Hey guys, Long time no see. Though I figured i wanted to make a CoD4 map.. Or at least try it. Well I downloaded the mapping tool but when i want to test my lvl, it goes to Backlot. Any idea why it does this? - I also can't run any MP maps via the cod4 compiler.. (i dunno if that's normal?) I have downloaded the .RAR mapping tools of CoD4.. I don't know if that could give this problem? - My lvl has no errors so I can't figure out what causes this. Thanks, Greetings, Tom.

Quote: ERROR When I load my map it switches to backlot. SOLUTION This means that you do not have ALL of the requirements for a TDM map. TDM is the default mp map type and if all of the spawns are not there, it will skip the map. Ensure that you have, at minimum, a TDM spawn, a TDM allied spawn and a TDM axis spawn.

do the strange colors look somehow like this? if so, we're having the same problem. i've posted a few topics back about that. anyway, hope someone knows the solution

Ya know, idont what the deal is with this rainbow coloring..I see alot of posts saying, add reflection probe, compile reflections, add light grid, u may have a leak, blah...Let me say this: I am on my 3rd map & 2 have been run on a server.. I have not made a light grid yet & in the current map I have not added a reflection probe nor compiled reflections..I had the rainbow colors for the first compile & test, then it went away...So I have seen many explanations on this prob but, I dont know what the real fix is...

Daemon, your link doesn't work for me.. but if you mean you have a rainbow of colors at your weapon, then yes, we have the same problem.. and Kmabigtime, you have been lucky then.. 'cause a lot seem to have the problem then.. don't they? Anyone knows a solution?
