Hi I want to make a sniper mod with adjustable zoom and so on. I've already found an example script but I do not know how to use it. I've already tried adding it to my mod.csv but if I do so I can't join any team the console says: "Couldn't find ui_mp/menu_opfor_mw" or something like that. I can post the script here if you want me to do so,but the script is taken from a mod ( I am only using it to learn how to add scripts I do not want to steal it) and so it should work correctly.

did you make your folders and drop the files in?
"Couldn't find ui_mp/menu_opfor_mw" is because there is no file or folder in your mod!!! (i think)
here is the zoom script for CoD:MW

#include maps\mp\_utility;

#include maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_util;

{
 self.zoomtextstring = "Press [{+activate}] to switch zoom!";

 precacheString( self.zoom_0_string );
 self.zoom_1_string = "2x";
 precacheString( self.zoom_1_string );
 self.zoom_2_string = "4x";
 precacheString( self.zoom_2_string );
 self.zoom_3_string = "8x";

I have fixed the menu bug now it was caused by the z_mod.iwi so it had nothing to do with the zoom script. Can you tell me where I have to put the zoom script to get it working ?

go to where ever you have your cod4 installed the go to raw then maps then mp then gametypes look for tdm.gsc put that in modname/maps/mp/gametypes if folder is not there make them
then open it with notepad or whatever you use i would recommend using notepad++ and look for onSpawnPlayer() and at the end put
thread maps\mp\gametypes\_zoom::main();
so it should look like this

onSpawnPlayer()
{
	spawnPoints = maps\mp\gametypes\_spawnlogic::getTeamSpawnPoints( self.pers["team"] );
	spawnPoint = maps\mp\gametypes\_spawnlogic::getSpawnpoint_DM( spawnPoints );

	self spawn( spawnPoint.origin, spawnPoint.angles );
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\snipermod_zoom::main();
	
}

this works in cod5 so it should work XD

and then drag the _zoom.gsc into /maps/mp/gametypes and then compile should work XD

Ok the script is working so far, but I can not use all the zoom levels all except the last 3 are working. How can I get the last 3 ones working ?

You have to add in the raw weapon files for each sniper, open the raw files up in notepad or something, and search for adsZoomFov .... and after the /slash ... change the number to 0
