IWDCall of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Level DesignHow is this different than what I said? Putting the images folder into a
compressed folder (zip) is the same, isn't it? Or are you saying to make a

rename the zip folder to .iwd?... [ more] |

zip archive iwdCall of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Level DesignI just tried what you suggested, but it doesn't work. Could you go into a
little more detail? Which customMaps folder? The one in
players\profiles\*name*\mods or the one in Mods?
I still get the error.
