Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

Hey, does anyone have a good reference or documentation or tutorial for coding animations? I'm unable to find any, even the MDT only has very very few entries..

And there are quite some values there I'd be interested in figuring out for enhancing animations...

I'm fine with the avatar on the right stuff by now. Required some getting used to, but makes more sense actually.

ObjectTemplate.minNrToTakeControl

Is code that makes it necessary for multiple players to be in flag radius to actually cap the flag. (e.g. if set to 5, 5 players must be in flag range to cap it).

How do you want to make the projectile being attached to the vehicle after it's been fired? As simple attaching doesn't work, that would be the question which would need solving...but I doubt there's anything like that in BF42.

That would be the only way I can think of. But how would you attach a projectile to a PCO? I thought you can't spawn/addtemplate projectils, only "fire" them.

Easy to verify: Just check the exppack and the landmine, they get HD shadows too when dropped. High res heightmaps don't solve this issue, I'm afraid. At leas...

But it's also more ancient than my great grandma .

I think hardly anybody heard of the idea of the hns mod...

Don't you need a MIDI version to edit in Reason4? If so, where did you get a MIDI of the BF theme tune? Have been looking for sth. like that.

Oh yeah, nice remix, but you knew my opinion anyway .

I hereby declare myself lord of animations. Thanks to the great tutorial videos of Archimonday and huge loads of sweat, anger (especially that) and sheer willpower, I finally managed to master the high art of animating soldiers in Battlefield 42. I have set up a skeleton for a custom weapon and anim...
