hi im am trying to add a loadscreen to my map
i followed this tutorail but i have a problem
when i run the converter there are two errors (dont know whichones he just says completed with 2 errors)
the tut says that he would crate a file called mp_[levelname].csv (in my case mp_checkpointcharlie.csv)
but he doesnt :(
that is probally the reason why it doesnt work
when i create that file manualy it doesnt work neither... what can i do to fix that?
i hope you can help me

Wel actually the csv doesn't have to do much with it. Why it's giving you that error: I really don't now?! However you could try to compile it with the following gdt file:

Just copy the code above into a text editor or notepad and save it in your source_data folder. Just call it: whatever.gdt (No txt but gdt at the end of the file!)

Description:
In the gdt file (for the asset_manager) is a material for your loadscreen and there is a level for the csv file you want. But you need to look good the csv file isn't in the maps/mp folder but in the maps folder!

read the loadscreen tutorial in the codWAW section, its got more detail

some isnt relevant but it got mine working

first of all thx to u two!
scillman that method doesnt work :(
i tried that utorial but it doesnt work neither!
when i compile the fast file it says this:
when it compiles the mp_checkpointcharlie:
ERROR Couldn' t find material' loadscreen_mp_checkpointcharlie
ERROR failed loading loadscreen_mp_checkpointcharlie of type material
and when he compiles the mp_checkpointcharlie_load:
ERROR Couldn' t find material' loadscreen_mp_checkpointcharlie
i dont know where i have to put witch file to fix that

That means the files properly doesn't exist. It simple means their is an error when trying to compile it in the asset_manager! (select the material line and click convert only BUT watch the pop-up on your screen for errors!)

yea you were right!
there were 2 errors i fixed one but for the otherone i need your help
the pc compiler says it couldnt load files in the materialfactory(something like that)... could someone load up this direktory somewere? for example on rapidshare.com? that would be great!
i hope that will solve my problem
thx for helping

sry for double poast but i think i have to add what i forgott to say...
materialfactory is a direktory in [root]

i found out the exat file missing...
l_[hsm|sm]_r0r0_b1c1n1s1.template
i just need that file where do i get it? could someone load it up???
would be great

and it says: cod4 moding\materialfactory/l_[hsmsm]_r0r0_b1c1n1s1.template
why / and not\

Well I'm sorry I don't know that except for the fact that I don't have that folder and it's files and it works perfect over here.

I'm really sorry.

no problem but thx for helping me!
does somebody know the reason why my compiler needs files that aren t existing?! how can i fix that(i already reinstalled the modtools)
well... a loadscreen isn t that important. is it?
(i am looking forward to the minimap^^)
