Did you put the entdefs pk3 into the main folder? I guess you forgot that.

Put the entdefs.pk3 from the MoHRadiant directory which you downloaded into your ea games\mohaa\main. If all fails, check your path of which you set up MoHRadiant in the preferences menu. The paths should be all default of your mohaa directory, and the place where you installed MoHRadiant.

Ok folksheresthe soulution for us noobs.
1. open MOHAARadiant like youre going to start a map.
2. click on edit/prefrences
3. look at the bottom of the info screen that pops up and make sure that the prefab path is as follows c:\pregram files\mohaa\main must be like that.
4. then make sure that the entdefs.pak3 file is in THAT folder. then shut down radiant and start it back up and you are all set.

I dissagree:

3. The prefab path can be where ever you like if you use any prefabs. When you first start out there are none. It would be best to not have them in your 'MOHAA\main' folder.

4. Make sure that entdefs.pk3 in the 'MOHAA/main' folder

Prefabs are great for saving time when you create maps. For instance, you have created a wonderful ladder in your map that you will want to use in your next map. Here's how to make it a prefab for later use.

1. Select all the brushes that make up your ladder.
2. Press the space bar to duplicate it.
3. Move the new copy close to 0, 0, 0 in your map.
4. Go to 'File / Save To Prefab...' and give it nice name.
5. Once this is done, press backspace to delete that copy.

Now when you work on a new map and want that wonderful ladder, you can, 'File / Load Prefab...', select it and it will show up at 0, 0, 0 in your map.
