reversing a mod map for vanilla BF1942 use

[Abstract]

Hi,

Does anyone have a list of objects etc which came with the Road To Rome expansion that I can use to remove from a map I created to use with the RTR mod? (so that I can successfully use for vanilla BF1942).

Thanx in advance

[Swaffy]

Usually these are what you need to change:
- <game mode>/ObjectSpawnTemplates.con (the vehicles used)
- init.con (the weapon kits in the spawn menu)
- StaticObjects.con (All of the mod-specific statics)

Now that ApacheThunder figured out a way to make mapside HandFireArms, perhaps all three of these can be done mapside and you don't have to convert everything to vanilla BF1942 after changing the map's mod ID. In other words, it will be a vanilla BF1942 level but with mapside addons from other mods.

Hi Swaffy,

Thanx for the reply - not sure what you mean by "mapside" (do you know where can I find info / instructions on how to go about this?) although it would obviously be great if I didn't need to do very much to get the map to work in vanilla bf )

Just been looking at the staticobjects.con - my problem is a I cant remember which objects I need to take out lol...Having to relearn all that I learned years ago .. (I`m guessing I will have the same issue with the ObjectSpawnTemplates.con)

In any event - thanx again for your reply

Update.............Have looked at his handgun posting - not sure how I would go about adapting it to overcome the issues I am having - but thanx for suggesting it

Hi Swaffy,

[2] Thanx for the reply - not sure what you mean by "mapside" (do you know where can I find info / instructions on how to go about this?) although it would obviously be great if I didn't need to do very much to get the map to work in vanilla bf )

[3] Just been looking at the staticobjects.con - my problem is a I cant remember which objects I need to take out lol...Having to relearn all that I learned years ago .. (I`m guessing I will have the same issue with the ObjectSpawnTemplates.con)

In any event - thanx again for your reply

[1] Update.............Have looked at his handgun posting - not sure how I would go about adapting it to overcome the issues I am having - but thanx for suggesting it

[1] About the hand weapon, I'd only use it if the map calls for weapons from a different mod. Really you can just switch out the kits for vanilla BF1942 kits, it really isn't important. The whole point of using a mapside weapon is to use weapons that are not vanilla BF1942 in a vanilla BF1942 map.

[2] "Mapside" modding is basically adding custom mods to a map's RFA file, instead of them being in a mod. This way, you can have mods on a map that is still running vanilla BF1942. There should be tutorials here if you search for them.

[3] I'll take a look at your list ...

Here is what I found that is not vanilla. I grouped together vehicles that are a part of the same template.

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 m3grant

ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 m11-39

ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 m3gmc
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 sturmgeschutz

ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 itlcvp

ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 at25
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 pak40

I'm not sure what a "jak9" is, but you might want to check that out too.

[Abstract]

Thanx & thanx for taking the time Swaffy

[Swaffy]

Sure thing, I hope it all works out for you.
