Hello fellow COD4 mappers.

I am fairly new to COD4 mapping and I have a problem with my xmodels. About 3 months ago when I set up the mod tools everything worked great then a while back when I would import xmodels there would be no preview of the model and now there is no preview and they wont import. I get this error when I try to import it:

Loading model prefabs/mp_strike/planter_cube.map...ERROR: xmodel 'prefabs/mp_strike/planter_cube.map' not found
ERROR: Cannot find xmodel 'prefabs/mp_strike/planter_cube.map'.
faild.

Does anyone know what is causing this? I am hopping to get a map ready by the 27th for a LAN party but this is a bit of a snag.

Thanks in advance.

At a guess the prefab folder is in one place and but radiant is trying to find it somewhee else...
What is your folder layout structure?

[root_directory]\map_source\prefabs\mp_strike\planter_cube.map

Is that what you're after?

Not really, your exact and full tree.

So, where is radiant installed, where are your maps files saved and where are your project settings pointing.

Here is where my radiant in installed: C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\bin

My maps are saved here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\map_source

Project settings:
basepath (.EXE location) - C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare
mapspath (.MAP location) - C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\map_source
entitypath - .\cod4.def
game dir (aka "fs_game") - [Blank Field]
base game dir ("fs_basegame") [Blank Field]

Is that more what you are after? Sorry I'm new to this.

Ok, my bad. The error is not what I thought.

After a quick re-read, the error is caused by the way your are trying to open a model.
Previous games stored model as a model file and collision maps as map files.
CoD4 now simply skips the process.

So, to load a model, you use "Misc<Prefab" not "Misc<Model".

Thanks! That works great. Would you happen to know why there is no preview image? If not thats fine they are importing now which is awesome.

Previews only work with models.

So Misc<Model

Then navigate to "raw/xmodel" and then you shall have previews, but you may not have collision with them (unless you do it manually. (Test for yourself, haven't done any mapping in a long time).
