Ok, this is the way to do it.
(forgive if i repeat steps from above)


in usermaps make a folder mp_mapname, put your 2 fast files in there with the zz_mp_mapname.iwd

In the iwd all you need is the iwi of your texture.

Run the game with 'use custom commands' ticked and put
+set fs_game mods/customMaps
in the box


(right click the pic-->view image to see it clearly)

hope that helps

doesnt work for me :(

oops, sorry

I meant to say put the iwi's into a folder called 'images', this folder is what goes in the iwd.



Open up that 'images' folder, and thats where the iwi's you made go

sorry dude

How did you make your .iwd?

Try copying z_modwarfare.iwd from \Mods\ModWarfare, emptying everything out, rename it and put your iwi's in the (now empty) images folder

Remember to move it to
Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\usermaps\mp_mapname with your 2 ff's

I used dds dxt5, with mipmaps

IT WORKS, thank you so much. I think i was making the files into a .iwi and not .iwd, i do that sometimes when im thinking too hard. i overlook stuff, but that using another iwd and renaming it helped. So thank you so much

My pleasure, happy you got sorted :)

I know this is an old topic but ive spent the last 20 years trying to get my custom textures to work in cod4 and now im so happy they work WOOHOO!

I basically have my mapname folder in the COD4\usermaps\mp_myMap folder where i moved my two ff files to.

Then when i made my iwd file I had to save it as a zip file with winrar. Then renamed it to mymapname.iwd.

I put this iwd file in the cod4\mods\custommaps folder and just started cod4 game then started custom maps mod and loaded my map through the console.
And it worked

Thanks for the people who posted here and helped me get this working your all great super people
