i cant find they place where you download the cod4 mapping tools :(.

If your map changes to backlot it means you don't have all the spawn points, you need the tdm spawn and both the axis and allies tdm spawn.

He does not mention the third on the tutorial so i don't know how it worked. So if it does change try that, if it still doesn't work I can't help you

I got a question, I have everything right, but when (on compile tools) I click "launch level editor" it says "Error: could not find the specified file 'C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\bin\CoD4Radiant.exe'." but I do, and I don't know what's wrong.

FOUND OUT A WAY TO GET FULLSCREEN BACK! simply add :
set r_fullscreen 1 to the end of your mp cod4 shortcut. this is my full one:

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" set r_fullscreen 1

Posted by RedFoxJoe on Sat. Oct. 4, 2008

 

Hi, if your map loads the Backlot map instead of your own map. Simply type in console /map mp_YourMapName.

Sometimes it needs to load 2 times !

Please post in the forums for questions related to this and any other files.

I followed the tutorial, all steps were perfect, you guys rock!. However, when I went to test the mp_test2 multiplayer map The mod tool loaded the backlot map! No matter what i do it loads the backlot map. What the heck do I do now?

Thx for helping a mod noob.

Posted by goodinplenty on Wed. Apr. 23, 2008

 

Thanks a ton for this video! It helped greatly in getting used to this new-er (to me) mapping tool. I'm used to Source and the ease to making those maps.

When I first sat down with this tool I was a little disoriented with the windows and options. I'd never used any of the previous COD mapping tools, so I wasn't very familiar.

Now that I know the basics to a map I think I can find myself around and start treading into more intermediate areas of COD4 mapping.

But, don't stop making more videos! These videos are 10x more helpful than a written tut, due to hints left out or not enough screen shots to show in between steps, or the wording is obscure so its hard to understand.

This will greatly help the community so others can teach or answer those questions that get asked so often by new comers.

This is so great! I'm so glad some one took the time to do this Tutorial, i find it really helpful. Thanks

GREAT TUTORIAL! one problem. How come your first shape you did on the 2D grid is just outlined in red. Mine is completely red. INSIDE AND OUT. how do i fix that?

Posted by Domination07 on Thu. Apr. 3, 2008

 

First of all, THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL! It was really great. But one thing... I have the same problem than the previous poster, after I have done my mp map, it first loads my map, and then it instantly loads backlot. What's the problem?

Oh and btw, I had the same problem when I set up a LAN with my friends. We tried some custom maps but on some, it just loaded the map and then went to backlot, just like my first map...

So, any ideas?

EDIT: I even ticked "Use Custom Command Line Options" from the Compile Tools, and typed "+set fs_game Mods/ModWarfare" so it would load modwarfare instead of vanilla cod4... but still didn't work, it loaded my map first and then immediately went to load free-for-all backlot... :/

EDIT2: I have the 1.5 patch and the modtools 1.1 patch installed. O/S is WinXP with latest patches.

EDIT3: Seems like someone else had had this problem too. http://www.codhq.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=2851
Will try that.

Excellent video, I tried a written tutorial and it was very vague, it relied on previous knowledge to get the point across. I followed your tutorial through to the end, and it was extremely helpful. I would, however, like to get some feedback on a problem that occurs when I try to load it: it loads properly, then after the initial screen telling me the next map to play, it loads backlot instead. tried it again, same thing. Tried updating the zone file as well, and no dice...any suggestions?

Great video.It's help me a lot with my moding first steps.Can wait next video.

Posted by miregrobar on Sun. Mar. 2, 2008

 

Wow! This is by far the best tutorial for beginners i've seen so far!
The fact that it is aimed at total noobs is great. I had tried to follow a few other tuts just to get started with mapping in COD4, but had no luck. Followed your excellent tutorial and got it to work on first attempt!
I like the fact that you even point out that there are some errors while compiling, but that one can ignore those for the moment!

Thanks for a truly helpful tut!

hey, for some reason my download wont initiate. help?

** make sure that you allow for pop-ups as the download pops up into a smaller window.

Incredibly helpful with the basics. As I'm a Mac user, I'm actually a WMV-hater (since M$ abandoned WMV support for Mac a while back). I was surprised to see how well H.264 worked for this .mov.

Posted by NSGod on Sun. Feb. 17, 2008

 

I usually don't leave many comment but this is the best video i've seen that was quick, to the point, and also covered you if you somehow made some mistakes. Two thumbs up! :D

Posted by Mirrage318 on Sat. Feb. 16, 2008

 

I like the video but i noticed that after you compiled the bsp your command prompt didn't close immediatly. If you could let me know how to set up cmd properly or which setting in compile tools to change the default behavior of closing immediatly, that would be awesome.

I had a go from scratch myself on the Mod Tools yesterday, without prior knowledge and was completely lost. I'm an old-school Graphic designer and have'nt used 3-D packages before.

But I found this step by step tut fantastic and really easy to follow. Hats off to the narrator for not simply "presuming" everyone has the basics in mapping. I don't but... do now ;-) Brilliant run down and very straight forward. Thank you very much!

how do ya get the movie to work lol

Posted by eotfrost on Sat. Feb. 2, 2008

 

cod4_101 was GREAT. WEll put together to get a new guy or a "Hammer" old timer refreshed on how to get strted from the instal to running a small 1 wall map. He does a great job showing the step by step porcedures needed and what to do /look at when you get some errors.

Hope to see more.

btw... where to I place these files on our server so it will execute the map we created?

Thanks!

Incredibly helpful video! Thank you! (I hate to complain, but the typewriter sounds make it hard to hear you sometimes)

Posted by DrDuKeS on Tue. Jan. 22, 2008

 

Excellent video tutorial and well explained! Video and sound quality is great (some people shouldn't have their voices for tutorials, but yours is good. Reminds me of the linda.com tutorials lol)
One point to add though, although you mention to turn off autosave, you didn't show how to do it for newcomers. (for those who don't know, it's under Edit/Preferences in the radio box at the bottom)
Keep up the good work!

Thank you! It was in the config.cfg in the player profile.

Posted by Pinball on Sun. Jan. 20, 2008

 

IN CONSOLE OR profiles CONFIG look for

r_fullscreen 0
and change it to 1

so its r_fullscreen 1
also mine changed sp config too

Great video tutorial. But now when I play the game it's in a window and when I go to full screen with it it shows the title bar at the top of the screen. Can't figure that one out. Any suggestions?
