Aberdeen main cap to uncap ??

[X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X]

On a totally unmodded vanilla version of Battlefield 1942 1.61b

- how does one change axis and allies main bases on Aberdeen into uncapturable main bases ?

( they are capturable by default )

You can do this by adding this line to the control point(s) in question:

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.unableToChangeTeam 1

It should be server-side compatible as well.

[X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X]

thanks for the reply, but which archive should i add this line to ?

Aberdeen.rfa

or

aberdeen_003.rfa

or both ? or another archive ?

and which path ?

conquest -> controlpointtemplates ?

[Swaffy]

Add it to the template in ControlPointTemplates.
The RFA file is Aberdeen_003 if it has the ControlPointTemplates file in it.

[Apache Thunder]

Always modify the _001 and so on patch RFAs since those override anything in the original map RFA.

ok .... thx for the clarification on that

i have now spent 8+ hours investigating this subject, experimenting with settings and reading tonnes of old posts about this ....

i have made the mains on aberdeen uncaps...

- but the white flag icon still comes up when moving close to the flag, and the flag icon on the minimap still has no slash through it

as far as i have understood from reading many of the old posts ... it isn't possible to get the above to change ... is that correct ?

my current code :

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.radius 0
ObjectTemplate.team 1
ObjectTemplate.spawnGroupId 1
ObjectTemplate.objectSpawnerId 1
ObjectTemplate.areaValue 0
ObjectTemplate.timeToGetControl 9999
ObjectTemplate.timeToLoseControl 9999
ObjectTemplate.disableIfEnemyInsideRadius 0
ObjectTemplate.disableWhenLosingControl 0
ObjectTemplate.loseControlWhenEnemyClose 1
ObjectTemplate.loseControlWhenNotClose 0
ObjectTemplate.unableToChangeTeam 1
ObjectTemplate.geometry flagbase_m1
ObjectTemplate.hasCollisionPhysics 1
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate AnimatedFlag
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/8.2/0
ObjectTemplate.setTeamGeometry 1 flagge_m1
ObjectTemplate.setTeamGeometry 2 flaguk_m1

o
- but the white flag icon still comes up when moving close to the flag, and the flag icon on the minimap still has no slash through it

i dont think thats possible if your ssm modding.

i would look at the code from a uncappable mainbase flag (from witch ever map that has one)

also you could change this to 0 (off)

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.loseControlWhenEnemyClose 1
