K so I'm completely finished with my map

How Do I publish? (because I'm very confused because it seems much different than cod2)

I have .ff files

A gsc

A arena

custom Images and Materials

A Load Screen

My question is how do i put this together, and where do I put it so I load it up completely on my brothers computer? (or some1 who downloads it)

make a folder in the call of duty 4 - modern warfare folder called usermaps. place the ff file in that folder. You need to make an iwd for the loadscreen. the iwd needs to have the .csv and the image file (iwi) for the loadscreen. so you need maps/mapname.csv and images/loadscree.iwi for the iwd. then to play the map, just start up the game and pull down the console and type /map map_yourmapname

Here you go: http://www.infinityward.com/wiki/index.php?title=MP_Map_Checklist

So

CoD4Root/usermaps/mapname/.ff files

maps/mapname.cvs

How do I set up the cvs?

images/mapname_loadscreen

mp/arena file

maps/mp gsc file

Make that a iwd and put in usernames/mapname

Is that corect?

to run the map, all you need is the folder. so yes.

call of duty4- modern warfare/usermaps/mapname/mapname.ff

that will work. to share the map, you need to make the iwd with the loadsreen and all that. if you don't have one, all they need is the .ff but they will need to make the folder structure. then open the game and do /map mp_mapname and that will load the map

Ok, but what do they do with the iwd?

and doesnt it need to be raw/map/mp instead of just map?

does what need to be raw/map/mp instead of just map

The iwd file, inside it doesnt it have to have a folder called raw first, then map

so the iwd must be:
mapname.iwd
mapname/raw/maps/mp/mapname.gsv
raw/materials/for loadscreen_mapname.iwi and compass_map_mapname.iwi
