Testing maps offline

To test a map offline, load any SR mod (e.g. SR Speedrun) and use /devmap <mapname> in the console to load your map directly without going through the server.

Using the SR API

Maps interact with SR through the API modules. Depending on the game mode you're building for, import the relevant module and call its functions from your map script.

See the Documentation for all available modules and functions.

Developer mode

Enabling developer mode gives you in-game debug information such as entity names and other diagnostic overlays.

Use /developer 1 in the console before loading a map.

3D entity visualization

For full 3D visualization of triggers and entities in-game, use the following launch configuration.

Create a shortcut to iw3mp.exe from your CoD4 folder, right-click it, open Properties, and set the Target field to:

"D:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Cod4Mod\iw3mp.exe" +set fs_game "mods\sr_speedrun" +set logfile 2 +set monkeytoy 0 +set com_introplayed 1 +set developer 1 +set developer_script 1 +set thereisacow 1337

Adjust the path and fs_game value to match your setup.

Creating a trigger

Triggers are created in-game using bound keys. Set up your bindings in the multiplayer control menu before starting.

Key Action
Melee Create a trigger
Use Increase width
Grenade Increase height
Smoke Toggle collision

Once saved, the generated script is written to sr_dev/games_mp.log.

Getting a spawn position

  1. Stand upright at the desired spawn location.
  2. Run /centerview and /viewpos in the console.
  3. Open the full console with Shift + console key and copy the position line.

Use createSpawn if the origin comes from an in-game position — it accounts for the 60-unit player height offset automatically. Use createSpawnOrigin if the origin comes from Radiant or /debug_show_viewpos.
