hey guys, im not an amateur when it comes to map making, ive made several call of duty 4 maps so i know what im doing, i just started making a cod2 map today, and right now, all i have to do is make a skybox and then add spawns, but for some reason, when i go to textures and then select ''sky'' and then i try to scroll down to get the sky i want, it errors, i have no idea why. as soon as i try to scroll it errors, plz help

Does this also happen when you scroll through the regular textures?
Have you removed all custom .iwd files from your /main folder?

no - just when i select or scroll through sky textures

and what do you mean delete all custom .iwd? i need those to play on modded servers right?

Yes, you need those to play on modded servers. Make a back up of the custom .iwd files and delete all custom .iwd files from your main folder. It's probably here: C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\main. If you want to play in a custom server again you can place the custom .iwd files back from your back-up.

o,, but how come i didnt need to delete custom iwd for cod4 when i made maps?

and how do i know if they are custom?

Cod 4 is different then Cod 2

All .iwd files in the main folder are custom except iw_00.iwd, iw_01.iwd, iw_02.iwd, iw_03.iwd, iw_04.iwd, iw_05.iwd, iw_06.iwd, iw_07.iwd, iw_08.iwd, iw_09.iwd, iw_10.iwd, iw_11.iwd, iw_12.iwd, iw_13.iwd, iw_14.iwd, iw_15.iwd and all localized_iw files and i.iwd.

ok thanks, ill see if it works
