Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

You can make models in blender and then export to max, but they won't look half as pretty due to format issues. While blender is better on many levels than the old max, having to correct your exported mesh doesn't make it worthwile to use it.

The init.con in your map says: rem This is a minimal configuration file created by Editor42 rem so that it can load back levels it has created. rem This level will not load in Battlefield 1942 with this config. rem Replace this config with a template or from one of another level. Looks like editor42...

Welcome aboard. Looks like path error. Battlefield hates it when your rfa archives don't have proper paths inside them. You probably packed just the level folder (for example Bocage) and that gives you just /Bocage as the path, while it should have been /bf1942/levels/Bocage. If your rfa tool allows...

I did some research and there's another idea. Look at UH60, it has an engine called usthe_uh60_Rotor. ObjectTemplate.setMaxRotation 0/0/150 ObjectTemplate.setMaxSpeed 0/0/1 ObjectTemplate.setAcceleration 0/0/10 ObjectTemplate.setInputToRoll PIThrottle If I'm right (I have no way to test it right now...

Potential pitfalls: a) Don't forget to attach a camera to your missile, or the game will crash while firing. b) The FireArms object that fires your missile has to use ObjectTemplate.fireOnce (or ObjectTemplate.altFireOnce if you use c_PIAltFire for launch) or the game will crash. Even if there's jus...

The chance for those properties to work is rather slim, because they're made for (Hand)FireArms objects and not for Engine objects. Of course BF sometimes allows to use wrong properties on wrong types, you never know. I would add an invisible c_ETPlane engine with limited fuel ( ObjecTemplate.HeatIn...

All bf1942 PB files are still download-able from the evenbalance website. The only thing missing is the links page. I recovered it from the google cache and saved here: http://dznmods.tk/pb/ In case the PB files ever disappear, they're all backed up here: http://dznmods.tk/pb/files/ edit: updated to...

Honestly, the last PB update was back in 2008, so I assume people have been doing undetectable hacks for quite some time now. No big deal.
As for now, PB seems to work perfectly, and although the official support page on evenbalance.com is gone, the client still updates and PBSetup works flawlessly.
