FAQ
Install / Uninstall
Where are mods / maps stored and how can I install / remove one manually
Location : C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Activision\CodWaW\mods
Create the directory if it does not exist and put your downloaded mods folder in there. (be sure to extract the files first, do not put *.zip *.7z *.rar files in there
To remove a mod, simply delete the folder.
For Plutonium users:
The mods folder is not the default one! New location : C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\plutonium\storage\t4\mods
(You might want to symlink or copy your previous installed mods to the new location)
I received a ZIP, RAR or 7Z file - what do I do with it?
Ensure the file is retrieved from a trustworthy source and extract it into your mods directory: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Activision\CodWaW\mods
I received an exe file - what do I do with it?
Ensure the file is retrieved from a trustworthy source and simply execute it.
The map should be then installed and eventually a desktop shortcut was created
Console
How do I open the console?
Simply press ~ or ^ depending on your keyboard.
Eventually you need to enable the console in the game settings first!
Launch map
How do I launch a game solo?
Some maps offer a solo button on the main menu.
Otherwise simply open the console and type in map %mapname%
(for example: map nazi_zombie_bunker
)
T4M
What is T4M and why do I need it?
Some maps exceed the engine limits and therefore require T4M which increases those.
Also T4M has some game fixes and other minor features.
