Missing textures on other lods is usually the result of incorrect materials assigned to the lod meshes. This might happen if you run a multi-res modifier to create said lods. LIke collision meshes, LOD meshes use material IDs. In 3DS Max each ID corresponds to a material in the Material dialog. This...

What you may need to do is generate the lightmaps manually from the command line using the debugger. The debugger might generate an error message prior to the crash that might provide you with more information. Here's an example on how I did it with an old version of Dalian Plant (this was prior to ...

I believe the end result would be the same. Besides if you do that, you lose control of engine throttle and steering.

Hold up. You don't need to mess with the RS files or create custom mesh. If all you want is to change the rotation on a skybox, you can do this with just a simple code edit. It's found in the SkyAndSun.con file near the bottom of the file: sky.setRotAngle 180 Your map likely already has this command...

Unfortunately this won't work. PCO's held onto spawners via holdObject do not impact the movement physics of the host vehicle. All you will get is lots of movement glitches. For example I have destructible signs set up onto holdObject spawners so they don't obstruct vehicles (as this can still occur...

PCOs indeed will show up when placed as static objects. (that is, placed on the map directly instead of via a spawner), but they will not respawn when the round restarts, so they will vanish on the next round. ;) Although why it doesn't appear on the first round could be a different issue. If you ar...

Bots are hard coded to cease engine input (or reduce it in the case of aircraft) before they fire on something. It's to do with hard coded bot behaviors and such. Unfortunately there's no way to code around this. :( It's less noticable with aircraft since planes can glide forward and bots usually do...

Yeah I still have a copy of the mod. It will take quite some time to upload though since I'm stuck with ***ty DSL now a days. So no promises. It may be awhile before I can find the time needed to upload it.

I won't be fixings bugs relating to glitching into objects. There's just too many potentional areas this could occur with BF1942's buggy collision system. As for the third spot in the commander vehicle, that one is for spawning the squad kits. When you enter that position, use left mouse button to s...

Supply drops/vehicle drops work best if you aim the cross hair level with the horizon. If you aim towards the ground the drop will occur too far infront of you and too far in back if you aim too much towards the sky. ;) As for the APCs, I didn't have many problems driving them. Perhaps drive at slow...
