PC Server help?

[Roo]

I got a mod for CoD4 on this website along with a few maps. I saved the mod in the mods folder as stated in the directions, and the mod works. I saved the maps in my "usermaps" folder, but every time I run the mod and type in a map name it says that it can not find that map. I tried putting the maps .iwd files into the mod folder but that didn't do any good. Help would be appreciated!

In CoD2 you should put all maps (.iwd's) in your main folder. Donno if this is different for cod4 and so on ?
*note* it has to be .iwd and not .zip or .rar also type "/devmap(or map) mp_yourmapname" (without the quotes)

unzip the maps and put the mp_mapname.iwd in the usermaps folder
if you want this done easier, join any of the codjumper.com servers to download the maps from there then they are automatically put in your maps folder.

Make sure you properly unzip the map download, so you should have 3 files:

-mp_name.iwd
-mp_name.ff
-mp_name_load.ff

Place these 3 files into CoD4/Usermaps/mp_name

Load the mod up, then type /map mp_name and the map should load.

Also make sure you are on version 1.7 of CoD4, because on version 1.0 and some others, the Usermaps folder feature isn't supported.

Ohhh.... I am on 1.0. Does anyone have a link to a version switcher that I can use? My current one spazzes out when I try to go on 1.7, but it works for every other version!

I've never used those quick version changer things, just copy and paste your CoD4 folder, and update only one of them to 1.7 (by finding the 1.6 and 1.7 patches online to download). That way you can play either 1.0 or 1.7 without having to reinsatll or version change etc.

Edit: Oh and to get custom maps working on 1.0, you can do one of 2 things:

-Put the 3 map files (.ff, _load.ff, .iwd) into CoD4/mods/yourmod (if wanting to run the map with a mod)
-If not, put the .iwd in CoD4/main, and the other 2 files (.ff, _load.ff) into CoD4/zone/yourlanguage.

If you are wanting to have people able to download the maps via the server, you cannot use the second method (however you can only have a maximum download speed of 10kb/s on 1.0 anyway, so it takes a long time to download custom maps).

I am on 1.7 already. For some reason, which I don't know why, whenever I want 1.7 on my version switcher it just brings me back to 1.0.
