thanks motram.
I have the RAW files and the loadingmap.iwi is in the iwd folder. I've recompiled (many times) and still no loadingbar.
I even setup a clean cod4 install on another pc with the beta and rc5 builds. beta works, rc5 still nothing.
I simply installed the rc5 (the loadingbar comes stock with the mod now) and I havent made any changes at all. Everything compiles up ok, server starts up no problem, maps load (even custom maps).
I wonder if I have the correct RAW files.. do you still have yours? Would you mind attaching the archive to a message?(please)
Has anyone else had this issue? Please help. Thanks
