Can someone confirm that the steps listed in the tutorial done by techno2sl Here is all that is needed? It seems really simple and for the life of me I cannot get my ctf to work.

Here is the text of the tutorial for simplicity:

techno2sl explains how to make various gametypes available for play with your custom map.
Gametypes:


Capture the Flag - or CTF (no scripting)

Right click you 2d grid/plan view, select misc>prefab

A browser window should open showing the folder location:

c:/program files/activision/call of duty 2/map source/prefabs (this is my directory you may have something like this but

under a different drive name- the folder structure should be exact though).

From the mini browser window, select the folder: "MP"

Now select: "ctf_flag_axis.map" - place this where you would like the axis flag to be.

(make sure you deselect it once its in position (esc)

Repeat the process and select: "ctf_flag_allies.map"


Postion that. Now right click your 2d grid and select "mp" > "ctf_spawn_allied" (place these near the allied flag)


Now right click your 2d grid and select "mp" > "ctf_spawn_axis" (place these near the axis flag)

- i said no scripting but you need this in your .gsc:

main()
{
Maps\mp\_load::main();
}

You also need a global intermission

Right click in the 2d grid then go mp/global intermission

This is where u will spawn in spectate.

But if u already have 1 i dont see why ctf dont work.

You map should contain:

1 Axis ctf flag
Axis spawn points
1 Allied ctf flag
Allied spawn points
1 Global intermission

And a mapname.gsc file that contains the code:

main()
{
Maps\mp\_load::main();
}

The gsc file goes in your maps/mp folder inside the iwd

got all that, I neglected to copy and paste the part about the global intermission, map works fine in TDM, DM ,and was trying to add ctf next.

In a UO tutorial on ctf, it had all kinds of involved and confusing elements to add, just making sure I don't need that for cod2

are there any additional entity elements that need to be put in on the flags?

has anybody had trouble getting ctf to work?

When you add the models of the two flags, do you need to modify them at all or just drop them in?

blmeanie writes...Just drop them in nothing needs to be added or changed.

there is no need to edit them since those are prefabs that were also used by IW to insert CTF into all the mp maps all the difficult elements that used to be needed in UO are included inside of that prefab

any ideas on what could be causing ctf not to run? when I switch to ctf after the map loads it says ctf but there are no flags visible despite them being quite visible in the editor?

blmeanie writes...When you switch to ctf and then spawn does it say you are playing ctf or does it say some other gametype?
