Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

Coding animations is undoubtedly the hardest part of modding. Some days I wonder if DICE intentionally made it hard to understand. I'll download the map and check it out. Edit: I did a quick test. Some thoughts: 1) LOL pirates! At first I thought it was a glitch. 2) Your animations are in the right ...

Edit: Scratch my previously posted comment. I found the problem. I needed to tell Vista to run it as an administrator. I guess if it's not run that way, Vista won't let it check out the relelvant .con file? :? In any case, windowed mode works now. I only have to deal with Vista asking me to confirm ...

Did you take a look at the max examples that come with the BFMDT? There are some skn-models in there (3p Russian Soldier, I use that buddy now to tune my anima...

Hey everybody! I'm currently a coder/animator for Siege_MW. I appear to be the last member of the team to find this place!
