Well I'm really at a loss; somehow it's not reading your usermaps directory. Without being able to actually sit down and examine your directory structure I can't tell you what's wrong. Typos in your directory structure? Is your cod4 game actually installed in that directory? (E.g., if you got it from steam cod4 is in a different directory). You can go through the process of starting a server on your computer and try running it via server rotation. Not sure how that is done and the IW forums are currently down so I don't have a link on how to do that, but maybe try alternate methods of loading the map.

C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\usermaps is the directory I have the maps in I'd try the IW forums, but they're down :(

OK, hate to sound like a broken record, but the ffs and iwds aren't in usermaps, they are in usermaps\mp_yourmapname\, correct? (You say they are in "usermaps" in your post, just making sure) Also, hate to sound like a broken record again but you didn't get cod4 from steam, correct? There may be a tut on modsonline for setting up a server, AFAIK you basically edit your server.cfg for and just run a simple .bat file that sets up your server to run the maps in a rotation. Although if your getting the error that the maps aren't being found that might not work either... I have a feeling there is something wrong with your directory structure that neither of us are finding.

Nothing's wrong with steam,(I got mine on steam!) but the directory you put the maps in would be in the steam\steamapps\common\call of duty 4\usermaps directory, not activision\.

I have a feeling there is something wrong with your directory structure that neither of us are finding. Yes, each map with the FF's and IWD is in its own folder within usermaps And no, I didn't get it from Steam. It's a regular retail copy. I've even tried it on my laptop for work and it's the same thing. The only map that comes up is test I am truly lost now, because I wanted to test to see if I packaged my map correctly, and I cant even do that if i cant run any user maps

If you are running version 1.5, then I have no idea what is going on as it sounds like you are doing everything right. Like I said it's tough to diagnose this stuff besides the obvious. These issues are usually small errors that get overlooked and are hard to find without being able to look at stuff directly. Does mp_test run when you put it in usermaps\mp_test?

Does mp_test run when you put it in usermaps\mp_test? Yes mp_test does run (although it has that huge red fx bar across the screen)

I had a friend of mine with COD4 load some maps created by users on this forum and he is experiencing the same exact thing. The game is not recognizing the command ~ map mp_usermap of any maps in the /usermaps/ folder. This is so damn frustrating. Why can't it be as easy as Unreal to load a user made map
