How are mods being made?

[Mutley]

New to the whole Modding scene, wondering how modifications are been made when the SDK hasn't been released, is there some CoD2 programs that work or something?

Thanks,
Mutley.

There are some people out there who are Beta testing the Map/Mod Tools for IW. You can read about their work and comments on the forums at infinityward.com. There's no solid ETA yet, but I'd wager the tools will be out for everyone within the next 4-6 weeks.

As for other mods already out, most of them just involve scripting changes.

Thanks, do you know how I can find more out about changing the scripts like current mods? Is there any tutorials or Wikis on it?

I'm guessing this is what you want?

How do I use the script commands as an example if I wanted to do a really simple mod? They seem easy on/off or option variable, just don't know how to execute one. Is there any tutorials that can be used from CoD2 at all?

Thanks for your help guys much appreciated.

For example,

level.player AllowSprint(false);

If I just tried inserting that in the PAM mod it doesn't work, I guess I need to define the "player" part somewhere, to as what is a "player"?

Post your questions on the InfinityWard.com or IWnation.com forums...more modders/mappers/scripters hang out there.

Just be sure you search first for the answers you're looking for, or you'll get flamed for being a noob. They're helpful for the most part, but kinda arrogant and elitist too.
