Version 1.0.0
Information.

This is a basic guide to get you started playing custom zombie maps. 

STEP

Mod Folder Setup

Before anything you must make sure you have a mods folder, to put the maps and mods you will be downloading and installing. 

  • Open Windows File Explorer.  In the top bar select View and put a check next to "Hidden Items"
  • Navagate to: C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW
  • Create a folder here called "mods".
STEP

Install T4M For Total Map Compatiblity

T4M is a file that allows custom maps to contain more assets.  Many popular maps require this file, so you might as well set it up now.  Click the link on how to install T4M

T4M Installation:

STEP

Downloading Maps & Installing

  • Go to the Waw Map section of the site: https://callofdutyrepo.com/wawmaps/
  • Click on the map you want to download.
  • Click on one of the Direct Download links available.
  • Once the download finishes click on the download and run through the installer.

Note: Some maps you will probably be greeted with a "Windows protected your PC" message.  Click "More Info" and "Run anyway" to continue installation.  All maps on my site have been scanned for viruses, and safe.

STEP

Verify Map Installed

To verify everything installed correctly you can navigate to your mods folder located in Step 1.

C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\mods

You will now see another folder created in the mods folder, named after the map you installed.

STEP

Start Your Game & Launch the Map

Start your Call of Duty World at War game up.  From the menu click on "MODS" and highlight the map you want to play. Click "Launch" to load the map.

STEP

Playing a Solo Game

Many of the newer maps have an easy way to start a game solo and will have a start button added to the menu.  Just click on it to start the game.

STEP

Enable the Developer Console

  • Go to "OPTIONS & CONTROLS".
  • "GAME OPTIONS".
  • Enable Console (Yes)
STEP

Playing a Solo Game With No Start Menu Button

Many older maps do not have a menu button to start the map.  In order to play a map with no start button you must use  console to play the map.

  • To open the console press the "~" key to the left of "1" on the keyboard.
  • In console type devmap (mapname) and enter. 
  • Example: devmap nazi_zombie_eye2
  • Most map names are the same as the name in the mods menu.

TIP: If the map name displayed in the MODS menu doesn't work you can use the mods folder to find the correct name. Navigate to your mods folder (C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW).  Find the folder for the map and open it.  Find the file with a .ff extension, it should be the biggest file in the folder.  This will be the correct name to enter in the console to start the map.

STEP

Playing a Solo Game With No Start Menu Button (Continued)

If the map name displayed in the MODS menu doesn't work you can use the mods folder to find the correct name. Navigate to your mods folder (C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW).  Find the folder for the map and open it.  Find the file with a .ff extension, it should be the biggest file in the folder.  This will be the correct name to enter in the console to start the map.

Example of text to add in console for the screenshot: devmap nazi_zombie_eye2

STEP

Hosting/Playing a Cooperative Game

Make sure you and the other players you are playing with are on the same map version and the map name is titled the same for all players. 

To play a cooperative game will be the same for if the map has a solo start button or not.

  • In the Menu select "COOPERATIVE > HOST ONLINE > GAME SETUP
  • Change the Game Mode to Nazi Zombies.
  • Click on the custom map name to the right and click "Ok".
  • Make sure your friends have loaded the same map as you through the "Mods" menu, then click on "INVITE FRIENDS", to let them join your game.
  • Once they have joined click "START MATCH" to play.

Information.

Many people need to free up disk space on there primary hard disk. World at War can be installed on a different drive, but the custom map data will always be stored on c:/users/xxxx/AppData/Local/Activision/CoDWaW/mods. For a work around we can use Link Shell Extension.

This is the Link Shell extension, needed to move your mods folder.

STEP

Move Your Mods Folder

Navigate to c:/users/(your username)/AppData/Local/Activision/CoDWaW/mods and copy and paste this folder to the hard drive you want your maps/mods to be stored.

STEP

Delete Old Mods Folder

Delete your old mods folder located at

c:/users/(your username)/AppData/Local/Activision/CoDWaW/mods

STEP

Verify

After you do this a folder should appear in c:/users/(your username)/AppData/Local/Activision/CoDWaW/ called mods which will look like a shortcut.

Finished, now all your mods/maps will automatically be saved to your new drive, freeing up your precious C drive space.
