The Forge's prop brush now covers every prop in the game, all 1,361 of them: barrels, barricades, ruins, fences, crates, wells and the rest.

Barricades for sixteen factions and creep types, three variants each, from sharpened stakes and stone troughs to bone spikes and scrap fences

What you can do with them

  • Rotate, scale and pick a variant for each prop you place.
  • Place them off the grid, and put several on one tile. You can build a cluttered market or a half-collapsed wall now.
  • See the real thing. Placed props show as their actual 3D models in the editor, so what you build is what players get.

Also in the Forge

  • Time of day carries into the match. Set a map to night, or how fast its day goes by, and that's what players get.
  • Weather, sky and lighting settings save with the map but aren't drawn in matches yet.

If you want to know how the props are made, there's a write-up in A thousand map props, built in code. Post what you build in Share your map WIPs.
