Heeeeeellllp, can't load mod to test it :/

I recently downloaded the black ops mod tools, but I can't seem to load the test mods. The mod tools comes with an example hide-n-seek mod, but I can't seem to load it. In the mod tools window, I selected a multiplayer map in the map selection tab then I click "run" under multiplayer. The game starts, but has problems connecting to the server, and the fs_game dvar isn't set at all. How do you guys load mods in a private match for testing?

[d0h!]

open the game, click on mods in the mainscreen, select the mod and hit apply.
start a private match, success

The modtools screw up when you want to launch a map or something .. just do what doh said

omg, major face palm moment. thank you, I mean cod4 and cod5 had the same exact loading methods lol.

Sorry for the bump, but the mod loads but nothing happens. I think the hide-n-seek mod requires the game type be set to "hns", but black ops says it's an unknown mode. The gsc scripts don't overwrite anything, so is there a way to get the mod working?

its probably only working on unranked. i can load the mod too but nothing happens in private match.

try another mod

I just got it to work after some googling, apparently you have to compile the require fastfile file. You don't have to have the IWD, but without the fastfile it can't register the new type. In the mod tools gui, I just checked everything including "link fastfile". So after loading the mod, setting g_gametype to "hns" and choosing private match, loading a map or combat training, it finally works.
