Where to find models and prefabs
For Models right click the 2D screen, go down to misc-model. Directory is 'C:\ProgramFiles\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\raw\xmodel\' here should contain all the extracted model files.
For Prefabs right click the 2D screen, go down to misc-prefab. Directory is 'C:\ProgramFiles\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\map_source. Then either enter prefabs folder or select a file there
compile errors
Problem - Max Cells Exceeded
Solution - You have too many structure brushes in your map. Go threw your map and make every brush that is NOT a part of a structure into a detail brush.(i.e. everything inside a house including inner walls and inner floors, excluding roof,walls,and bottom floor)
To do this select the brush you wish to change and right click the 2D window and go down to make detail.
Problem - Node has no volume
Solution - you have a brush that has re-sized itself to non existent. This typically happens when resizing,cutting, or rotating in the 0.5 grid. Only solution i have found to fix this problem is manually select every single brush in your map, Go to New map then copy selection. rename your map then compile. If error is gone delete old map file and rename new map file to old name.
Problem - *******Leaked***********
Solution - you have no sky box or your skybox is not sealed or lined up correctly. First draw a box around your entire map with a lot of extra space between your box and anything in your map. Second choose the hollow function from your toolbar. Third re-size each brush created from hollowing to fit exactly with the other brushes(do not forget ceiling and floor brushes). Fourth Hold Cntrl-Shft then left click the inside of all 6 brushes(ceiling,floor,4 walls). Go up to textures then usage and click sky. Choose a sky texture that fits your map(make sure it is a multi-player sky texture you choose). save and compile
Problem - cod4map.exe has stoppped working
Solution - you used too many patch-primitive-cone features in cod4 radiant
You must take out some of your cones that you worked so hard on making and try recompiling until this error goes away.
From what I get from most websites this is some kind of flaw in cod4 radiant
Problem - max_map_draw_verts
Solution - Currently unknown, Still trying to figure this one out myself :-)
