Maya units setup Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping From what I've been reading, it doesn't sound like making a building in maya (or max) is worth it, building it out of brushes is actually pretty quick, and the UV & collision work are done automatically. Plus it sounds like it will compile faster & bette... [more]	5	1894	Feb 23, 2008 05:33 am by swordinstone
Technical advice needed for my map pls Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I've got a couple things I'm a little unsure about, so I made some screen shots to help explain. I've read a lot of the tutorials and have a pretty good understanding on most of this stuff, but wanted to get advice on a couple of areas specific to a map ...

I need some simple Maya Help Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping You should make sure your unit settings in maya match those in max... make sure you set your system units in max... display doesnt really matter. Check your export & import settings in both programs settings for possible problems there too. (are you usi... [more]	3	642	Feb 22, 2008 08:21 pm by swordinstone
cod4/solidworks Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping can you export the mesh out of solid works as an .obj? Maya has a plugin to import obj's, but I believe its turned off by default, so check in preferences to turn it on, then you should be able to import the obj... if you set up the export correctly it...

Continuing to learn Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I definately recommend the video tuts you find in the CoD1 section, wyatt's tuts are very informative, and the basics havent changed really so they still apply.... [more]	5	2202	Feb 21, 2008 09:02 am by swordinstone
maya models vs. brushes Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping cool, thx, I figure if the object is something someone might be using for cover a more detailed collision mesh is worthwhile to avoid those clipping errors (bullets appearing to be blocked by nothing)...

? on what is a good map size for mp Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I've been setting up a mp map also, and want it to be slightly larger than an average stock map. What I did was bring in a car and a soldier model to have a basis of scale. I then built my road around 2 cars side by side to get a good idea of how wide i...

maya models vs. brushes Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping What are the general rules for collision meshes built outside of radiant (in maya or elsewhere)? I know for unreal they have to be a closed mesh, and cannot be concave... If they need a cavity, they should be broken up into pieces that are individually c...

MP maps lockup... SP maps work Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I did a reinstall here at home and ran into the problem again... I suspect it to be some setting in my profile (copied it over from old version) I ended up loading in safe mode, reconfiging my video, and trying again... and now it works... figures it w...

MP maps lockup... SP maps work Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Well, I just installed the game & tools on my machine here at work and there was no problems, so it looks like I'll either have to find the rouge files on my home machine or I'll have to do a reinstall....

MP maps lockup... SP maps work Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Its giving me the locked black screen when I try to "Run Selected Level" out of the compiler tools, like in the video tutorial. I'll post up that log when I get home from work. (assuming I can even get it to a point where it spits out a log) I'll try ... [more]	12	989	Feb 19, 2008 08:37 pm by swordinstone
MP maps lockup... SP maps work Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping The console won't open because the game never really launches... the game window opens but it never gets to a loading screen and doesn't respond at all... the task managers says "not responding" and the cursor is an hourglass. I'll make sure I've got t... [more]	12	989	Feb 19, 2008 06:34 pm by swordinstone
MP maps lockup... SP maps work Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I'm not (intentionally) running any mods while trying to test MP maps... and the "provided MP maps" I ment were the ones that show up in that list when you install the tools (MP_Backlot & MP_Test) All my shortcuts and exes should be default, I haven't ...

MP maps lockup... SP maps work Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Hi Guys, I'm hoping this is a common problem... I have just gone through the video tutorial on the site here "CoD4_101" where you make the basic room, add some lights and spawn points and test it. It works just fine for the single player version of... [more]	12	989	Feb 19, 2008 04:50 pm by swordinstone
