I believe, you just supported me on Patreon, thank you for that.

I actually tested things on Simple, to see if my mod is working properly or not... then i found out, they turned off Content check. I actually want to make my mod work on servers with Content check enabled (with a slight texture tweak, it's possible).

Or maybe i could make a different version for servers like Simple with a bit more tweaks. For example i didn't find a way to make the new sky textures work on servers with content check.

Anyway, RTR and Secret Weapons is fixed now, so even with Content check, the next version should work. If they disable it, i can add sky textures to the expansion packs too. But, i like Content check, it's a layer of anti-cheat. Better than nothing.

Oh right, to me it crashes after a second map load. So i need to reopen the game after one play, but at least it works. If it doesn't work for you at all, just delete d3d8.dll.

There are other directx8 wrappers that might work, but i don't have experience with them. Like this
https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases/

Not sure if there are other solutions.

Some of us are fighting to have more players on this game/server, meanwhile some admins are so easily banning players. At this point we have so low player numbers, we can truly feel the missing players.

Pixel shooting. If i play and i notice an artillery shooting at us from a distance, i search and destroy it.
Too many TK. Shit happenz sometimes and if he is trolling, he had a shit day maybe.
Camping. Seriously, these maps can be so over-restricted. You need to let a plane to take off fully and fly for extra 30 seconds or pilots cry about "campers".

Stop being a pussy. This game is about WW2 after all. Just because you don't ban so harshly, this server won't turn into a chaotic mess. We had servers with 128 players and/or camping allowed before and guess what, players enjoyed it.

Don't worry, the fog tweak doesn't work on multiplayer. (Along with many other tweaks.) So no advantages there. The screenshots are from "Custom game" mode, which has more stuff in it.

Meh. For you, because you can fly even if your team is lost. But it's interesting to try out new things sometimes. There was a time when i brought the carrier to the island from the start. It has lots of pros as it's easy to protect it with defgun and flaks. And people use boats to invade the island... the team is more centered around the island which is more important. And even the enemy isn't expecting you there. But nowadays i would be kicked if i would try to do that

It's more like a "fun map" nowadays along with El Alamein. I like realism more too. Players are sadly bored of El Alamein after years (i can see why). But Britain is a great map even with default settings, idk why is it changed.

I hope it's not too long, is there a "normal length videos" topic? I'm lazy to make one...

So it's already tomorrow? 11PM CET as i can see... little bit late, but fair enough for saturday.
Try to advertise it on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/

Maybe on these subreddits too:
https://www.reddit.com/r/starwarsgames/
https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/

People mostly care about new games, but worth a try.

Nope. This client has modified helmet and flag textures inside texture.rfa as i can see. (Look more realistic).

But the file size is almost the same, so maybe this is the trick to do it. I can't make a compatible HD pack then, because the textures i'm using is like 2048x2048 or even 4096x4096. So yeah, it's a totally different file size.

Guys, is there a way to change at least some textures for online servers? Tuia changed some, like helmets, flags, HUD... I started to make a high resolution texture pack, but i can't use any of them (checked most). I have to test every texture one by one? Or i should just give up?

Not sure if i will ever finish it for single player mode, but there are some screenshots if you are interested:

The darkening will be possible with ReShade, because it has a shader exactly for that (vignette). But at the moment the game is unstable with ReShade...

I would like to know more about texture modding too, because i started to add high resolution textures to the game, but i can't change anything without getting the data differ error. Seriously, others even changed the ground textures (Combat in Flames mod), but i can't.

Yes i tried it a while ago, even made a video about it... the reflection is really nice, too bad it's not static and reflects the HUD too... the bloom isn't that good quality so it makes the screen a bit blurry, but better than nothing.
Anyway, i found out why is the game crashing with the directx wrapper and reported it to the author. Hope he can fix it.

Noice, i'm actually not an experienced modder, so idk... :S

Thanks tuia. Tbh, i didn't notice much difference (i only tested 2 maps), but the HUD is much clearer. I wouldn't even go for approved content-check. I'm sure you don't want to split the community, but i would like to see a mod for it. Did you guys hear about Combat in Flames mod? It has horrible new textures, but the particle effects are so much better.

It would be nice to borrow those effects from the author or make a new one (anyone please?)

And we have other good mods too like cloud system:

Sadly, i don't have any modding experience, i only made custom maps, but Battlecraft isn't working well for me in W10. I wanted to make models too, but it's so hard with zero experience...
It would be nice to add more buildings, vegetation without touching the original gameplay much. Someone could make more detailed vegetation, vehicle models, better textures too. That's why i said, i'm surprised there are no graphic mods for this game...
List we can do:
- Better view/rendering distance
- More detailed models, more vegetation and other models on maps
- Better skybox/clouds
- Better particle effects
- Better animations
- Higher resolution HUD
- Shaders, bloom effect, tonemapping, sunrays, etc (Currently not stable, but one day...)
