Did you make a .gsc file for your map yet? If so, add the line in your main function.

If not, make one by making a yourmapname.txt file (with 'yourmapname' being the EXACT name of your map) and copy the following in

main()
{
maps\mp\_load::main();
maps\mp\_exploding_barrels::main();
}

Save and rename the file to yourmapname.gsc, place it in your raw/maps/mp folder.

Hi,
I followed the steps from the Tutorials too but then there is an Error:

The programm says that he can't find the file "_exploding_barrels"
I searched for it and I only found _explosive_barrels...

Could somebody be so nice and upload it for me?

That's the script.

Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\raw\maps\mp\_explosive_barrels.gsc

Do I have to copy this:



Into the "_explosive_barrels.gsc"? And where there? Sorry I don't know what to do with this script

I took a screenshot for you:

It appears you have added it to your main map gsc, but you also have to add it to your Zone file as well. That is why you get the error.

rawfile,maps/mp/_explosive_barrels.gsc

Add that line to your Zone file.
Built FF, and try again.


If you call a file in your maps gsc, you have to reference it in the zone file as well.

The script works off the Barrels you added in your map. You run the script, the barrels blow up.

I decided to add this to a WaW test map, (basically the same thing), and I get a double explosion. You shoot the barrel. It explodes. And then a few seconds later, there is another explosion where the barrel used to be.

This is my new Error :(

You see in the window "missing_assets" that there is "_exploding_barrels" is missing... First I added it and your line. The Error came. I deleted the line "_exploding_barrels" and it came again.
You can see in the blue area that there is the line twice! I tried to follow the Tutorial so I already had that line. I hope that isn't a problem to have a line twice...

Edit: I also made a file "_exploding_barrels.gsc" now I deleted it again and the first Error came back. So I think that I need this file so I wont get this Error, or is that the wrong way?

The Update Zone File works like this:

The section on the left, references a file called: missingasset.csv

Which is located in the following Dir: Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\main\missingasset.csv. Unless however you are running a Mod, for example CustomMaps. Then your game would create a "missingasset.csv" in that Mod folder. In order for your missing assets to show up, you would have to copy the "missingasset.csv" from the CustomMaps folder over to the Main folder, overwriting the existing "missingasset.csv". The compile tools only reads the "missingasset.csv" located in the Main folder.

Now the section on the right of Update Zone File is a reference to your zone file called: mp_mapname.csv

Which is located in the following Dir: Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\zone_source\mp_mapname.csv.

When the missingasset.csv finds missing assets, it updates itself on the left, telling you to copy those missing files over to the right. If the left doesn't find anything new, the file "missingasset.csv" never updates. So the files it told you to add, are still there. The mistake people make is to keep adding the files it shows there, even though you have already added them to the right side.

Try and sort your problem knowing these things. It sounds like you have a reference problem somewhere, because even when adding duplicate assets, it hardly ever causes errors. It helps to understand how the file works first.
