Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

I was sniffing around for the cause of this bug with the debugger and while analyzing the horrendous log files I stumbled across this interesting warning: Warning: BFMainNewRend: geom::geometryTemplateManager->deleteAll() temporarly removed, must be put back in order to restart levels Does anyone ha...

You can also juggle with the file formats via the free Gmax program. It's basically an old and stripped down version of the 3Ds max -family, but it works with 42 and you can get plugins that allow you to import different formats like the .obj format, an (old) 3D industry standard.

Sweet model. The Battlefield Mod Development kit contains basic export and import scripts for Gmax and 3ds max. I myself model with Blender, and then export the file in .obj format to Gmax, and then export it as an .sm file for the 42. So the bf1942 engine uses .sm file (standardmesh) for the raw 3d...

Yes I have noticed all kinds of weird bugs with the BC, but the bug I mentioned happens even tough the object limit is not met. Also, it still happens even tough I have deleted most of the objects. Guess I'll have to rebuild those maps. Wish someone with enough time could break the BC source and alt...

From time to time one gets a nice idea for a map and it seems that the map is gonna be epic, but then BC42 happens and the map gets somehow really fucked up. I've had a couple of great looking maps that just decided to implode and corrupt themselves or something. One of the symptoms is that in BC, t...

found this in the old forum, dunno if it helps Just be sure the new textures you make have a resolution that is a power of two. For example: Square Resolutions: 32x32 128x128 256x256 512x512 Rectangle (Wide) Resolutions: 16x32 128x256 512x1024 Yep, that was the problem. Sometimes I don't understand...

You can probably set it at a high velocity and add a "shotgun" effect, with making multiple fireArms positions set at 0/0/0 and an accuracy of about 1.5 or 2. Then, make sure there is only one tracer round per shot. [If there's 4 fireArms positions, set the tracer template to go off once ...

Code optimization makes sense. Guess I'll have to do with 400.

I have multiple times tried to change the barrel velocity of the AA_Allies object, or Bofors 40mm AA-gun if you wish to call it so. Every time I increase the velocity of the shot, the shot no longer explodes around the planes. I have tried to change the ProximityFusePrimer and explodeNearEnemyDistan...

i know i had some small free program to convert pics that worked in bf42, one could save as DXT3 or 5 both worked i think. cant remember its name now but it was simple but got the job done. i think it is a thread somewhere about this kinda stuff in the old forum where i posted the name of the progr...
