(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Just wondering cuz I was trying to join my friends game and he had fake maps on so It wouldn't let me join and said "could not find zone oilrig.ff"


So is it possible to create custom maps?

Sorry for noob question...

which from what i've heard is a new engine. Nobody exept the people with that SDK no how the maps/meshes/xmodels/ fast files gets compiled in. This is probably the reason why they didnt release because its a newer engine...



Touche. Like I said, I wouldn't really know.

Thanks for the verification.

I don't think that would be possible because their two different discs, and different BLES/BLUS for each disc, but somehow they got cod4 weapons onto cod5 on PC, but anything on PC is possible Happy

I think even if you did find a way to change the map file on your game, you still would have the issue of getting that same map to the other users playing the game.

It's possible with the right tools. You would first have to start with getting the game on your HDD, we did this with HALO back in the day. If someone could figure out what extension the texture files(bitmaps) are and find a plugin for Photoshop and learn how to save them. We could create our own textures. There should also be a way to link piece's of machinery from another map to that of an MP map, not sure how that would be done but could be possible. I have some of those tools lying around somewhere in a folder if any of you programmers want to look at them and see if you can manipulate or customize any to work with MW2, may need a complete re-programming but you'll at least have an idea or can see how they did it back then. Let me know!

I believe how they did that was remodeled the weapon to look like the weapon you are referring to. That would be possible

It sounds possible under the following conditions.

3.55 is modded
Backup Manager works on 3.55
MW2 works on Backup Manager

Once thats complete I'm sure you could just at the map file to the directory with all the other maps and it should load, but then again, the clients will all fail to load because they don't have the map. Maybe one day more and more people will do this, and the maps might actually become playable ....

And who knows, maybe even custom maps Happy!

Maybe when all your friends have them too?

That would be the idea ...
