I got a problem ... I've followed the tutorial until you use "Offzip" to decrypt the patch_mp.ff.

Well, once I'm trying to find the files called "0002cbcc" "000295f3" and "00030783" I can't find any of them ... Like every files are with different names than the requested ones.

Here is my problem :

You must login or register to view this content.

Among all those files, none seem match with the needed files...

What am I supposed to do ?

This happened to me, and i found out it was because of the patch region. It was a german patch not an english patch. They have different offsets. I had to go into each .dat file to find the offsets for them but i cannot remember them anymore.

There, I have decompressed the patch and edited it.

Now, I got a problem about the "Recompression" step ...

As my patch_mp.ff isn't the same region than yours (Tupac's one), I had to recompress only ONE file (and not two...) due to my little edit.

Now, once I start up CoD4, I keep getting a Blackscreen.

And btw, what does that "packzip -o" means ? the "-o" and the "-w" precisely ?

I'm looking for an eventual explaination, because I'm so confused about that.
