Hey Joker - I'm finally trying this modtool setup but in your video tut, but you do not say where to locate the x4v20_raw and x4v20 folders.
In the makemod.cmd edit, I see this:
2. All executables should be in the "bin" folder of the mod tools. This
includes 7za.exe. If it does not exist, the script will try to copy it
from the current folder (where you started the script from).
3. Create an empty folder for your raw files (any place, any name).
We will call it the "base folder"..
4. Inside this base folder, create a folder "ff" and a folder "iwd".
"ff" will hold the folder structure and raw files for the mod´s fastfile.
"iwd" will hold the folder structure and raw files for the mod´s iwd.
5. Copy this script into the base folder.Seems to be in conflict with what you say/don't say in the vid about these 2 folders.
Do I simply drop the x4v20_raw folder into the "cod4modtools" folder ? And copy that folder's 7za.exe file into the bin folder ?
and what about that x4v20 folder ?
Never mind, i figured it out - I made a desktop folder called "cod4modtools" and copied my cod4 game to it.
Then I copied the modtools 1.0 to this folder and the update 1.1 is just the sp & mp exe files - they go to the bin folder, replacing the previous exe files. Then I made a folder in it called base and copied the x4_v20 raw folders/files to it, save for the 7za.exe file - which goes to the bin folder.
Then I edited the makemod.cmd file and pointed it to my cod4modtools folder.
I then added Zeroy's suppressed & camo-ed m21 gun using his instructs, then added the colored smoke file, using doomslayer's instructs.
You edit the mod.csv in the ff folder and if needed, add a file to another folder - like the colored smoke mod - and double click that makemod.cmd file and its gonna make a new mod.ff file that you then upload to your gameserver and redirect. It all works
Really, not as hard as I made it out. If I can do it, YOU CAN DO IT !
