*Note: This is my 2nd computer, my other one I got the tools working fine.*
I downloaded the tools from modsonline, extracted directly from the zip file to C:/Program Files/Activision/Call of Duty 4, as it said in the tutorials and as Ive done before. I tried reinstalling the game, then the tools, I've put in the editor patch and I have no textures upon load, they all look like this:

Then sometimes when I close Radiant it gives me this error:

no ideas?

Video Card on machine that displays textures as so described, does not support "Shader Model 3.0" or higher.

As for the Assertion Failure, try updating your .net framework to the newest version. Although there is no point to updating if your video card cannot support Shader Model 3.0.

O.o thats really weird...my other computer has a really bad video card, this one has 2 good ones. I play CoD4 regularily without lagg or any problems here, i just gigured Id try mapping on the faster, better computer. My other computer has all the textures, this one only a few of the tools textures show. Is the video card the only possible problem? Ive heard theres files that come in the tools download with the textures in them, what are they called maybe i can check and see if they are there or properly loaded?

Not sure what textures you're looking for, but to get an answer to the problem for the shader model 3.0 or not, look up both cards specs for both machines. That will tell you right away if that is what it is or not.

I know NVIDIA doesn't have as many shader problems as other cards. Your card might be great to play the game, but the tools need shader model 3.0 or better. Just because you have a great video card, doesn't mean it supports shader model 3.0.

Look up both cards specs from each machine, and you'll see what I mean. At least then you can rule out the Shader Model issue.
