i was trying to make a remake of rust from modern warfare 2. in the ugx script placer i chose the map source custom and my friend sent me the map files of the mw2 map. then i changed the .ff file into a .map file so it can work. then when i launched the radiant every thing worked except there was no map template please help

You weren't supposed to turn that .ff file into a .map file. That's like turning a .txt file into an .mp4 file and expecting it to work.

because it's not a map file - you can't just change it and suddenly it'll be one

We have no way to get the source maps - the remakes you see like oil rig were completely remade - not ported

If your new to mapping (which seems like it) i would consider starting with something more simple then building your way up to a complex map like rust. If i were to see a rust map, I think there should be mw2 weapons and what not. But good luck anyways.

Sparky made an ent-dumper that works with pretty much all ents in a map. It wont decompile geometry ( brushes / terrain patches ). So you end up with a map-file that has all path-nodes, models, script-origins etc etc that could help you get the layout / scale of the map as close to the Original as possible. You'd still have to remap pretty much everything though, it's just a guideline ( not sure if it works for mw2 as well btw )
