It's also important to note that there is no official documentation to avoid these problems beforehand. At least I haven't come across any. People try to distribute tutorials and maps, and they're only help is word-of-mouth advice, after the fact.

it's because there are many sites like this one that allows people to add very bad tutorials.

But things will change soon....

You miss the point. How did he know it was bad if it worked for him, and there's no documentation to direct him otherwise?

The problem is that the Tools have been released since 4-5 months now. All these basics tutorials are already done and fixed since the time.

Posting this kind of tutorial will only cause errors.

If you know where to search for good ( and tested ) tutorials, it won't be necessary to post new versions that are faulty.

He could try by putting his map and minimap up on a server and see if it works without needed to download multiple times. A little common sense here and there doesn't hurt.

Come on, now. Common sense? What server? Do we all need to rent and set up cod4 on a server to try our maps?

Hey all sorry this is just the way i got my map to run and i ran it a a modded server and my friend tried with me so im not sure i went through hours of finding the right files to work and all the ones that are in my iwd were everything i needed If I took 1 file out any of them it would not load no more sorry to try and help all would be better if there were better guides to do the whole createing of missings files from the start but this was just my first attemp I dont mind the feed back helps me out

I've got one thing to say on this topic.
to those that know what is wrong about this tutorial, and what you SHOULD do instead.
take the 5 minutes you undboubtedly have left in your day to write us a clear tutorial, describing EXACTLY and step-by-step where to put what, and in the correct order.
because obviously, you guys dó know where everything should go, and you are willing to help (otherwise you would not have posted here) so why dont you guys write us a tutorial? because the ones that are out there right now are obviously wrong.
ty in advance,

Joram

The only ones I've found except for this one, are correct.

it's in the tutorial section, oddly enough.
