So I've read this thread: http://www.modsonline.com/Forums-top-78539.html and even looked at the wiki: http://www.infinityward.com/wiki/index.php/Creating_a_custom_minimap_image even followed a tut over here: (registration required) http://www.infinitytutorials.com/cod4/viewforum.php?f=20 and when I still run selected map, it starts to load and I'm getting an error that it cannot load image compass_map_mp_stargatewarehouse I've created the material, and even tried creating a new gdt file (I loaded levels.gdt and made my materials in there, and it didn't work, per someone's suggestion I tried creating a new gdt (compass_map_mp_stargatewarehouse.gdt) and that still isn't working. I've tried running the map with the mod option checked and unchecked, no dice. I've got the four files created: TGA in raw/materials .file (no extension) in raw/materials .iwi in raw/images .gdt in texture/assets (when I used the levels.gdt it was in\source_data) none of that seemed to work. here's my GSC: main() { maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap("compass_map_mp_stargatewarehouse"); setdvar("compassmaxrange","2000"); //setExpFog(500, 3500, .5, 0.5, 0.45, 0); ambientPlay("ambient_middleeast_ext"); //VisionSetNaked( "mp_vacant" ); game["allies"] = "sas"; game["axis"] = "russian"; game["attackers"] = "axis"; game["defenders"] = "allies"; game["allies_soldiertype"] = "woodland"; game["axis_soldiertype"] = "woodland"; setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" ); setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity0",".1"); setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity1",".1"); setdvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".1"); setdvar("compassmaxrange","1500"); } and here's my .CSv from the Update Zone File option: ignore,code_post_gfx_mp ignore,common_mp ignore,localized_code_post_gfx_mp ignore,localized_common_mp col_map_mp,maps/mp/mp_stargatewarehouse.d3dbsp rawfile,maps/mp/mp_stargatewarehouse.gsc impactfx,mp_stargatewarehouse sound,common,mp_stargatewarehouse,!all_mp sound,generic,mp_stargatewarehouse,!all_mp sound,voiceovers,mp_stargatewarehouse,!all_mp sound,multiplayer,mp_stargatewarehouse,!all_mp xmodel,body_mp_usmc_specops xmodel,head_mp_usmc_tactical_mich_stripes_nomex xmodel,body_mp_usmc_sniper xmodel,head_mp_usmc_tactical_baseball_cap xmodel,body_mp_usmc_recon xmodel,head_mp_usmc_nomex xmodel,body_mp_usmc_assault xmodel,head_mp_usmc_tactical_mich xmodel,body_mp_usmc_support xmodel,head_mp_usmc_shaved_head xmodel,body_mp_arab_regular_cqb xmodel,head_mp_arab_regular_headwrap xmodel,viewhands_desert_opfor xmodel,body_mp_arab_regular_sniper xmodel,head_mp_arab_regular_sadiq xmodel,body_mp_arab_regular_engineer xmodel,head_mp_arab_regular_ski_mask xmodel,body_mp_arab_regular_assault xmodel,head_mp_arab_regular_suren xmodel,body_mp_arab_regular_support xmodel,head_mp_arab_regular_asad rawfile,vision/mp_stargatewarehouse.vision material,compass_map_mp_stargatewarehouse it should be noted I don't have a .vision file nor do I have a loadscreen yet, however before I attempted the minimap, I was able to launch the game and play the map.. what am I missing? I'll even make a recording if someone wants and youtube it if that'll help..

I even tried to uncehck the option to run with a mod and still not working. I just don't get it. I went through another tutorial I found, and it's still not working.

I have this exact same problem. However, I do have a VISION file. I don't have a loadscreen, though. I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I don't have an IWD. All of my resources are located in the raw folder (including the minimap files).

All of my resources are located in the raw folder (including the minimap files). Looks like you are running Vista as well? I wonder if that has something to do with it. Also I'm running a version of the game downloaded via Steam, not installed off of the CDs, so mine doesn't reside in the Activision folder, it's in a Steam/steamapps/common/COD4/blah blah lblah folder. I wonder if that has anything to do with the issues I'm encountering as well..

I just fixed mine. It turns out the game will only read minimaps if they're in your IWD.

In the mod folder? did you make a map folder under your usermaps? One of the tuts says to put the iwd in the mod folder (custommaps in this case) and it still didn't work.. edited on Sep. 7, 2008 07:59 pm by Wiseass

My map (mp_road) has the following stuff: usermaps/mp_road/mp_road.ff usermaps/mp_road/mp_road_load.ff usermaps/mp_road/mp_road.iwd In the IWD: images/compass_map_mp_road.iwi images/loadscreen_mp_road.iwi maps/mp_road.csv mp/mp_road.arena soundaliases/mp_road.csv

okay, I don't get it. When playing the game through the mod tools, I got the minimap to work by putting the iwd I made into the mod folder. Great, it works! I'll package it and play it! so I took the two FF files, the IWD and zipped em up, removed ALL of the development files (csv, gsc, etc) from the COD folder, and made a usermaps\mp_stargatewarehouse folder, and put the three files in there (ff and iwd) loaded up multiplayer, started mod, started on killhouse, opened console, typed /map mp_stargatewarehouse, loads about 1/4 of the bar and then tells me it can't find compass_map_mp_stargatewarehouse WTF is going on? I thought the IWD wasn't supposed to be in the mod folder? Okay, whatever, I'll try it, moved the iwd to the mod folder, same error. I've got plenty of other iwd's in usermaps folders that work fine. What am I doing wrong?

Dangit, still having issues. Can I send someone the FF and IWD file and see if they can load it? Maybe it's my machine? I dunno, it worked when I had the IWD in the mod folder, why doesn't it work when its in the usermap folder?
