Hi all,

I'm really new in the CoD4 modding, but I have made a mod for JediAcademy, so I know a lot of things....now I want to edit the menu files, that's good too, I have problem only with the compiling to ff.
Do I need to use CoD4 Mod Builder? And what files should I put there, except the menu files? Because if I make one with menu files, that's about 6 KB, and the game can't show the menus normally...but the 'base' ff file is 34 KB, and that's working.
I really need help, thatks the all answers:)

you don't need the mod builder, you can also use a batch script for instance:

Mods\yourmod\makeMod.bat

Code:
@echo off
rem [by CoDEmanX]

set srcpath=%cd%
set binpath=..\..
set modname=mod
set lang=english

rem 7za a -r -tzip %modname%.iwd maps
rem 7za a -r -tzip %modname%.iwd weapons

echo.
echo __________________________________________________________
echo.

rem (example for how to copy a whole folder from your mod dir to raw)
rem xcopy ui_mp %binpath%\raw\ui_mp /SY

copy /Y %modname%.csv %binpath%\zone_source
echo.
cd %binpath%\bin
linker_pc.exe -language %lang% -compress -cleanup %modname%
cd %srcpath%
copy %binpath%\zone\%lang%\%modname%.ff
del %binpath%\zone\%lang%\%modname%.ff

echo __________________________________________________________
echo.
echo Done.
echo.

pause


Mods\yourmod\mod.csv (example):
menufile,ui_mp\scriptmenus\class.menu

What you wrote, that's the iwd converting? That's working my fine, only the ff is bad for me :P

"menufile,ui_mp\scriptmenus\class.menu"

Ohh, I wrote rawfile :O
Maybe it's the problem. I'll try it now, thanks :D

//Later/

Hmm...it looks it's size is good now...only the server is crashing...so it start to load my mod...and only load, and doesn't do anything....it was then too, when I tried to upload the common_mp.ff. But with the base ModWarfare's ff is working, and the other mods' ff files too.
Do you know why it is?

Thanks:)

Hmm...I catched the error:

"Exceeded limit of 640 'menu' assets"

But I didn't add new item to the menus.txt, I only edited a few menu file.

//Later again/

I deleted a few menu files, so now it works...

My last ask is: I want to save that, to what weapons was changed by the player...but the Create Class isn't good, because on the modded servers we are on the 1st level, so we can't change the all, only a few things...and if we join for this server, we can change our class (it's good), but next time, when the player will join to the server again, he must to change his weapons again....so can I fix one of these two?
