x4v2.0 PLZ Help compiling mod.ff
« on: May 30, 2009, 06:38:57 pm »
So i started following the great tutorial on changing and manipulating the custom backgrounds and in game menus located here...
http://x4aftermath.com/cod4tut/modff.html
when trying to compile the mod.ff I have gotten numerous errors. I downloaded the x4v2.0 raw files. I placed these files in a folder named 56bct_raw located in my cod4 directory which is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare. This is also where I placed the mod tools. So here is how that looks...

My 56bct_raw looks like this....

when ever I try to compile the mod.ff file I get these errors in the cmd....



Please help if you can... I can not find where these files are that are missing..... and if i just need to plug them into a file some where.. what file and where can I get them?

Hey,

So you have the game, and you have the X4 RAW files, but there is one thing I don't see.  The actual Mod Tools for COD4.  That is why you are getting all those errors.

You must have:
The game
The mod tools
The X4 RAW files

Then it will all work ;)

Nice video tutorial Joker :D

Just tested it in Windows 7 64bit Ultimate. Works great. :D

Never did get the tools to work in my Vista 64 bit business . :oops: Always have to use my notebook with XP PRO

That folder in the video where we did all the copying and pasting too "COD4 Mod Tools" and the X4 RAW folder could be put on an 8gb USB thumb drive

Then you can work on any computer you have access too.  Only change you have to make is when you plug in the thumb drive, find out what Letter is assigned to it, and edit your makemod.cmd accordingly.

Now you can compile the mod.ff and z_x4.iwd outside of an operating system, so to speak.

((This is how I work on the mods from Home - to work - to my laptop - to where-ever))
