ok ive been all over to forums and everbody has a differnt way but they did not work start out go to your server, go to ftp,open cod4 ,open main now in your "main" create a folder called "usermaps" in there make folder "mp_mymap"(mp_subway) not"mp_subway_beta" or "subway" spell same as ff file !! this should be the path cod4/main/usermaps/mp_mymap inside put all ff_file ff_file_load and iwd (some have only ff files thats ok) make differnt folders for every map!! now restart server they will now show up in map select screen !! they will work and download just like cod2 (it makes a folder on your game next to your main that ok) your game is differnt than public servers ok now to get it to work on your www downloader do this make a folder "cod4" open it make a folder "usermaps" open it make a folder for each map "mp_mymap" upload to your map in to the named map folder need new folder for every map this work's for modded servers and i am working on the none modded servers and will update when i figer it out servers next good luck edited on Jan. 29, 2008 03:49 pm by COLMAC

ok update still having problems with the ff file only maps but the maps that have the ff, ff load, and iwd work fine second these maps will run on stock servers just add the gametype war map mp_mymap to the server rotation line and it will show up in your rcon map change ps i use HLSW 1.2.0.2

In your server config running from your mod server folder, include this line of script..... // Client Download Settings. (0=off/1=on) Used for MODs and custom maps set sv_allowdownload "1" seta sv_wwwDownload "1" seta sv_wwwBaseURL "http://www.yourdomainname.com/cod4" seta sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0" My clan and I spent well over 3 hours trying to understand this only to find that // was in front of sv_wwwBaseURL Talk about frustration!!! The files go on your game server under... cod4/usermaps/mp_nameofmap/mp_nameofmap.ff On your download server... www.yourdomainname.com/cod4/usermaps/mp_nameofmap/mp_nameofmap.ff edited on Jan. 29, 2008 05:52 pm by mckarfur

yes i was about to update that if your running a mode its just like the tut but i have none modded servers as well so to run on stock servers you only need the usermaps in the cod4 next to main cod4/usermaps yes that easy make folders of your map name ! then put all files in . modded servers in your main cod4/main/usermaps ( please note that i have only got maps that have ff, load_ff and iwd to work ) edited on Jan. 29, 2008 06:02 pm by COLMAC

COLMAC do u realize that whatever u r talking about only 20% of the noobs are getting it? or may be less...no offense man. but u see its so frustrating when 100 ppl write the same stuff but without making it simple. again i apologize for saying that but what servers what ftp r u talking about? and also what modded servers and what not. if u know what u r doing plz make a video tutorial and end our misery. i've been oh this topic for several days and all i learned is "usermaps" ".ff" and recently "moded servers" and who knows what else i'll learn to make myself more confused.

I agree.. Also, this statements is FALSE! Quote: modded servers in your main cod4/main/usermaps You don't add nothing in the main folder!!!!!!!

I've tried to get custom maps to work on our pam4 modded server for like FOREVER. I've read different things in different forums... but none of them works! Man it's frustrating! Can some one plz explain in the simpliest way how to get custom maps and fast map downloading to work? We in our clan, we rent a server from game-hosting.com and the ftp looks like this (picture below). Where do I make what folder and where do I put in which files (.ff, _load.ff, .iwd). Also, is there any commands I have to put in the server.cfg in order for the fast map downloading to work? Thanks in advance. EDIT: Does this go in the server.cfg? set sv_allowdownload "1" seta sv_wwwDownload "1" seta sv_wwwBaseURL "ftp://ip_goes_here/cod411203/" edited on Jan. 29, 2008 11:37 pm by Improved
