Of course it can full screen. It don't understand how Win 7 restricts it to a minimized window.

Re: winrfa can't fullscreen in win7

Tried to change this:

C:\*\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\SettingsVideoDefault.con (open in notepad)

Then change from renderer.setFullScreen 0 to renderer.setFullScreen 1

Remember to make a copy of SettingsVideoDefault.con before edit

Stay calm, stay sexy!

Not really sure how this will help with winrfa this is for setting the game into full screen?

Maxwell - this is the way this software has always been there is no option to make it full screen.  I have always found the best way is to make your mod files in notepad which you can have at full screen and when your are ready to add them to your .con files simply do this in notepad also.  Winrfa is a great tool for bringing all of these mod files together but really only used for packing and unpacking the .rfa files the rest of the work can be done in notepad.

Re: winrfa can't fullscreen in win7

这大概跟os无关，即使在xp 下最大化的winrfa也是这种鸟样

试试Col. Cruachan's RFA Explorer吧

Re: winrfa can't fullscreen in win7

Col Cruachan's RFA Explorer is ok if you are making minor changes to an .rfa but it is prone to crashing while trying to do anything to big, it is also known to produce oversized files that could make your mods clunky and difficult to run.
WinRFA can handle the larger size files with ease you just have spend a bit of time getting used to it.

Best of luck

Use BGA better

Re: winrfa can't fullscreen in win7

BGA might brake compatibility with winrfa, there is a rfa pack program in the mdt that works really good

Re: winrfa can't fullscreen in win7

if you make that change to video file, make sure when you save it you mark the box for "read-only"......assuming you have already set permissions to change that file.
if you dont set it read-only, the game will reset that new saved file to the original video setting...

This is good advice, just unpack the map in a folder, do your changes/mods and when your done remove all files that is unchanged to save space, then make the patchfile. the new patched file will use the original as base file, even if its a different mod.

you can also link to other maps for resources, for example if you want to use the JU88 that is in the Battle of Britan map, you dont have to rip it out just make a reference pointing to it and the game will fetch it and you can use it in your map.

edit: i assume here that your modding existing maps, but even if you make new ones you can still use resources from the other maps thus reducing size

How is that done exactly? I'd like to see the code. I've never heard of custom objects (objects that are map side only) being used in other maps by simple code references, IMO you need the files to make them work in your map. As BoB uses a lot of map side objects such as the AA bunkers and the Ju88A, it is not possible to use those objects in a new map without ripping the textures, sounds and menu icons from BoB to place them in said new map. Raid on Agheila and Liberation of Caen also have custom objects which are ran map side.

BGA is the best program to use for packing/unpacking as well as direct CON file editing without packing/unpacking I would say (winRFA also allows CON file editing). You can also visualize your map's heightmap directly with the built-in RAW file viewer, which is really helpful, and it has a lot of unique built-in functions that no other RFA packing/unpacking program has.

While winRFA is the most used, it can break a few minor things in your map when you repack it, such as the chrome-like reflection on soldier's guns from the ambient lighting. I also believe winRFA packs RFA files which have unreasonable file sizes.

I would suggest you go with GUI RFA Packer, a program that comes with the BF MDT v2.75. IMO it doesn't break you map upon packing and the file sizes seem correct.

Absolutely spot on Monkey only not relevant to this

We are talking about modifying the .rfa files that make up the map files in the game

I do have the code for ripping the JU88 from BoB and putting it into Axis main on El Al somewhere on a hard disk and have seen it on another server so yes it is possible, although I cant find it right now this might help

Re: winrfa can't fullscreen in win7

uhh so much confusion

1. BGA is great, its just that if you finalize the files with it, it may break compabillity with win rfa.

2. the "the chrome-like reflection" is called environ mapping and its said that win rfa breaks this function, however i have made many maps using win rfa and the environ mapping works perfectly, so i cant really agree on this.

3. you can never ever use an object that only recides in one map (like the JU88) in any other original bf42 map without using a patchfile of some sort

4. if you are making a map it can read files from other maps

I dont remeber the exact code, but something like   

#include\bf1942\levels\Battle_of_Britain\Objects 
or 
load @ROOT\bf1942\levels\Battle_of_Britain\Objects 

using ROOT the game looks in the root of the game first and if_not_found it looks in "root" of the map

So a simple include command does the trick? Such as adding bots to non COOP game modes? I will have to test that to see if it's server-side.

its not ssm, the clients can not see the plane without knowing where to look for the mesh for example.

all clients have bots in there files from beginning so bots works
