BSP file question Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping So, when the IWD tutorial says place your .bsp files in an mp folder which is in a maps folder which is in a map_mapname folder where does that .bsp come from?

How do i make stairs? Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping An alternative, though maybe not as fun , would be to use one big block and "clip" stairs out of the block with the clipper tool.
