i followed this tutorial
Radiant Tutorials: How To Add Cod 4 Models To Your Zombie Map
but when i went to my images folder there was nothing in it! 

you probably need to extract every single iwd file and then copy the iwi files to waw's images folder. if that doesn't work either, you also need to copy material and material properties from cod4's to cod5's raw folder without overwriting anything.

there is a tool to port cod 4 models to cod 5

You just copy/paste the materials, images, and xmodels. No conversion is necessary. I think Tom made a tool which grabs the images/materials associated with a specific xmodel for you.

i know that my problem is that the image folder in the file it creates is empty!

CoD4 modtools do not come with an images folder. You need to extract each part of the images folder from each of the IWD files in the cod4root/main folder first. The reason you are not getting any images is because there are none extracted for the program to grab.

I think Tom's XmodelUtils has a built-in task for this if you are super lazy.

FYI the answer Treminaor just gave could have been found in the comments of the video.

i did that step but i just realized i may of got i wrong
