Help Needed with Cod4 4 Maps

[George :)]

Hi guys wondering if anyone can help with certain maps..

Every time a map that shows up with MPUI_(Mapname) i get following error

mp_(mapname).ff different from server error

This only happens when map starts with MPUI

I use a Imac 2013 for cod4. Version Number on game is 1.7.549

I have downloaded maps again same error..

Any help would be appreciated as i have to wait until next map rotation to play a game hoping no MPUI maps comes up.

Cheers George

You deleted the files relative to that map including that .ff file and allowed the server to download it again with the same error?

[George :)]

Good Idea didn't think of that will do it.... Thanks for that will let you know how i go..

[George :)]

The maps are not in my usermaps folder, so don't know how its getting this error.

in some cases there is a canceled download file. Change your view to "show hidden / concealed fielnames" or something like that (I don't exactly know how it's written in english).

Then you should find some files with crazy names lieke 1hk23mioue1345.** Remove them as well. 
COD tries to finish the download and detects a wrong version.

What type of Mac COD4 are you using? Mac App Store, Steam or optical disk 'physical' version?

Open your Cod4 folder and search mp.carentan.ff ...Mine is located in the "zone" folder...I would just right click and rename OLDmp.carentan.ff temporary then download...

this is the location of mine but I use Steam C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty 4\zone\english

I attached the one I have to this thread  download it and you can put it in there

Unfortunately carentan is also a stock map name and there can be potential conflicts. Be careful renaming stock maps if you truly dont need to. Certainly dont delete them.

It is stock and the file must come from someone as you can not download it...I tried to upload here but it did not work so here is a sharable link from google drive

Here is the link for it https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cGYq7pj4mdsOeQ_pJjvRomMb20ncQzUN/view?usp=sharing

Stock maps don't show up in your map folder, so you can't delete them. There is how ever a non stock map called carentan. So if this map is put in a rotation, what map are we actually running?

Let us know how you make out...There may be a chance you are also missing mp_carentan_load if you did not see any mp_carentan...

[George :)]

Thanks LoaderXI the downloaded fill did the job..  i was missing mp_carentan.ff file.

and your right i don't have mp_carentan_load file either in zone folder, so I'm guessing I going to need that as well or I will have issues down the road..

Don't know how there not there, must have been when transferring between mac..

And thanks to everyone who gave me advice and help.

Cheers George

That might cause a hash error when the game loads for anti-cheat purposes. But yes in zone/yourlanguage should be all the stock maps. mp_creek etc. mp_carentan is Chinatown that comes in the CoD4 varitety map pack DLC.

[George :)]

I think some how i am missing stock maps, i somehow must have stuffed up my transfer in zone /english folder.

As i no longer have any cd access I just backed up the cod4 folder in applications (Mac) and transferred to current Mac..

I have never had a hash error and hopefully wont as all my files where original until now when I downloaded carentan files, but if i do i will get back to you all, to see how to repair..

Chinatown worked without a issue but will wait until map rotations to see how we go with the rest and will update you all.

Cheers Guys thanks for your help.

Ok Killhouse same issue so i don't trust downloading any files from the net. If anyone can help with this as well, same error so i'm guessing i need the zone folder files.

[Sammy]

See PM.

Zone folder shows 19.5gbs on my end (right click on folder then click properties)

These files are in the English folder with in the Zone folder...
