Hi all, im looking for a person/people that could kindly try and test my dedicated server. Its been running for 2 days, doesnt appear on cod4master server list and therefore doesnt appear in the " join " list in the game, but does show on my lan. Basically if you would take 5 mins to help, go into cod4 and on the main menu screen, hit the tilde key ( console ) thats the button on the left on the number 1 key on your keyboard lol, and then simply type this in and press enter.... connect 82.44.26.224 it should download 2 .ff map files and a mod that holds my compass and loadscreen. it works on my lan, but i have no way of seeing if it is possible for somebody else to connect. Any help would be greatfully appreciated, so if youve got 5 mins, heres my email address shimmm@blueyonder.co.uk thanx

Thankyou Major John, for bothering, most kind. Thats the error message i get also on my other pc while the cave is running on my server. The only way to sort that is to drop the 2.ff files into zone/english and then it allows entry. But thanks again for your time. If, by any chance you fancy downloading the map manually, visit my 2 page website - theres a zip file and instructions on how to get it working - only takes a few minutes. Regards Simeon

The map files should be cleaned. There's a tons of craps in it. Also the structure of the files are wrong.

Thanks for the info, helpful. Ive been trying for months reading all sorts of posts on how to package the maps etc, and have tried EVERY different possibility going. The last one - which is the zip fie on my website was zipped up as per instructions from a guy called Rabbit at infinityward.com. ref: http://www.infinityward.com/community/forum/index.php?topic=19540.30 I just downloaded the zip file from the website and opened it up okay - 2 .ffs and 1 .iwd. Unzip the .iwd and that gives all the bits ive been told are required such as images folder containing loadscreen and compass .iwi, and other files etc Who do i listen to? Whose correct ? i even tried on my server to make 1 folder called mods, out the 2 .ffs in there with an iwd JUST containing 1 folder images, which contained loadscreen and compass, but that wouldnt connect. Did the same by changing the mods folder to usermaps and that didnt work. Been going round and round and round and each time someone has problems - cant find ONE simple answer as to how to package it all. Nemo.....what do you mean by " cleaned " ? and whats the tons of crap ? do you mean the .gsc files etc ? Major John... cant download the zip ? from the website ? right click on it and save target as ...... once downloaded .... everythings there ? And Again, Thankyou for your help, most kind.

This is the map structure: ###################################### mp_mapname.zip Inside it you need to have: Your readme; a ( folder )mp_mapname that should contains: mp_mapname.ff mp_mapname_load.ff and mp_mapname.iwd ------------------------ In mp_mapname.iwd, all you need to add is: ( folder )images: with loadscreen, compass and custom iwis' ( folder )sound: if you used custom sounds ( .mp3 and .wav ) ####################################### Now download your file, here on modsonline. Check the structure and you'll find: mp_mapname.zip; Inside the zip you'll find a mods folder, a usermaps folder and a readme with a double extension. Inside the mods folder, you'll find another folder mp_mapname. Inside this folder you'll find another mp_mapname.zip. Inside this zip you'll find an images folder and a maps folder. What's inside the images folder is ok. The maps folder is not necessary. Since the 1.5 patch, all files go in the usermaps folder with the structure I put above. All the rest won't be read by the game engine ( .gsc, .arena, csv, etc ) Csvs' should be fast filed. edited on Apr. 26, 2008 01:24 pm by Nemo06c
