Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

As a matter of fact, the files i have are exactly the original ones from the normal 2.75 tools, no changes were made to them. They always worked except this stupid screwed up sm/rs import/export function

I was talking to Senshi about the tools the other day, and actually the "only" thing that needs to be fixed for max version 8 is the mesh import/export function, everything else works just as intended with the original 2.75 tools in max8. The 2.75 tools in max8 open EMPTY rs files with the...

This is a typical error if you pack maps using the wrong path. If you pack a map using winrfa, the path in "Base Path" has to look like this: bf1942\levels\mapname If you forget to add "bf1942\levels\" in front of the map name, the result will be this "flat archive". So...

This error message means that at least one bot is trying to use equipment which doesn't have ai templates, which results in a game crash in Coop.

I don't know exactly what your problem is with the files, but maybe this helps:

I use "GoldWave" as sound editor, and wave files have to be saved in this format:

On some maps, which should have a large view distance, i set the viewdistance to 1100 and the loddistance to 1150, resulting in exactly those clip...

If you had read my text properly, you should have noticed that i personally have no problem with someone looking at my code to learn from it or use it in his own, not to be distributed mod. I just said that i have to keep my promises, and if someone tells me "BG42 only" than this is were i...

Now, i hope that nobody feels offended by what i wrote, i only passed on what those devs told me. As someone who has a lot of responsibility for a giant project like BG42, i need to keep everybody satisfied, most of all the devs who created the models, textures, sounds etc. When they asked me to not...

Ripping any content out of BG42, be it for personal use or for a new mod, is forbidden. This content was made solely for BG42, and every single developer made it clear that NONE of their content is to be used outside of BG42, with one exception: A while ago, BG42 and FHSW made a trade agreement, und...
