All you should need is to save the file ETKEY onto a USB flash drive from your MAC at home, and put it in place of ETKEY file at work.

 

File is in ETMAIN folder.

Derp me. I really have to stop posting in help topics in the morning before I've fully woken up. Thanks Speed

 

I think as long as file extensions are the same, he should have no issue moving the 1 folder/files within, as it's not actually being installed, the information is only being read by the game.

hahah its cool mate, ive been there...should see me when i put salt in the coffee...blah.

but yeh i think its either the player file or the main...imo you should just copy them all lol. (again not a mac expert though....)

I would use the following in Terminal:

 

 

ls -lR /Applications/Games/"Call of Duty 4"/"Call of Duty 4 Data" > ~/COD.txt

 

You'll want to replace "/Applications/Games" with whatever the pathway to your COD folder is (I can help you with that later, if you don't know how i.e. users and such).

 

This will create a .txt file in your Home folder listing all the files in your Data folder, sorted by files. If that is too difficult to look at, add a /main or a /player or what have you to make more that are folder specific...just remember to give each one a different name in the "~/COD.txt" area.

 

THEN cross reference it to the files on the PC, make sure everything is there. If it has all the files listed on the .txt file, just replace the Data folder completely.

 

A bit arduous, but better safe than sorry.

 

Or you could just replace the folder and reinstall if you mess anything up.

 

But it's more fun to over complicate things.

 

I'm kinda bored right now.....

Go to \~Library\ (by going into Finder and pressing Cmd + Shift + G)

Go into the folder "Application Support."

Go to the folder Call of Duty 4 (or something like that)

Go into the "users" file.

Drag the user account you want to migrate into a flash drive or something like that.

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE

Start up Call of Duty 4 with a different user.

Go into Multiplayer.

Go into Options, then Multiplayer Options.

Once you're in there, go to the area marked "serial key" or whatever the "code" is for your game.

Copy the code onto like a piece of paper or something that you can take to your PC that you want to migrate it to.

 

Go to your new computer (or whatever).

Migrate the user data from the flash drive onto the computer desktop.

Go into the new CoD 4 and replace that serial key with the one from the original one you have on the paper or whatever.

Now close CoD 4 and go into the Start Menu.

Type into the "go" window %appdata%

Go into the roaming folder.

I think (I've never done this on a PC before but I do it with Minecraft mods all the time) there should be a CoD 4 folder (or Call of Duty or anything like that) that you can go into.

If there is, go into the users folder and copy the user folder you took off your Mac into it.

Now start up CoD 4 again, go into a FA server, and see if all your stuff is still there. If when you go into Multiplayer an error comes up saying "An error occurred when copying your data," then you need to try again with the serial key. The serial key makes your GUID change, and that's whats important to the data.

 

I hope this helps! I just had to move my CoD 4 file from the family Mac to my new Mac computer, and this is how I did it. Even with the serial key. I hope this works out for you.
