I did exactly what was said in post before yours and it put a red box in my map. I compiled the map steps 1 through 5 and nothing showed up??? The map ran fine, just nothing showed up new in it???

As already said, the red box appears for either of 2 reasons.
Firstly, because the editor looked at the path you gave it and couldn't find a valid model.
Secondly you have the editor set to show entities as bounding boxes.

Because you actually compiled the map and didn't find a model, its obviously the first reason.

There are only 2 paths to follow.
For models (without collision maps)
r/c->misc->"model"->cod4mw->raw->xmodel

For prefabs
r/c->misc->"prefab"->cod4mw->map_source->prefabs


Just to check you have models set to display properly check
view menu->entities as ->skinned.

If you still cant get it to work i have no idea what else to suggest.

Loading prefab c:/program files/activision/call of duty 4 - modern warfare/map_source/prefabs/zipline/town/house03.map... failed.

I r-clicked on 2-d window went through exactly as you said, and it still gives me a red box.

I made sure view>entities as>skinned
I tryed all views in view>entities as and nothing worked

In Entity window, when I hit N key, under MISC_PREFAB in scroll window up above, this is in key and value line.

Key--Model
Value--c:/program files/activision/call of duty 4 - modern warfare/map_source/prefabs/zipline/town/house03.map

Change the value to 'prefabs/zipline/town/house03.map' and you're there.

I changed value to prefabs/zipline/town/house03.map
and still I get a red box.

Do I leave Key=Model?

Is there any way that you can show me on a screenshot or go step by step.

If not, I give up. This is too ^$*#&%@ frustrating.

I still haven't got prefabs to show up. I'm not giving up. I'll just put clip texture over every bleeping xmodel in the map lol

Can anyone show me what their entity window looks like when they r-click on 2-d window and put a prefab in their map?

Send me your map, and I'll give it a try to see what's wrong.

What do I need to send you, the load.ff and .iwd files?

Or, just the .map file in map source?

Just the .map file will be enough.
