Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

with the recent exploit fixes and the non version specific files (CD vs Origin) allowing both versions to run.. I'm a bit confused what I need.

This is for a dedicated server.

Can someone please list what I need to install for the following. (Perhaps we can make this into a simple guide for anyone else)

Wanted:

to work with either Origin or CD
to be fixed from exploits

anything else important that I should be doing?


Thanks!!!

for windows (cd+origin)

For Linux theres posts how to patch cd+origin posted here, but dunno if theres any "ready to go" files posted

ok, thanks..

so:

- battlefield_1942_server_v1.6.19.exe
- bf1942_server_v1.6_to_v1.61b.exe
- BF1942_w32ded-1.612-keyhash_all_clients.zip

can:

- accept either CD or origin clients
- run higher than 64 player (forgot this but assuming..?)
- is fixed to all current known exploits
?

should punkbuster be installed or now redundant?

yes that should be it i think, no punkbuster (origin has none)

kewl

I notice many servers do run PB.. does it work.. in any configuration still..does it do anything?

nah its crap more or less, only good thing with it is that you can take screenshots, but with the high resolution nowadays you just get a really small part of the screen.
