COD4 Maps

[Bubbles_Few]

Hey Filthy...

Are all the maps loaded on the server? A bunch of us were playing last week and everyone was interested in playing that map from the single player game, where you enter a village from up high, and then work your way down a steep hill into some houses...? Do you know the one we mean? I think it's where you get your first sniper rifle in the SP version. At any rate, if it 's possible to load that map, it does seem like people were interested in playing it (and maybe others too).

I've also noticed lately that some people either left or were leaving because virtually every round is TDM or DM, and many were asking for something objective-oriented that drove players to locations that they could strategize around (there was discussion about which objective gametype was favoured). Do we want to change up the rotation of gametypes?

Anyhow, that's the feedback I've been getting. I know I'd be into that one map. I'm happy to be conduit, but I leave it in your capable hands to decide what actually can and should be done.

You can always vote a different kind of map

[Bubbles_Few]

Yeah, but that one isn't listed on the available choices on our server. I'm wondering if we can add it, or if COD doesn't use that one for multi-player for some reason. (That would seem unlikely.)

COD4 doesn't use all the maps from the single player as a MP map, so no its not a MP map, sorry mate.

[Bubbles_Few]

Ah too bad. Surprising too. You think if you're going to go to the trouble to build the map, you might as well make it multiplayer too.
Thanks for the info.

I can run different maps.....................but the server needs to be unranked to do it!

[Bubbles_Few]

You can run that map from the sniper section of the single player? What does it mean to make it unranked?

I got this from another forum......................its by a guy named kriDje

"I want a custom map on my CoD4 server! How to?

Intro
With the CoD4 Mod Tools people can make custom maps and after installing that on your CoD4 server you can play in that map.
Having custom maps on your server is nice, but remember that the server must be unranked and you 're advised to use redirect downloading. In this topic I explain how to install a custom CoD4 map on your server.

You can download custom maps anywhere on the Internet, just google on 'CoD4 Custom Maps'.

Here some nice website(s):
www.codutility.com/ (Registering required)
callofduty.filefront.com/file...uty_4;116index (No maps yet)
Installation
First, make your server unranked, because using a mod is required for using custom maps! You can make your server unranked by adding the following to your servers commandline: +set fs_game mods/modwarfare
Make sure that folder exists, including the ModWarfare files and the config-files.
Make a new folder in your CoD4 root directory: usermaps. For every map you have to make a subfolder in usermaps, and name it the same as the map name. For example: C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\usermaps\mp_subway
Place the custom map-files (1 or 2 .FF files and 1 IWD-file) in that folder.
Restart your server. You can change map by using the command /rcon map mp_subway (after logging in to your rcon using /rcon login xxx)
You can add the new map to the maprotation, but don't forget the rules: gametype xxx map mp_xxxx.

Greetz,
