(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?

so how would u edit a EBOOT?

The same way has on Black Ops, but I do believe we need a debug file

then how did u do it?

an eboot file is abit like a .pkg file basicly u ahve to get a eboot file and put your custom map into it SORRY IF IM WRONG JUST A GUESS

You dont put the map in the EBOOT. The Eboot is like a second engine, from the actual game disc it self.

The cod4 DLC Eboot, has the options to click onto your "Bonus Map" And it tells the system to load these custom maps.

wow if we start loading custom maps...then the fun is really gonna start.

Heres a DEBUG save. You must login or register to view this content.

/facepalm Thats a gamesave not an EBOOT.

/facepalm is right. I just saw "DEBUG" and was like "ZOMG!!!1! I NOES TEH THREADDD!!!!!11" I need to pay better attention next time.
P.S What's a DEBUG version of the EBOOT?
