Are you new to this whole modding thing? I'd rather not have people rip my stuff off, as would the majority of people who make maps...they wouldn't release the source for that map.

People don't always give credit, even when asked...what's the use of making a mod, having it copied and put on another server under another name if you don't want that? There's a difference between selfishness and legal rights, it may not have any effect here as these are mods, but you aren't obligated to give them out to everyone.

As for this 'garbish system', I'm guessing the only benefit you've heard of is protection? I'm glad that modders now have the option to protect their work, as they didn't before.

I tried the same method. On my fathers PC I created the usermaps folder, and placed my 2 .ff files and the .iwd and tried loading the map. It said it couldn't find the map and that I needed a mod for custom maps. However when I did it the other way (the raw folder method) on my fathers PC it worked fine, albeit with no loadscreen as it claimed it couldn't find it.

Hopefully someone can figure this out soon.

Where are the beta testers now? I'm not trying to flame, but did you guys have any of these problems people are having? And if you did, why weren't they beta tested out of existence? You probably didn't have the final say on the release, but, come on! Did you guys have the shader bin path error? Could you guys have maybe brought something like that to the attention of the big guys? Did you try to implement custom textures? Anything...?

This whole cod4 mod tools is one big friggin' nightmare.
Unbelievable!!

Seems k to me

BECAUSE IT MAKES PEOPLE HAPPY!!!

grrrrrrrrrrr
your comment infuriates me.
its thoughts as of those that make this world a horrible place.

all knowledge should be free.
these 1s and 0s isnt anyones property.
its information.

you have no respect for the spirit of creation.

what if YOU made the wheel? we'd be so screwed.....

sry to attack you or w.e
i know its not your fault you think that way....

hmm, ever heard of intellectual property rights? Why do we buy software if it should be free?

I don't think Microsoft think of their operating system, for example, is simply information, nor are the billions of programs that have been made for computers. You have no respect for the spirit of creation.

I think we derailed this thread, so lets just say

FF's > IWD's

and call it a day

i apologize for taking this thread off track.

FFs damn suck
i have all my files in the correct places, but it cant find my
compass/minimap
and it cant find my .vision file
and it took me 3 compiles to get my loadscreen to work

and i didnt even change anything, i just compiled, tested compiled tested compiled tested .... and about effing time xD


also, im working on a second map, and its adding assets from my old map.. they have totally different names (except for mp_ )

like its adding the destroyable cars things, and i have not loaded a car into the map at all
also its adding the .gsc and loadscreen of the old one.

if i could make a iwd, id be playing my map right now...

and yes, i suppose iam wierd for refusing to "conform"
to the rediculous hypocrisy which is intellectual property rights.

i can think of 3 reasons to create
1. to create, to fuel creation, & to create a long stream of new things , that enrich peoples lifes.

2. to make money.

3. for power.

the latter 2 of which shall hopefully always succumb to the 1st.
as they are not really creation in the forms of like .bsp and .ff
which are just like... well i cant think of a thing in the real world to analogilize it with. ... uhm its like totally useless, you cant do nothing with it but use it.

everything created should be able to be used to create. otherwise whats the point of creating it in the first place?? in other words, if it cant be used to make something else, its a waste. thats what i think.
