Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

If you just want the game working again and play then I would recommend you head over to this place: They will have more active play community. In here is a bit more modding of the original game and development side, maps, game mechanics etc. There are some good topics in there to get help and get t...

I looked at that a while back, and they are all kinda valid in one way or another. But they are very focused on software development with controlled releases, updates, are managed very strictly. For a complete mod it make sense, but for maps and levels its not so useful. Use a "build number&quo...
