Well there should be a preview of most of the models/prefabs when you select the prefab/model to insert. Failing that there is a collection of model pics over at the BPU Site.... [more]

Call of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Scripting
I can't really think of a way to achieve this, but quite frankly, I wouldn't tell if I knew as this sounds like a way to try cheating by double firing or something. I can't really understand a practical use for this other than attempting to cheat.... [more]

Instead of trying to rotate the brush 45 degree's move the brush edges so that they create a 45degree brush. You can edit the edges of a brush by hitting the 'E' key and dragging the blue vertex corners to make the brush perfectly angled. Try making th... [more]

Call of Duty 4 : MODSCON - ALL
Well I must admit this news has saddened me somewhat. Winning by default does not have the same prestige unfortunately. I'll take solace in the fact that I was declared a winner before it came to light that the other entries were ineligible. It i... [more]

Call of Duty 2 : CoD2 Custom Map Releases
Thought I would drag this post out of the archives. Was just talking to someone who was planning to create a U-boat map for CoD4 the other day and was telling them about this map. I decided to hunt it out again and see if there was any updates on it, ... [more]

Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 Custom Map Releases
I wanted to create a map that allowed the player to have a different playing experience to a standard map, in that they can quickly switch between Close Quarter Battles at ground level to ambushing unsuspecting players from above or sniping across the map... [more]

Open up the container prefabs that you have used and delete the decal brush that has 'C26' on it and re-save. Don't think those missing materials are the cause of your problem, but try it and see. If they are the cause I am sorry for any inconvenience.... [more]

Call of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Scripting
Ok I understand what you want now, but unfortunately I'm not sure if it is possible. I've never seen it done before, but if you have seen it on an existing Mod you could try looking at the code or talking to the creator. Hopefully someone else can s... [more]

Have you created any prefab buildings etc that may contain reflection probes? If so check the probes in the prefab and make sure it is not in contact with anything there either. I leave probes and lights out of my prefabs, and add them to my map file ... [more]

Call of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Level Design
Do you have any mods in your CoD4 folder? Try removing them, looks like they might be causing the tools to look for a material that doesn't exist. Have you tried opening any other maps such as the stock maps? The problem could quite well be something i... [more]

Call of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Level Design
It may be possible in the same .gsc like CoD2, but the way IW did it on the stock maps was to create a mp_yourmapname_fx.gsc in the mp folder that defines which FX to load. Then in the maps folder they created a new folder createfx which contained anothe... [more]

They are FX. Check the FX folder in the CoD4/raw/ to see all the FX you can use. I think there are FX for blowing paper and leaves in the CoD4/raw/fx/misc/ You will need to create 2 extra .gsc files to load the FX into your map, one to define the FX... [more]
