Official Resources

Superboss Games have provided the map-making community with a bunch of assets that greatly aid with the development of maps. A large number of these can be found inside the IntruderMM package by default in the form of prefabs and scripts, but there are more available for download in the MM google drive:

Name Usage Download
Player Models The player models are useful to get the right proportion and height of your maps, resulting in a better looking and feeling map. I would recommend downloading the player skins package is well to put materials on the player model in unity and to make sure the player models don't get in the way of players in-game, make sure to use the EditorOnly tag on them. You can also have a custom intruder and guard skin using the Custom Map Skins Script. Download
Door Package The Door Package allows map makers to use the doors found in the official maps. Download

Community Resources

The community has made many props and prefabs that are free to share and reuse in your own maps. Some are listed here.

Unity Plugins

These plugins can greatly improve your workflow for level design, shader development, and lighting! Make sure to put these in a folder named Plugins from the root directory of the assets folder or else they will highly likely not work.

SabreCSG Free Level Design SabreCSG is included in the MapMaker package, so you don't need to download or import any other version. It's the most popular level editing plugin-in in the community due to it being free, open-source and easy to use. SabreCSG allows users to make maps using brush geometry similar to editors such as Valve's Source SDK Hammer.
RealtimeCSG Free Level Design RealtimeCSG is the Realtime equivalent of SabreCSG only less accurate and doesn't break all the time. It's a bit tricky to install, you have to extract all the contents then only grab the RealtimeCSG/Assets/Plugins/RealtimeCSG folder then drag that into the Plugins folder you made before to install plugins. RealtimeCSG allows users to make maps using brush geometry similar to editors such as Source SDK Hammer in Realtime. Download
