(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?

And where on earth am I supposed to get the files for these maps?

These maps have not even been made! /facepalm

I googled it and that looks legit

Thats not IW original package though, its a remake and used as a mod.

Nothing will work

& how did u get your Cod4 backup to run off your ps3?

i backed it up w/ multiman, it didnt work, update fixed it.. idk i think i might have had to delete the patch but idk lol

try changing a modded .ff file with the original map then mod the retail patch [eboot] to include the new one

toda!

ty backing me up
+ also there is a thread for it on page 2 of exp & hacks cod4 by uK viper.

I found out that the EBOOT_MP.bin does not do anything with the DLC.

The option to your Bonus Maps on in the Cod4 maps settings, is used by this file

mappack1.edat

Ive researched about .edat files, and it says that these edat files were made by SONY, to give game developers ADD ons to there games.

If you delete the mappack1.edat from you gamedata, and start Cod4. The Option to view your Bonus Maps will disapear!

We need to find away some how to decrypt the edat file, so that it will load your map. Also this will enable you to add an extra option, with you map name.

The only problem now, is the maps in the DLC it self, I need to find away to compile everything into the .ff file. I may have to ask hunter128 for help on this one.

This would be so good, it would bring cod4 back to life!

But if we can edit the edat, do you think MW2 maps will work? maybe CoD2 maps? Toujane = Sex. haha
