making a map

[thekiller]

well when there was that test sd-rotation i needed something else to do ^^ so ive started to learn some cod4 modding. Atm i can only make buildings and edit terrains, im learning lots of more (like adding models ^^).
Only thing i miss is a good idea for a new map, well i have some but not sure if they're good:
- one big hotel (3 or 4 floors) in the middle of the map(defenders) and attackers spawn all around it
- trying to find the map of the last sp mission and use the plane as basic, place it on a airport or somewhere else

any other idea's?

also any help is welcome, such as helping to make it or posting tuts...


edit: i had error with adding models, but its fixed now ^^ so i can add models also.. one less thing to learn

wow, so many replies, u wont have time to read em. lol

i think. if you take a really good map on cod4, like overgrown or crash or anyother that people like, and try to make it simillar to that, it'll be the best. and make sure it's in day light and not at night

to my understanding in order to run custom made maps on a server the server must be running some sort of mod or something, is not like Snake could just add the map to the rotation once u r done with it or am i wrong?

Snakey said the main server wont be modded, its being kept clean, mods cause problems and errors.

That would be a nice map.

Picture this .... a hotel, filled with terrorist defending it with their lives.
Other team have to rescue a bunch of citizens on the top floor.
And sometimes you have to use your nightvision thingy.

yes i can not add it to the main server but the PAM server is a mod so i can add maps there. I would see if you can take a standard maps and change it around a bit I have looked a few of them and if you just add a ladder here and a ladder there you can change the whole map up.

well atm ive problems models not previewing so cant make a whole new map now, but editing old onces seems good idea, ill try some things right ahead!

Your right Eus however ther is a map you can add to a clean server and is called "village" is a nice map about the size of pipeline but the only drawback is your radar appears checkered, no map on it

You should know it if you played "Blackout" form the single player campign.

ummmm yeah that part is sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, i would love to have that map on the rotation

actaully vice you can not add maps to standard none modded server they are only released in patches like crash snow was. All standard maps are in the patches sorry to say that, and if the map has a ckeckered radar that mean's who ever build it did not build something right. In the old custom maps for COD2 when I installed them if the map was not build right it would not show up just checkered. I think FriedCoD could explane it better being he build a few maps.

So just so you now standard server dont run off a mod folder or custom mod folder they pull right from the main folder of cod4. So really you have no way of installing a custom map on a none modded server. Well unless you wanted to open a IWD file and custom put that in but it would never download being the redirect for a player's download from a server come's from the mod command's and from how the server is build.
