Moviemaking for dummies - Setting up Call of Duty 4

Now it´s time to properly set up CoD4.

//Notice: If you use CoD4player, skip this step

and read on at "SETTING UP VDUB".

* Go to your Call of Duty folder and find "iw3mp.exe".

* Create a shortcut , send it to your desktop/quicklaunch bar or whereever you can access it fast.

* Rename the shortcut to smth like MOVIE so you can identify it.

What we are going to do now is simply modify the shortcut so the game will start in the mod we want it to. So right-click on the shortcut and choose properties. A new window with some tabs will open. Select the "shortcut" tab and find a field called "Target" It should say something like this by default: "C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4\iw3mp.exe". We will now tell the game to load the mod we want and also execute our movie cfg (assumed u placed it in main).

After we are done it should look somewhat like this: "C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4\iw3mp.exe" +set fs_game mods/yourmodname +exec movie.cfg where "yourmodname" stands for the modfolder you´re working with. It´s important here to place all parameters AFTER the " (quotation marks) Otherwise it won´t work.

Or just delete the quotation marks from the target, also works:

C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4\iw3mp.exe +set fs_game mods/modname +exec movie.cfg

Alright we are basically set for recording , but we still need to set up VirtualDub but that will be a piece of cake :)
