Open the makemod.bat file in notepad, copy everything that's in it and paste it here.

Re: makemod.bat error
Do you have a .csv file?
Also from a quick Google I spotted that somebody also had this line in their file, perhaps it'll help you:
copy /Y mod.csv ..\..\source_data

Re: makemod.bat error
hi, thanks for the fast responses. whats a csv file and how do i make one? also shall i just add that line in at the bottom?
Re: makemod.bat error
I'm not entirely sure what to do, I've never made a mod before
Try adding the line below the other .csv line, and AFAIK you don't have to make your own .csv (I think this file actually makes it for you).

Re: makemod.bat error
is there a file called mod.csv in that folder? if not, thats ur problem. if there is, try opening it in notepad and tell us whats in it (im not sure if u can open csv files in notepad cos i never worked with them)
also, ask any mapper or modder for that file and im sure they can just send it to u

Re: makemod.bat error
This is not a file you can simply 'share'.
For example:
codjumper.csv:
The CSV file is what tells the compiler, what needs to be compiled and how to compile it.
The easy way to do things, is to use the compiler you are given, modbuilder.exe, it has a CSV creator built in.
For example:
codjumper.csv:
Code: Select all
rawfile,maps/mp/gametypes/dm.gsc
rawfile,maps/mp/gametypes/_cj_utility.gsc
rawfile,maps/mp/gametypes/_cj_punish.gsc
rawfile,maps/mp/gametypes/_cj_commands.gsc
rawfile,maps/mp/gametypes/_cj_setup.gsc
rawfile,maps/mp/gametypes/_codjumper.gsc
rawfile,maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc
rawfile,maps/mp/gametypes/_gameobjects.gsc
rawfile,maps/mp/gametypes/_quickmessages.gsc
rawfile,maps/mp/gametypes/_hardpoints.gsc
material,cjbanner
material,sponsor
material,shortsponsor
material,cj_frame
menufile,ui_mp/hud.menu
menufile,ui_mp/wm_quickmessage.menu
menufile,ui_mp/scriptmenus/quickstatements.menu
menufile,ui_mp/scriptmenus/quickresponses.menu
menufile,ui_mp/scriptmenus/quickcommands.menu
menufile,ui_mp/scriptmenus/cj.menu
weapon,mp/beretta_mp
localize,cj
localize,cjmessage

Re: makemod.bat error
Weapon files go in IWD's
Skins must be first converted to IWI and placed in the csv using "material,<material_filename>"
You may need to copy the files manually to the "raw" folders. The mod builder will not do this for you in all cases.

Re: makemod.bat error
Make your own IWD, or again use the built in function called "Make IWD". Tick which files you want to create.
the .ff files have nothing to do with the IWD files.

Re: makemod.bat error
i made my own .iwd but my game appears to completely ignore it? i put my .iwi(a weapon skin) into a folder called images then i zipped the folder,(using winzip 12.0) and renamed the zip file to .iwd
