(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok I want to keep this thread as a BLOG, because I want people to input there knowledge into this thread.


What I found was DLC Maps are signed, so what I did to test this out was, grab the mp_shipment_load.ff file from my Cod4 disc, and paste it in the DLC mappack1 folder, to see if it would load the "loading screen"

However it didnt load, it just froze my ps3.. which mean the ff file is corrupt.

So I decide to swap over my other DLC "loading screen" file to a different map file.

This is what you get.



As you can see, im using the Killhouse loading image, for the map Creek. It works perfectly.

The only way we can get around to load custom maps, is to Open up the EBOOT_MP.bin which alot of people know how to do now, since Black Ops.

To change the excute name of the map, (So it will boot your Custom Map, not the DLC one)

And also, pasting in the header of the dlc maps into your cutom map.

I do know that, consoles dont carry IW iwd file, as it is all stored inside the .ff file of the map. So im not sure how to load the bsp images.

Are you sure those files are located on the Disk?

1. I believe you in a way, because all the textures and materials are located on the disc in the packfile1.pak

2. Maps like Chinatown, have unique texture. I have not seen a simular texture on any other map. This is why I thought to myself that all the textures are located within the .ff file.

Comparison

In the Mw2 map packs contain the map, but also the imagefile.pak which contain all the textures like "packfile1.pak" on Cod4.

So maybe your right, about Cod4 runs the images from the Disc, So this means custom maps will only load the same textures on the PAK on the Disc?

We should test maps from the MW2 map packs first O_o Has anyone tried it? They should be about the same. We would probably just have to edit the eboot. Or maybe it'd be simple enough to run the MW2 Maps if we renamed them.

Edit: Wow I just saw matto say this up there... I probably should have read first :p nice to see we're thinkin alike though xD

Taco, I tested I mw2 map. it doesnt work. It just freezes my ps3. Its the same when I put in mp_shipment.ff from the actuall Cod4 disc backup.

The DLC map is signed, so only that specific DLC will work with the specific maps. I think there is a header somewhere.

But have you tried backing up the game, and replacing the maps in the game with them? O_o

Cod4 Backup does not work, you just get a black screen.

O_o What are you using? It worked fine for me after one of the multiman updates

I have not been on the scene for that, what multiman version and how do you do it lol?

mp_Cellblock should use the same textures as showdown, why not try that? mp_Dusk is like Ambush too.

Im gunna try this tommorow

Just update to the newest one and it'll work
