Call of Duty 5: MP - Adding Dogs

Tutorial to add those dreaded Dogs to your Levels!

Missing Prefabs

IMPORTANT: Treyarch didnt include the MP Prefabs so here they are:

DOWNLOAD MISSING MP PREFABS

Simply unpack in your cod5_root, all folder structure is already done.

List of included prefabs for this section:

• dog_exit_node.map
• dog_nopatrol_node.map
• dog_spawner.map
• dog_spawn_node.map

Theory

Almost everything needed for dogs are in the "map_source\_prefabs\MP\" folder as prefabs. There are 5 things needed to successfully setup your map.

• dog_spawner
  • You only need one of these in your map and place it flush with the ground.
• dog_spawn_node
  • A dog will spawn from each of these and start to follow the closest path.
• dog_exit_node
  • The dogs will return to these when time is up, generally you only need one per group of dog_spawn_node(s).
• nopatrol_node
  • Place these to have dogs follow them at full speed with no wandering.
    • These CANNOT be more than 256 units apart.
• node_pathnode
  • This is the only entity that is not a prefab, found by "Right clicking the grid -> Node -> Pathnode"
    • Dogs will patrol these nodes and they CANNOT be more than 256 units apart.

In Radiant

1. Place a dog_spawner anywhere in the play area flush with the ground like a dm_spawn.
2. Place 4 dog_spawn_nodes.

• It is possible to place them outside the play area and using nopatrol_nodes have them run in.

3. Place a dog_exit_node close to each group of dog_spawn_node.
4. If your going to use nopatrol_nodes then place them now.
5. Fill your map with node_pathnodes making sure they aren't farther than 256 units apart and only placing them where you want dogs to go. This means that if you have a large part that is inaccessible to the player or you want to be a safe spot then don't bother placing path nodes there.

Final steps

Save, Compile, Test.

• When compiling ensure you have "Connect Paths" selected in your Compile level options.
• Double check that you have a Map GSC file.
• Use "/devmap mp_yourmapname" to load your map and this also enables cheats.
• Give yourself dogs with "/give dogs_mp" in console.
• The maximum of dogs allowed is 8 but only 4 can be spawned at a time, so if one dies another will come up to 8.
