Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

I'm quite sure it is possible by using a VariablePictureNode or something similar, but since I have neither time nor will to experiment with all that undocumented menu mess, I'll just resort to using the bink option. Thanks!

Hi, I'd like to modify LoadMenu in menu.rfa, so that it would display a randomly chosen picture from a given path within the same archive. The pictures reside in /menu/loadpics/ and are named 01.tga through 10.tga. I want the game to take one picture at random and display it each time a map is loade...

Instead of a "death bubble" SupplyDepot you can set your invisible PCO to cause a huge ExplosionDamage (like 9999) in a very small ExplosionRadius (like 0.2.) Use either TimeToLive or CriticalDamage to make it die as soon as it spawns and make it spawn on exactly same coordinates as the ta...

That's a great idea with this contest. I think that maps should also be judged by actual players. Let some people play the map, gather data to see if sides are balanced, maybe gather several opinions and average them to see if players actually like the map. IMHO this would be just as important as al...

Oh, actually that didn't occur to me, but I did look at the 2142 Nekomata code. I haven't played DC for a long time, but now I think I remember there was some kind of hovercraft there...

Of course there were no repulsor engines back ...

Yep, I wrote it.
There's a link to it in video description, and I added an annotation about it. Thought it was pretty obvious
If you have any comments about the tutorial, I encourage you to post them (either here or on my website).

Very nice. I like how it composes with music. Hearing sound effects for "frozen" scenes is quite original too.

And here's something I did during the BF-Heroes pre-release hype:

Unfortunately I don't know of any Bf1942 mod with destructible vanilla buildings. If you want a code template, just unpack Battle_of_Britain.rfa, go inside objects and copy Britain_Factory. Then you can simply replace lodFactory with your own lodObject that contains geometry of another building. You...

I've seen a shooting free camera, but never figured how to make one.
Obviously you want to edit MultiplayerFreeCamera template.
I tried adding FireArms and HandFireArms to it, but it didn't work...
