Title: Map Making: Where can i find the program?
Post by: JiffyNoodles on September 09, 2014, 04:27:34 am
As the Topic title reads, i am wondering where i can find the Map maker for W@W because i am wanting to get into the map making sector of custom Z's and really don't know where to find them.
If anyone could direct to me to any website with the map maker in to as well as any tips for making maps would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
J.N

If you have the digital copy of the game(not steam) then you need to patch your game

Then you can ignore that, if you can already play custom maps then  you should be good to go, just need to install the mod tools

When you installed World at War did you choose a custom path? It will be wherever you chose it to install to, try searching all of your primary drive and seeing if you can find it

Right click the button you use to open WAW and click properties after that open file location and you should now be in the root location.

Just one more question, do the mod tools go into any of these files or just by itself in the CODW@W file?
EDIT: Just downloaded the files, now how do i open them and what is launcher.exe (please don't mock me, i am only a noob to the mapping thing, since i am only a BETA tester)
All help will be appreciated

FYI Jiffy everyone thinks your game is pirated because it should never really be in My Documents unless that's the path that was assigned when it was installed. If it's pirated, you can't install the mod tools.

Years back I actually got a pirated copy working with the tools, but I only did it to check it out. I imagine now we are patched to 1.7, this probably doesnt work now and you should not do it anyway. Support your favorite developers!

At the time I lacked the understanding to use it, I had hoped you were able to open the sock maps in Radiant (I just wanted to see if I could find anything new), I just wanted to see what it was like

Im now a proud owner of the Steam version, Although steam causes me all kinds of issues with launcher - most likely issues with my PC though, had problems with it lately

Not like I was promoting it, in fact I clearly said he shouldnt do it, and it possibly no longer worked as of patch 1.7.

Also I like how you only called "me" out on that...

Chill dude
