build your template as a standard level (.3dt file). save it and put it in your templates folder.

In menu Build -> Compile... ???
If yes then Error Message:

** BSP Compile Version: 15

--- Remove Hidden Leafs ---

Failed to remove hidden leafs.
Compile Failed: GBSP_CreateBSP encountered an error, GBSPLib.Dll.


P.S.: Which is the directory standard of templates or I must define the place (and where to define)?

I think you mean prefabs. The listbox right beside the buttons for the basic primitives shows any prefabs you may have on hand. You do not have to compile to create a prefab. The errors you show are from trying to compile a level without the 2 needed entities player start and player set up.

So: To create a prefab, you just need to build an object in the editor, then save it as a .3DT file in a folder named objects right here: C\:Reality Factory\media\objects (you will have to create the 'objects' folder)

Then, when you open the editor, this primitive will be there to just select and place in your level.

It's also possible to select the things you want as a prefab and then use 'add new LibObject' (in rfedit) or 'New PrefabBrush' (in RFEditPro) in the 'tools'-menu. Then a dialog box pops out where you can enter the name of the template.
