Server for Mac

Hi everybody,
I am olaying BF1942 on my good old Powerbook G4 (OSX 10.5.8).
It is possible to have a LAN-Party with Windows-computer in local games.
Nevertheless I can't acces to the multiplayer servers.
I saw you added server - support for Linux and Windows but Mac is still missing
(BF1942 was developed for PowerPc with Motorolla proccesors and not IntelPc).
If you need the game filles for Mac I could send a private copy in a mail to the server-developer.
I am running BF on version 1.61 (latest patch by EA).

Thanks a lot for your answers and maybe a server support for Mac

Re: Server for Mac

Do you want to run your own bf server at OS X to play via the Internet? I haven't seen the native server, porting requires a lot of hard work.
Probably you cant connect multiplayer because the GameSpy master server has been down for several years already.
And if you have an empty server list in the game, put this at the end of the /etc/hosts file

109.71.69.254 master.gamespy.com

Not working.
Ichanged the hosts file as shown here: https://macnow.cc/hosts-datei-bearbeiten-352/
Its a german page and shows how to open the file.
1. Open Terminal
2. Enter this code: sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/hosts
3. add 109.71.69.254 master.gamespy.com
4.save

Re: Server for Mac

Have you tried to connect to servers manually by entering IP? Try to connect to test server 79.164.91.205 port 14567 and tell me if success.

Re: Server for Mac

Ah, I got it: Market Garden is the map, but there are no players at all.
Now the map changed to Battleaxe. But somehow there are still no players.

If you want to play with Bots, then choose COOP-Maps not Conquest.

Otherwise it needs other players.

Depends, which version you have installed.

Re: Server for Mac

Click "OK" instead of "Connect" in the dialog box and the server should be added automatically.
Also there is another solution if not.

P.S. Press the list update buttons.

Re: Server for Mac

I can give my list of servers, replace these two files approximately in

/Applications/Battlefield.app/Contents/MacOS/Mods/bf1942/Settings/Profiles/Custom/

You have this path may be a little different but exactly the same in the end.

ServerList.dat
ServerListFavorites.dat

Re: Server for Mac

Sorry but there is no such direction.
BF for Mac is made by ASPYR, which is an authorized EA distributor.
But I finally did it to make Mods running (there is a folder where I could input them)

Is there a "Battlefield 1942" directory in the Documents folder? Or similar?
