I was messing with the procedure on how to make a loadscreen and managed to get it working,but the only problem is that when i go to start new server and select my map,i cant see the loadscreen.
I would assume that in order to display something there, i need to do something more ? What am I missing ? My .iwd file is made according the tutorial :)

Is this in menu you don,t see loadingscreen or when the map

loads up...because in menu you won,t see loadingscreen like the

stock maps...for same unknown reason .....[to me anyway]

Got it. I checked the file names of the iwi and material file of the loadscreen of another map and the name started with loadscreen_mp_yourmapname. According to the "how to make a loadscreen" in the cod2 tutorials section, it said you should write loadingscreen_mp_yourmapname and not "loadscreen". Kind of weird, but it worked for me when I changed it. Just letting you know in case someone else reads the tutorial and comes across the same issue.

Hi again, I need some help as I didn't actually find an answer for this.
I made a map with a fountain somewhere(according to the tutorial and a house also). Now if I want to save that fountain only, which has water texture in it, what do I have to do? I want to use the same fountain in another map so I won't make it from scratch again.Also, when I import it, is it gonna come with the water texture or should I add that again? I believe this will be a prefab, but what is actually a prefab?
I tried selecting the fountain and then File>save selected only
then misc>prefab in the 2d grid but there were only red lines forming the shape of the made fountain. [ohwell]

If you want to save this prefab for another map within the same game you don't need to do anything but add it

If you want to port your prefab over to a diffrent COD title then you will need to caulk it and then save it as the other game wont recognize the textures.

As far as the red lines I haven't seen this before...maybe someone else has though.

A prefab is simply something you built that you group together for use in other maps. basically what u just described. and yes the water texture and everything else will show. how u make a prefab is easy: 1. select the entire fountain and nothing else
2. save as/prefabs/fountain1
3. misc/prefabs/fountain1 on the grid screen and then ur fountain will b there all grouped together.
