Custom Maps

[Tango9]

I wasn't sure if this is the right forum...(Might be map news...?) but how do I download and play the custom maps? Whats servers play them.

Also, could someone give me a link to some sniper oriented maps and how to download them.

Do a bit of reading in the Map News section ( http://www.totalgamingnetwork.com/ma...play.php?f=717 ) and you'll get some of your answers. Pay particular attention to the threads with a lot of replies. Post back if you still need help after that.

Thanks for the quick reply whisky. I know this is kinda off topic of the post, but is there like a place where I can enter an ip and join the server with that ip?

Edit: I was looking around the map news section and didn't really find what I want, but I guess all the custom maps. do you do the same thing to all of them?

Yes. You can press the ~ key to bring up the console (be sure you have it enabled in the Options), then type in:

/connect xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxxx

where the x's are the ip numbers. Be sure to include the port at the end if you know what it is.

Good point, but the map forum didn't help very much.

A lot of the Map News has installation instructions in them. Check out www.totalgamingfiles.com and search in the Call of Duty 4 Maps. There, you can download them. Servers playing them, I am not sure, it's something you would need to search for. Make your filter go by Map name, scroll down to "m" because every custom map started with "mp". Any servers playing those maps, you will know they are a custom map server. My server, I play both stock and custom maps with the PAM4 mod.

To download, just download off of the TotalGamingFiles, then most maps will have a ReadMe with installation instructions. You mainly would put the files in your C:/Program Files/Activision/Call of Duty 4/usermaps folder. If you do not have a usermaps folder, you need to make one (Or go into a custom maps server, download through the game and it'll automatically make you one).

In the usermaps folder, you will see seperate folders for each map name. For example, Burg would be in...

C:/Program Files/Activision/Call of Duty 4/usermaps/mp_burg_b1/

And all the files will be in that "mp_burg_b1" folder pertaining to that map which would consist of load_mp_burg_b1.ff, mp_burg_b1.ff and mp_burg_b1.iwd

Sniper maps, can't remember the names but they're out there. If you do not have a map in your usermaps folder but a server plays it, the server will download the map so you do not need to do it manually.
