Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

Well what a fail!
I downloaded the origin version, purely just so there was a load of servers to play on...

Yep, that's sorted it

I've been modding some maps, and until now I've been placing objects by educated guess and test, just editing the con files. I downloaded BC42 the other day (wow it's been a long time!) so I could load it up and add a load of vehicles, get the coordinates and edit my patches/con files. Now from what...
