I have everything working other than it writing to a file. It actually shows the code in the console, but it would be hard to use and find in the log file.

However, it still tries to use the _createfx.gsc from the common.ff file. I cannot figure out how to make it use the one in raw\maps\.

the code:
Quote:
/#
filenum = openfile("mydome.txt", "write");
fprintln(filenum, "WRITING WORKS!");
closefile(filenum);
println("^1#^2#^3#^4 FILE WRITTEN ^5#^6#^7#");
#/

it wrote FILE WRITTEN in color to console, so it took my modified .gsc (i used ber1). but i can't find the file in any of the 3 folders: local appdata, my files, cod5 installation path.

you'll find function name strings like "openfile" in both, mp and sp. but the function code seems to be truncated. I presume they left empty function stubs in it to avoid "unknown function" errors.

my conclusion: the file functions doesn't work at all with retail exe.

So sparks has a developer version than? could that be even possible that he took that home with him since its worth "millions"?? I doubt that.

Maybe he could just talk about it or post his video that he had on his xifire on how to use it!

If indeed he took a dev executable home with him, that would not be the whole engine, so your remark about it being worth millions is in error.

I suggest you google "game engine", or look it up on Wikipedia, and educate yourself. You will see that a game engine is made up of a whole set of sub-engines. It isnt one homogenious whole, and an executable certainly doesnt equate to "the engine". It is the source code used to compile things like the executable that is worth millions. (before id Software released the Quake 3 engine source code for free, it normally cost a studio $1.5 million to license it from them. And that was back in 2002. Licensing a game engine now in line with inflation would be considerably more I would imagine)

Well, I thought I was answering your question:

Why am I here? Because I like modding, and I like helping people. How about you? Do you think making snotty remarks to people who have done nothing but try to help you is what "being here" is all about?

As to a "solution" to the question - I think Sevenz has shown conclusively that the dev MP executable isnt in the retail copy of WaW. The only question left seems to be whether or not Sparks has a different SP executable to the one we have from the retail copy, which he brought home with him (which I doubt, but you never know), as he is apparently the only one who has ever gotten the createfx dev menu to open.

Only he can answer that question.
