see the way they did it was that cod4 custom maps have to be run as a mod. Technically speaking the map ur making is custom and not stock ( did not come with teh game ) so it is a mod. but like i said you MUST run a mod to use a loadscreen; but if u just want to run ur map without an actual mod just the map itself create a blank folder inside the mods folder and call it w/e u want. just remember that when u use the command line option u must use the same name that you gave that folder. so it would be like this:


mods/new_folder


use custom command line options:
+set fs_game mods/new_folder


new_folder will contain nothing. but as far as the other folder ( usermaps/mp_mapname ) it still must contain those 3 things mentioned in my previious post.

edited to make sure that you place a blank folder inside the mods folder not hte usermaps folder

well, the level loads, but i'm still not getting the mini-map to load up! :\

edited on Apr. 4, 2011 08:39 pm by alifebythesword

Nevermind!! It finally loaded up! wooo! but aww man, i was running around using the map, and found that it was totally off from the snapshot I took! :\ One thing I saw on the maps they had for CoD4 was that the maps had no perspective to them. They took a screenshot with an ingame orthograpic view! is there anyway to simulate that in game so I can have an exact representation of the map? or is this going to be a hit a miss process on getting the map lined up correctly?

Anyways, thanks again for everyones help so far! you guys have been awesome!! Anyone want to play test it?

Just make sure your minimap corners are in a perfect square around the playing area.

Draw a brush that covers the area that is perfectly square to put your corners at if that helps ya.

As far as a transparent minimap...There are tutorials out there that will show you how to do that.

Heres one:

In case you don't want to go to the gamefront website, I just got my map approved as a beta map in the CoD 4 MP beta section.

Here is the link:

Please feel free to send me any feedback on the map. I want to really flush out the design and make it as fun as possible.

One way to fix your minimap problem.

1. Make 100% sure that your minimap corners are the same distance apart. Meaning, a perfect square.

2. Crop your snapshot perfectly within the outlines given on the snapshot.

3. When you have completed work on your image, and is flattened. The largest side of the image should be [768]. The other side should be close enough and not to be messed with. [Image > Image Size] In photoshop.

Step 3 is the most important part of your conversion. This is the way I do it and it is close enough to exact, without cutting corners.

well, I just wanted to get the map file in there, but decided not to perfect it until I'm satisfied with the design of the map! Thanks for the 411 though. That'll definitely come in handy later on!

ok... I have absolutely no idea what the hell just happened. I have been working on my map for the past day. Got a lot done.. I saved the work, go to compile it and run it, and when I get in the map, it shows me the map that I had finished from last night/ this morning. When I go to open the map in the editor, its the level from this morning. I had saved multiple times, and had never opened any other map today besides this one. How the hell did this happen? Is there any way to get the work back? What's going on?????? Please HELP!!!!

edited on Apr. 7, 2011 01:19 am by alifebythesword

So i figured the problem out... apparently the reason it was messing up was because I didn't open the tools as an administrator! I reopened the map again as an admin, and bam! my map was back to being normal! no lost work!! isn't that weird though???

the best way to help you is for u to provide us with the error in your map as it loads. do this by running the map with "developer", "developer_script" and enabled cheated checked on the bottom right before u hit run box. usually an error will pop up when it loads. take a screenshot of it and then post it up here. if possible post the log. the log would be 1 of 2 places


1. in the mod folder ( if u ran the map with a mod )
2. In the cod4/main folder ( mp_console.log- for mp and console.log for sp )
