[CoD4] Create .ff using a stand-alone tool

This tutorial is a quick and dirty write-up of how to set up a .ff creating thingy for your cod4 mod.

1. Make a new directory
2. Download cod4 mod tools (https://github.com/promod/CoD4-Mod-T...ive/master.zip)
3. Extract "raw" and "bin" from the mod tools zip into your directory (you can delete everything except linker_pc.exe and mss32.dll from the bin folder if so desired)
4. Create yourdir/zone_source/english/assetlist folder+subfolders
5. Extract all iwd files from your cod4 main into a single folder. Copy the "images" folder into the "raw" folder.
6. Create your own .csv file for your mod and place it in the new directory
7. Create a .bat file in your new directory with the following content:

Code:

---

@echo off
copy /Y mod.csv zone_source
cd bin
linker_pc.exe -language english -compress -cleanup mod
cd ..
pause

---

8. Copy the contents of your mod into the raw directory, overwriting existing files if required
9. Start your .bat file
10. Your mod.ff file is in zone/english folder.

Enjoy.
