Allow custom maps without requiring mods #5

Open PureTryOut opened 8 years ago

PureTryOut commented 8 years ago

This has been a bane in my existance since I started hosting servers.

Currently, if you want to run any custom map, Cod4 requires you to specify a mod, even if it's not wanted. Since I want the stock Cod4 gameplay but with custom maps like ports from MW2 and other games, this is really annoying.

Currently I specify an empty mod folder, and set ModStats to 0 and sv_showasranked to 1. When a player joins, it still looks like the player is starting a mod, as it shows something like mod played: myemptymodfolder on the load screen.

Could (I guess using the client-side Cod4X) an option be added to play custom maps without loading a mod?

Well I'd rather like to turn a set of high quality custom maps new "official" maps instead letting every server download whatever map/assets it wants to.

Sure, that could work as well.

My server only runs maps ported from other Cod games like MW2, MW3, BO2 and more. Some are really high quality (mostly the MW2 and MW3 ones). Would you want those maps or actually from scratch ones? If so, look into maps made by Miregrobar (he also made most of the MW2 maps).

So since there aren't any new "official" maps, 6 years later, I'll reopen this. I'd still like the ability to play custom maps without running a mod.
