i need help setting it up

this is the Tutorial i was using but i don't get some of it http://wiki.modsrepository.com/index.php/Call_of_Duty_4:_Maya%23Maya_8_plugin_setup

i did the maya.env but i don't have a usersetup.me

You'll have to create the usersetup.mel. This file 'makes' the CoD4 Export toolbar menu in Maya.

This is what mine contains

source CODToolsMenu;
CODStartup;
CODToolsMenu;

Hey i got it working thanks

ok now that im trying to use it i get this / Error: XModelExport plugin is not loaded and i did what i had to do in a hex
as this tut says to do http://wiki.modsrepository.com/index.php/Call_of_duty_4:_Import_models%23Maya_8.0_Fix but still no luck

any help

What Maya version do you have ?
Did you extract the 2 .mll files from the zip archive in [root]/bin/maya/tools ?
Are the paths in maya.env correct ?

im trying to use the Maya8_Plugins

and yes they are the correct paths

Silly question but are you loading the plugins in Maya? Are they set to auto-load?

I only have v7 and this may be a different problem but to get the animation window to work a couple of lines had to be commented out in CODExportAnimationWindow.mel

//source PerforceMaya;
//source CODExportCommon;

Also, the default paths in the mel files was 'trees' in the top level C drive. It would have to be changed to the correct activision folder or just create the 'trees' folder structure yourself. 8 might have fixed that.

In 7 its windows->preferences->pluginmanager.

The env settings might already be taking care of that but it doesnt hurt to check.

i can't find the pluginmanager oh and i did the
//source PerforceMaya;
//source CODExportCommon;

and still no :(
