reinstalled...probably a noob question buut...

Hey guys. Just curious about this. I reinstalled COD4 on my new machine, and while I have all my admin abilities, it seems that I need to start my rank from the ground level. Is there any way to get your previous rank back so that you have access to all your old perks/weapons? Thanks.

fi you have your old machine you should be able to copy your player file into the new install, but I have only had one cup of coffee so far so I could be completely wrong

(kidding) lol

 

Anyways serious face:

Yes there is a way but only if you saved your player folder. tutorial:

@hipple, long as he has his old configs to his game laying around then yes he can just transfer his files from there.

 

Pretty much what you do is take your player file, as seen in the tutorials, copy it or drag it to desktop. Then reinstall/reset your cod4 game. Then open up your new download and then paste in the old player folder.

 

Only way to do it..but from what it sounds like you are SOL because you already reinstalled your game.

player profile copy  will work after re installl as long as the GUID remains the same. IE: if you install fresh new COD4, with new guid, your old profile will not work.

Derp. Guess those of you that hated my claymores have a bit of a reprieve.

That's a shame.  I keep several copies of my player's folder on different usb drives.  I back it up about once a month and at the very least once a quarter.  I also keep copies of my mod folder too.  Because my download times are real slow I don't want to have to download them again either.  But as stated if you got a new GUID then it really doesn't matter.

I am guessing his guid is the same as he has admin on servers.. Only if he has a copy of the player profile the bingo

As far as I am aware FA doesn't consider ranking hacks as actually hacking so you could do that. I have never done it before but I am sure you could find a youtube video about it.

It is a hack that affects your game and profile. Lots of people see a promod cfg as "cheating".

So yes, FA do see rank hack as a cheat and it should not be used.

 

To save your rank, save the entire profile folder in CoD4.

I installed CoD4 on a new SSD a few nights ago and copied my folder from my old HDD, worked fine. I ended up creating a new profile anyway but replacing the folder should work.

Oh really? I didn't know that. Huh, learn something new every day.

I have my player folder saved, and this weekend I'll try what speed was saying. I've just been too busy to sit down and give it a good, solid go. Thanks guys, i'll let you know.

Just because I recently discovered this post, I will go ahead and add this:

 

 

I will say this once and only once.

 

If you have used it or any similar program or save edit or mp_data/registry exploit and you enjoy being in the clan, do yourself a favor and don't tell me or anyone else. Keep that information to yourself. It is not something to brag about.

 

Anything that will give you quick levels or give you levels, perks and weapons you haven't earned yet is as bad as a cheat in my book. Don't care if you did it because your mp_data got corrupted or not, it's happened to most of us at one point or another...I know the frustration, shit it has happened to me 4-5 times in my cod career. This is why it is always encouraged to make regular back-ups of your COD4 profiles.
