[Solved]Text to mod?

Hey guys, I'm sure this has been asked a billion times before, I have searched I was a little mind blank on how to search it but I did try and I did find a few threads mentioning it but they said use the search button, fail! Anyways, I want to start using a mod called Brian's Sick Patch (the topic can be found here) Anyways, the link given takes you to a site with the whole code for the mod there, now what do I do with the code, do I just put it into notepad and save it as like brianspatch.iwd and then load it through the console (By the way, I'm using alterIW if that matters) or do I name it as like _ranks.gfc or what. Any help or posts on this topic is appreciated, I'm obviously new and a noob

, thanks!

There is a very simple tutorial written by Neekokeen here:

Thanks for the reply

Unfortunately I was still unable to get it to work, I am nearly positive I did everything right, and I did it twice even, there is a small chance that the mod doesn't work but in the topic everyone says it does so I'm guessing it still does, thanks though, anyone else have any ideas I could try?

Edit: Also, it doesn't matter what I save it as, does it?

howto make an .iwd file

Make a folder called "maps", inside that folder make a folder called "mp", inside that one make a folder called "gametypes" , put ur rank.gsc file inside that one , last folder's name depends on which .gsc file ur using

Now go back to maps right mouse button on that > zip it , pick .zip , change extention to .iwd > zip it up > ur done

next time use search button properly

/Solved

In your alterIW folder, make a folder named mods. Inside that folder, make a folder called.... brian. Inside that folder, put the .iwd you made with Neekokeen's tutorial. (Make sure that the inside of the .iwd has folders like this [maps\mp\gametypes] or something similar).

Now open MW2 and when you are in the party room, (not inside a lobby). Type this into the console:
fs_game mods/brian; vid_restart

Do this:

1. create mods folder in AlterIWnet install directory
2. right click the "Maps" folder of the mod and click "Add to archive..."
3. Select ZIP in the menu
4. change the name when still in the RAR file to "YOURMODNAMEHERE" and change .zip to .iwd (by typing)
5. It should be an .IWD file called "YOURMODNAMEHERE"
6. Create a new folder, exact same name as the .iwd file (Example; YOURMODNAMEHERE" and put the .iwd in there
7. ingame, do "fs_game mods/YOURMODNAMEHERE;vid_restart" without the quotes
8. Thank me on this post (:
9. It should work now!

/SOLVED

he just forgot to [SOLVED] it

Still haven't been able to get it to work *facepalm* and I can't make the "map" folder an .iwd file because there is no map folder, it is just the text file I created. I'm doing everything you guys are saying so my only conclusion is that this mod was possibly created for the xbox so it doesn't work for PC, I can't think of anything else.
