1. MOD PRESENTATION

This modification is an infantry only mod which was made in order to revive the dying infantry scene in Battlefield 1942. It is a ''pure infantry'' mod, meaning all grenades and other explosive devices (except in Objective Mode) have been removed.
The maps have been created to allow for maximum action: small in size with scenarions varying from urban to thick jungle terrain, players frag eachother in mayhem!

The mod has the particular feature of being unpure, meaning it can be hosted on an Internet server with Content-Check turned on. With PunkBuster enabled, this allows for maximum protection against hackers.

A special game mode, Objective Mode (based on the map Battle of Britain and the Secret Weapons expansion pack), has been coded for the competitive clans and teams. It requires acute teamwork and communication to win. Regular players will enjoy playing the TDM and CTF game modes, which have been designed for intense Internet matches.

2. FEATURES (v0.1)

- Added HandWeapons (Bren LMG, Breda, Sten, Fallschrimjager Gewehr 42, Commando Knife)
- 5 different assault weapons for all classes
- Removed grenades
- Smaller crosshairs for all SMGs
- Added Objective Mode GPM from XPack2
- Disabled minimap for TDM and Objective GPM
- Disabled in game map
- Disabled proning to eliminate bugging
- Strategic infantry environments allowing for maximum action
- Custom mod icon
- Contentcrc32.con file generated for unpure servers
- Created one map, ''Labyrinth_Pro'', with TDM and Objective support

3. ANTICHEAT OPTIMIZATION

As previously mentionned, the mod has been built to prevent hackers and glitchers to slip in. As such, server hosts will have the ability to turn on Content Check while running the mod. This can be done by selecting the ''UnPure'' option in the BFSM or by selecting the ''Content Check'' option with the DedicatedServer.exe. As of right now, the Content Check feature for unpure servers works only for the map Labyrinth_Pro in the TDM and Objective GPM exclusively.

4. MOD FILES

When the final build of the mod will be released, complete modding files for those that would like to create their own custom map packs and modifications of the mod will be released. This includes LST (.lst) and CFG (.cfg) files for Battlecraft 1942 as well as a bfdev folder complete with the 4 default Arhives folders (bf1942, Objects, standardMesh, Texture) for the modders that prefer using Editor42.

will there be a server to try it out or something?

Did just a quick test. Installer is not properly set, it always installs to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1942\Mods\ folder. You can use this code, with some changes to point to Mods folder, in your InnoSetup installer:

[Setup]
DefaultDirName={code:GetBF1942Dir}

[Code]
function GetBF1942Dir(def: string): string;
var
sTemp : string;
begin
    //Set a default value so that the install doesn't fail.  
    sTemp := ExpandConstant('{pf}') + '\EA Games\Battlefield 1942';

  if RegQueryStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942', 'GAMEDIR', sTemp) then
      Result := sTemp
	else
    if RegQueryStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\Origin\Battlefield 1942', 'GAMEDIR', sTemp) then
      Result := sTemp
    else 
	    Result := sTemp;
end;

Ah yes forgot to mention, the installer works only for those of you that have Origin.

Thanks tuia, I will correct that.

Black Mamba · 2014-04-03 14:47:49

Has anyone tried out the mod yet? Any thoughts?

Denny · 2014-04-03 19:35:05

Millerke · 2014-04-03 20:43:36

Sry mates, i haven't found any hosting atm, but i will keep looking!

tuia · 2014-04-04 00:43:09

Labyrinth Pro conquest mode cant be played. Allies can't spawn and as soon as game starts they run out of tickets. In Labyrinth Pro objective mode there was no spawn point, no team could spawn. Only could test map in TDM mode.

Spawn points disappear after 10 or so seconds in Objective Mode... Map doesn't work with Conquest or CTF yet (it's not designed for those game modes), only TDM/Objective works.

2014-04-18 *UPDATE*

Here is a picture of a new map I'm working on: Train_Yard.
Map will be CTF, TDM and ''Elimination'' (a Conquest variant) ready. Features over 1300 hand placed objects!

8 maps in total are in the plans. Stay tuned for updates!

Roger!

Still searching for a Host, but i think the best i can do is an event with this mod maybe.

Black Mamba · 2014-04-18 19:11:01

Allright mate, when I get the third map done I will hit you up for this!

Millerke · 2014-04-18 19:38:43

Oki!

Btw do you use Ed42?

Black Mamba · 2014-04-18 19:40:44

Yes for texturing, BC42 for object placement.

Black Mamba · 2014-05-29 04:17:23

Download the updated patch here: Battleinf 42 v0.2a

A couple fixes in this release:

1 new map, Train_Yard (only TDM ready so far)
Gravity in Train_Yard is slightly modified so players can jump over coupled wagons correctly
Edited accuracy on all guns to be 2x more accurate
Ported the Gewehr_z43 automatic sniper rifle from XPack2 to map Train_Yard
Fixed a CommandoKnife throw bug where the knife would disappear from your hand
