Quote:2.) Where can I find telephone wires (the smaller ones for regular telephone poles)? IIRC, blackout_geo has telephone wires that are built out of brushes near the back end of the map (away from the river).... [more]

The tutorial section is already very accessible: that's why so many people come here. It would be nice to have a more efficient means to search through the forums, but I'm not sure what that would look like. I really like Supersword's idea, but it seem... [more]

It's the mod you're using, not your map. There's a file in mods\modWarfare\maps\mp\gametypes called "_teams.gsc" that isn't set up correctly to run SAS vs. Spetsnaz. Running the map with the "customMaps" mod will solve your problem. If you're running a... [more]

Call of Duty 4 : Offsite Links and Information
Regarding a community patch: would it even be possible to "mod" these exploits into extinction? I've done a lot of different things with the CoD series, but I wouldn't even know where to start on something like that (though it seems you'd have to have ac... [more]

I'm not at all happy about a console being the lead platform, but as good as CoD4 is, I'd also be happy to have my theory about the general crappiness of console ports proven wrong. ... [more]

Call of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Level Design
Thanks for the tip. I have to have some kind of box around the outside of the map, because I have a few models that stick through the main geometry. Apparently, if any light hits a model, brushes don't stop the light from "traveling" all the way to the ... [more]

That's what I was thinking, but I was also concerned about light leaking , because Caulk isn't supposed to block light. I have not, however, run into any problems so far. But, I've noticed that problems sometimes don't present themselves right away, e... [more]

It may be that the map you're playing has custom models in it. I think I remember having this problem with Varaville, as our UO mod had several new models. Try stock maps to see if you still have the problem.... [more]

You'd have to change the all character files (raw\character) for each of the mptypes you want to have the ghillie suit to this: Code:// THIS FILE IS AUTOGENERATED, DO NOT MODIFY main() { self setModel("body_mp_usmc_woodland_sniper"); self attach(... [more]

I ran into the model count problem with grass models at one point. Having a small, open map with good sight lines can compound the problem, even if you portal it well. As much as you'd like to have a carpet of grass (it does look nice in-game), it might... [more]

Evening all. I have an area that I've portalled-off, but the portals don't seem to be working. Parts of some of my walls are curved terrain patches with no brush behind them. I guess my question is: can a terrain patch act as a structural brush, or ... [more]

I'll definitely try that.... [more]

Call of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Level Design
That's helpful information, thanks. As I understand it, lightgrid volume brushes use memory, so I would have liked to avoid using them. But, I don't want an error to pop up later once the map is on a server, so I'll play it safe. Thanks again, Sp... [more]

I've been working on a couple of different maps, and so far, I haven't had to make a lightgrid for two of them. There's no rainbow coloring to any of it when the maps are compiled, and nothing else looks wrong in-game. Is this normal? Or, if it isn't... [more]

I'm new to this myself, but I don't think you should have that model key in your worldspawn settings. Open up your entities editor and delete that key/value. Also, instead of using "r_reflection_color_correction" "mp_farm", you might want to try using: ... [more]

I posted a draft tutorial on this subject a couple of days ago. You can find it here. It's not an easy thing to do, if you do the way I did, but I haven't found a better method yet. You need a mod.csv file, which is basically a zone file, to make you... [more]
