Hello Xentax-members, i look for a way to disable the ingame portalling of Call of Duty 4 and above. I wonder if it's possible, it would be really useful for the modding community - the stock maps could be remade for other titles of the franchise. there is no dvar to turn off portalling. But there i...

the game rejects custom content (tested by the most active CoD modders, RGN community), so what you need a dds2iwi tool for if you can't use the result?

remove the second DWORD (5th to 8th byte) and use the old iwi2dds utility they added 4 bytes, not sure what they are for. values i found often: 40 03 00 00 40 01 00 00 41 01 00 00 73 01 00 00 70 03 00 00 03 03 00 00 00 00 04 00 you might be interested into this: Quote: Gagarin @ RGN Forums my friend...
