Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

When you start BF1942 and go to the main menu in the bottom left corner it shows the version you are on (v1.61), and also when you go to choose to activate a mod. How do I change the version and description it shows? I remember doing this years ago but have since forgotten.

Edit the init.con of the mod, which you can find in the "bf1942" folder which is located in the "Mods" folder.

Open it with Notepad/Wordpad and you will see the line which defines the version of the mod as well as another that includes a short description of the mod. Here's how I have my init.con set up:

game.CustomGameName battleinf_42
game.addModPath Mods/battleinf_42/
game.addModPath Mods/BF1942/
game.setCustomGameVersion 0.1
game.setCustomGameUrl "http://www.battleinf-42.com"
game.customGameInfo "An honest depiction of Battlefield 1942 infantry by Black Mamba"

Game.setMenuMusicFilename "music/slaughter4.bik"
Game.setLoadMusicFilename "music/vehicle4.bik"
Game.setWinMusicFilename "music/vehicle3.bik"
Game.setLoseMusicFilename "music/menu.bik"
Game.setCampaignLoseMusicFilename "music/theme2.bik"
Game.setDebriefingMusicFilename "music/briefing.bik"

The commands in red refer to what you want to edit.

I remember being being a dork and changing my mod's version number to "Butt" just for laughs.

So it doesn´t have to be a number then
