ok ive been all over to forums and everbody has a differnt way but they did not work

start out go to your server, go to ftp,open cod4 ,open main
now in your "main" create a folder called "usermaps"
in there make folder "mp_mymap"(mp_subway) not"mp_subway_beta" or "subway" spell same as ff file !!
this should be the path
cod4/main/usermaps/mp_mymap
inside put all ff_file ff_file_load and iwd
(some have only ff files thats ok)
make differnt folders for every map!!

now restart server they will now show up in map select screen !! they will work and download just like cod2
(it makes a folder on your game next to your main that ok)
your game is differnt than public servers

ok now to get it to work on your www downloader do this

make a folder "cod4" open it
make a folder "usermaps" open it
make a folder for each map "mp_mymap"
upload to your map in to the named map folder
need new folder for every map
this work's for modded servers and i am working on the none modded servers and will update when i figer it out
servers next good luck

yeah, we've actually said this about 4 times now

ok update still having problems with the ff file only maps

but the maps that have the ff, ff load, and iwd work fine

second these maps will run on stock servers
just add the gametype war map mp_mymap to the server rotation line and it will show up in your rcon map change

ps i use HLSW 1.2.0.2

where do the .ff files go and IWD's.tried every combination i can think of....No good read me's and steps to take.come on dude give us a hint?

In your server config running from your mod server folder, include this line of script.....

// Client Download Settings. (0=off/1=on) Used for MODs and custom maps
set sv_allowdownload "1"
seta sv_wwwDownload "1"
seta sv_wwwBaseURL "http://www.yourdomainname.com/cod4"
seta sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0"


My clan and I spent well over 3 hours trying to understand this only to find that // was in front of sv_wwwBaseURL

Talk about frustration!!!

The files go on your game server under...
cod4/usermaps/mp_nameofmap/mp_nameofmap.ff

On your download server...
www.yourdomainname.com/cod4/usermaps/mp_nameofmap/mp_nameofmap.ff

cod4\usermaps\mapname\mapname.ff
cod4\usermaps\mapname\mapname_load.ff
cod4\usermaps\mapname\mapname.iwd

ok?

yes i was about to update that if your running a mode its just like the tut
but i have none modded servers as well so to run on stock servers you only need the usermaps in the cod4 next to main
cod4/usermaps
yes that easy
make folders of your map name ! then put all files in .
modded servers in your main
cod4/main/usermaps

( please note that i have only got maps that have ff, load_ff and iwd to work )

COLMAC do u realize that whatever u r talking about only 20% of the noobs are getting it? or may be less...no offense man. but u see its so frustrating when 100 ppl write the same stuff but without making it simple. again i apologize for saying that but what servers what ftp r u talking about? and also what modded servers and what not. if u know what u r doing plz make a video tutorial and end our misery. i've been oh this topic for several days and all i learned is "usermaps" ".ff" and recently "moded servers" and who knows what else i'll learn to make myself more confused.

I've tried to get custom maps to work on our pam4 modded server for like FOREVER. I've read different things in different forums... but none of them works! Man it's frustrating!

Can some one plz explain in the simpliest way how to get custom maps and fast map downloading to work?

We in our clan, we rent a server from game-hosting.com and the ftp looks like this (picture below). Where do I make what folder and where do I put in which files (.ff, _load.ff, .iwd). Also, is there any commands I have to put in the server.cfg in order for the fast map downloading to work? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Does this go in the server.cfg?

set sv_allowdownload "1"
seta sv_wwwDownload "1"
seta sv_wwwBaseURL "ftp://ip_goes_here/cod411203/"
