Doubt that's possible, unless Combat Arms has the same engine as Bf1942.

lol u dont need the same engine i mean i will get the models from combat arms (done) and import em to bf1942 im working on the textures right now and probably also the maps i tought of 1 or 2. lol im starting to talk like Apache

I speak from experience here. It does not need to be the same game engine in order to be ported. Look at my mario kart mod as an example. Clearly Mario kart Double dash had a different game engine.

As long as I have a way of porting the meshes into 3DSMax, then I can put it in BF42.

As for the maps however.....most likely must be done from scratch as Combat Arms most likely does not store the object positions in a format that would work in BF42.

well is true the weps were easy to import but the maps will not be

i thouhgt of making the maps myself

Then what was it you couldn't do if it was a different Engine?

There are some things that can't be reproduced 100%. Map cooridents, perhaps certain physics. Things like that. But Combat Arms in this instance is simply a FPS with no vehicles. So it's all handweapons.

ya like 50 or more weps all modable and like 5 game types on each map and they are like 10 or more maps
