Call of Duty 5: Vehicles in MP

This tutorial will explain how to add Tanks to your Multiplayer levels.

The tanks contained in the pack below (second download) are as follow:

Panzer IV: Armored MG, Unarmored MG - Armored Flamethrower, Unarmored Flamethrower
T34      : Armored MG, Unarmored MG - Armored Flamethrower, Unarmored Flamethrower

They all have fully working FXs, Sounds, Damage, HUD stuff;

Pre-requisite

• Modtools patch 1.1
• Additional files

• • The latter contains soundaliases/sound/vehicle/destructibledef/destructiblepieces/gsc/clientscripts/physic and map example;
    
  • Simply unzip in your Call Of Duty 5 Installation folder;
    
    

All files contained in the pack are custom or stock but one stock file ONLY is modded /maps/mp/_vehicles.gsc so make sure to backup this file!

In Radiant

• Open your map in Radiant and place the Tank prefabs by right-clicking on the 2D view > misc > prefab

• Browse to ..\Call of Duty - World at War\map_source\_prefabs\MP\ and pick the desired prefab
• Place in map and drop to ground using the drop to ground tool as shown below:

• Add more tank prefabs if desired
• Save your map and exit radiant

Update the Zone file

• Open your Map Zone File (in ..\Call of Duty - World at War\zone_source\) and add the following lines:

// added for tanks
include,vehicles_drivable_mp
rawfile,clientscripts/mp/mp_test_tanks.csc
sound,vehicles,veh_mp,all_mp
rawfile,clientscripts/mp/_t34_flm.csc
rawfile,clientscripts/mp/_panzeriv_flm.csc
rawfile,maps/mp/_t34_flm.gsc
rawfile,maps/mp/_panzeriv_flm.gsc
rawfile,maps/mp/_vehicles.gsc

Make sure to comment out or remove the line impactfx,mp_test_tanks or the map will not start!!

• Save and close

Check the map GSC file

• Check that your main Map GSC contains the line maps\mp\_load::main(); as shown in the example map in pack:

main()
{
	maps\mp\_load::main();

	game["allies"] = "marines";
	game["axis"] = "japanese";
	game["attackers"] = "allies";
	game["defenders"] = "axis";
	game["allies_soldiertype"] = "pacific";
	game["axis_soldiertype"] = "pacific";

}

Compile

• Using Launcher compile your map and test! All going well you will have something like this:
