Re: Custom contentCrc32.con file gives an error

I lay my case to rest... seems impossible to get mods to work with content check on... even if set to "2" instead of "1".

I went as far as making it into a map-based mod, but not even then did it work...

Re: Custom contentCrc32.con file gives an error

*BUMP*

I'm trying to get my Battlefield 1918 map Testing Range 1918 to work with content check, no dice so far... I've generated a custom contentCrc32.con, it simply gives me Data Differs From Server all the time.

Re: How to bring 3rd person (F10) cam closer?

Sorry being late to the party, but In my case, for my tank I went into the objects.con when I wanted to bring the chase camera further away from the tank to give it a better view around it, I changed this as seen below. The "-10" is for the camera to be brought backwards in F10 view.

Re: Lightmapping a non-vanilla map in Battlecraft 1942?

Well well WELL... I got it working for Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon, too! I just made damn sure the "init.con" for BF1942 looked like this inside the "\Battlefield 1942\Mods\BF1942" folder BEFORE opening Battlecraft 1942:

Re: Lightmapping a non-vanilla map in Battlecraft 1942?

Got it working, finally! I made sure in Blender to add another UV map beside the already existing "textureMap", naming the secondary one "lightMap". Then, exporting the visible mesh, collision mesh and using the samplesmaker by "CoinCoin" to generate a samples for my ob...

Re: Lightmapping a non-vanilla map in Battlecraft 1942?

I've been sitting with this since yesterday... made a dummy cube in Blender and tried getting it to cast shadows on the ground the vanilla mod, no dice... My goal is to get a custom object casting shadows and getting lightmapped in Battlecraft 1942. But since a few hours back, this seems impossible....

Re: Lightmapping a non-vanilla map in Battlecraft 1942?

Two years later, I'm onto this again. Shadow generation works fine for Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon. In fact, it all works, except for object lightmappnig... I have been sitting with this all day, no result. I have been checking the init.con for "BF1942", it adds FHSW, as expected. Althoug...

Re: Unlimited objects in Battlecraft 1942

Don't know what's going on, but when I port my custom map made from BC42 to ED42 in order to add more tree meshes which more than 8000 objects, then going back to BC42 to generate terrain shadows most of the objects disappear. :( Hi Al. Nowadays when I want to change or make maps with more objects ...

Re: Is there a way to export Bf1942 models to blender 3d modeling software??

Hello.

Download this: https://github.com/Ahrkylien/BF1942-Blender-add-on

Then, open up Blender and go into the preferences. Select Add-ons and install the zip (you don't need to extract it).

Happy modding!
