Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

Anyone have any ideas on why objects are appearing in bc42 but not in game. I have manually set the init to have run objects/objects from the decompressed rfa and repacked it. More complex items like the eagle nest tunnel and top snow don’t show, but even simple buildings like the Italy tower from t...

Hi, is it possible to set bc42 to read the xpacks as target locations for static objects, factions, etc? Specifically to make a mod for say, secret weapons in the secret weapons mod folder?

Then how do we get it to appear in our maps? I’m new to this and terrible at it too. Can’t ever get custom objects or stuff from the xpacks to work.

Has anyone had luck making a static object that looks like terrain or something similar? I’m looking to make a map with some underground base areas and I cannot get 3dsmax or gmax to run on my system. The object should be flat in some area before curving into a steep mountain that can be placed a fe...

Is that an easy way to get objects to be placeable and visible?
Or what are you talking about exactly?

For specific objects like the tunnel from eagles nest, how do we go about grabbing and adding all the needed files? I’ve tried it twice now and it’ll never show up textured right in bc42 and nothing loads in game. Please advise.

Hi I realized I never did this. Here I’m jdc527, but in games it’s fuzzy sheep. Relatively new to modding, but I just wanna make and improve maps and maybe animations. I may post a lot for help, so sorry for bugging. You guys a a great team of helpers and I appreciate it. See ya on the forums.

Saw the video Senshi posted some time back that had b17s flying apparently by code. I’ve also seen this in a DDay map of Ste. Mere Eglise that had flying C47s as spawn points.
Can someone tell or show me how?

As they got lost before (understandably, as they really are posted in an odd place), I repost my "Beginner's tutorials on animation" videos here http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=1ECA6BA7F4291CEA I only got the first two parts done, simply because there was no more interest in furth...
