Here is the console command:

/waypointIconHeight "36"

/waypointIconWidth "36"


I set mine to 10. I love it.

we know if there is any way to permanently shrink them to 10 instead of having to do it each and every map change?

You can also add them to your shortcut using +set waypointIconWidth # and +set waypointIconHeight #.

example:

Target: "C:\Program Files\Games\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" +set waypointIconWidth 16 +set waypointIconHeight 16

Can't you add them to your config_mp file which is located here?

C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles\yourname

Well, either my recent clean install of Vista or the 1.5 upgrade seems to have made this file obsolete. I know that in order to get my profile and settings back after the Vista install, I copied my old ../profile folder to the game directory. Now any changes that I make to the file aren't reflected in game and the complete removal of the entire set of files has no effect either, so I would have to say that this may not be the case for at least some of us. I'm still trying to figure out what's happened here. Anyone have any insight on this?

Ref the Icon size I did this and it works fine for me, old eyes mean I set mine to 16 though.

If you write in console /seta waypointIconWidth 16 and then /seta waypointIconHeight 16, they automaticly went into the MP config.

Otherwise, your best bet is to start the game normally (not joining any server), write the commands in, then exit the game.
That way they save themselves, does not seem to work when you join a game through X-fire and such.

I swear I tried this already and it didn't work for me. I'll try again and repost.

Ok! This is what worked for me. I'm running Windows Vista Business Edition with CoD4 patched to 1.5 - of course.

Start CoD4.
Pull up console (shift + tilde).
Enter the following commands:

/seta waypointIconWidth 16
/seta waypointIconHeight 16

Join a server!

Quitting without joining a server didn't save the configuration changes.
Joining a server and then entering the commands will also save the configuration changes.

This leads me to believe that the configuration is only checked for changes and written during the process of joining or leaving a server and possibly ingame.
The /seta (setalways?) command is crucial. Without it, it will not permanently save the changes.

Another anomaly that I noticed was that now I can change my ingame tag and use spaces. Due to the 1.5 update? Before all of this, the space key wouldn't register for whatever reason so I manually edited the config_mp.cfg file when I first got the game to accomplish this. Does anyone know if all of this due to the 1.5 update or the different OS (XP vs Vista)? Perhaps the Vista install handles the configuration differently. I can't remember where the profile info was originally located in the XP install. Some games store the player specific info in the My Documents folder in XP.
