issues, it shouldn't be a problem!
