1. UNZIP (unpack) the RAR file (you need a unpack-program like winrar or unrar. Just ask Mr.Google. Most of them are freeware)
2. now you have one file called mp_mapname.ff ("mapname" is just an example!) and maybe one called mp_mapname.gsc.
(The *.ff file is some kind of container-file (like a rar or a zip) which includes all the data you need to play the map.
Some other maps you can find in the internet may have several more files e.g. a mp_mapname_beta.ff, mp_mapname.gsc
or *.iwd file. These additional files are not necessary generally! There a also maps which only have
a single mp_mapname.ff. It is different from case to case. So don`t worry about a single mp_mapname.ff even if the internet
will tell you otherwise. It will work!)
3. Go to your "Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare installation folder" (Where your COD4 game is installed)
Example : C![:\](/smilies/erm.gif "erm :\")
Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\ (or wherever you installed COD4)
4. Search in your Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare installation folder a folder called "usermaps"
- if it does not exist, then create one!
5. After finding (or creating) the "usermaps" folder, you have to create another folder in your "usermaps" folder
which has the same name as the map you want to install (Example: map file name is "mp_mapname.ff - then the folder
will be named as "mp_mapname".)
6. Put your "mp_mapname.ff" into the "mp_mapname" directory.
(Finally, it should look like this : cProgram Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\usermaps\mp_mapname\mp_mapname.ff)
7. The last thing you have to do is to place a SECOND copy of your "mp_mapname.ff" to the "english" folder
(or "german",whatever your language version of COD4 is) in your "zone" folder of your COD4 installation directory.
(Example: CProgram Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\zone\english\mp_mapname.ff)
9. Optionally you must paste your "mp_mapname.gsc"
(if there is one)
in "\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\raw\maps\mp".
(if these folders do not exist, create them!)
10. You are done...
