d, even though the game itself will run on a DX8 video card. Please contact your

The CoD4 Mod Tools do not work in Windows Vista, although some users have report
ed some success running them in Windows XP Compatibility Mode.
CoD4 Mod Tools require that your Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare installation has
been updated to version 1.4. Patches are available at http://www.infinityward.c

Currently, Cod4 Mod tools are only supported for the English version of the game
. Other languages will be supported soon.

-----------------INSTALLATION:
-----------------To install, unzip the files to your Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare directory. T
his is where you installed the game to. The default location is "C:\Program File
s\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare".
Once unzipped you will want to make shortcuts to the following applications:
[gamepath]\bin\CoD4CompileTools\CoD4CompileTools.exe
[gamepath]\bin\MoDBuilder.exe
These are the only two applications that you should have shortcuts to, or run di
rectly from explorer. The other exe files not listed above are not intended to b
e ran directly because they require special working directory and/or command lin
e options. CoD4CompileTools.exe contains propper icons to launch those applicati
ons.
If you plan on using Maya to export models and animation, please refer to the fo
llowing link for maya setup instructions:
