So that's where the .ff files and their related .iwd goes. If i understand you right. then my usermaps folder is this folder: ..\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\zone\english cause thats where my FF files is ? heh sorry, think i'm being a bit slow here :P but I made it work and thanks again :D That is where the .ff lives at the moment as you are in the dev environment. But really released map distributed by playing on a server live there: Code: ./usermaps/mp_yourmap/ /Explanation_ON It is very recommended to have two installation of the game: one for development and one for regular gaming. I can't stress that enough! and it is just plain good practice. Reason is, you won't screw things up by having foreign files under your dev environment because you, say, have played on a modded server and played custom map. On the other hand if you have one installation of the game for both dev and pleasure .... Well you might start to have all kind of missleading errors appearing, more often that a regular dev only installation. It might be just a simple texture that you think is a stock one, but is in fact a custom one. And when you have to release your map, you have a legal problem (can you use and redistribute the material? or just just stole it?) and a technical problem (where the hack can you find this texture and have it redistributed along with your map?). Now you are going to ask how to have two installations.... Just copy and past the entire content Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare folder to a new folder (name it to you liking. I choose Call_of_Duty_4 so I know the underscores means it is a dev folder and it is easier to access it from the command line :p). If you really need to do a fresh install of the game twice to achieve this it is possible but you HAVE to actually mock about with the registry, which is fine as long as you know how to. I could lead you to a solution on Windows XP but I have an absolute zero level of knowledge when it comes to Vista. /Explanation_OFF Hope all of this helps. Tam
