IDA is not written in python. Its a disassembler and debugger for programs without the source code available, like bf1942. Its definitive not specifically made for hacking forums.

I think you are installing it wrong way, here is how i installed it, if i rember correct:

First download v1-6-19 https://www.fileplanet.com/archive/p-50 … er-v1-6-19 and install, and run it to test if it works

Apply the next patch and test if a binarie works
https://www.fileplanet.com/archive/p-71 … -19-v1-61b

Then install the patch from team simple and test if it runs

The next patch improves ping compensation: https://www.moddb.com/games/battlefield … atch-linux

Next are patches for bugs in capture the flag modus. You need edit the binaries with a hex editor, i think i just search and replaced in hex

I dont know the hit-registration-patch fixes the master server. The gamespy and the sk master are not online any more, if you want the sever to show up in the internet browser, you have to patch it to henk's master server. I think putting this into the host file will work:
143.176.207.225 master.gamespy.com
143.176.207.225 master.bf1942.sk

You can now install BFSM, if you want that.
If you host the server to the internet, its probaly a good idea to firewall in a way that only you and admins can access the bfsm port and remote admin port. Its very old software, and probably not secure.

Hi nz2004,

Check if on the host game.serverContentCheck is set to 0 in:
C:\games\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\ServerSettings.con

If content check is on, the game checks if certain game files are the same, if not you get that message. Its a anti cheat protection, but no big online server has set on nowadays.
On mine bf1942 game instalation content check reset every time to 0, when i start a local server. So i have no idea where that issue comes from.

You can run the game and the dedicated server on the same machine at the same time, unless when you have a very ancient machine.  A advantage that the dedicated server has that you can put maps with different game modes and dlc/mods in the map list.
But it cost a bit more effort to set up, you have to update the server 2 version afaik, and dont forget to turn contentcheck off and set to to local network.

You can then also install BFSM, it makes banning/kicking people more easy, and it has some more settings, but i dont think thats needed for a lan party.

If you dont need dgvoodoo2, try removing it, if you need it try a difference output api.

The issue was solved on discord. The server didt use the new master server

Me en haski where testing an server setting(admin.collisionlatency)  after a player called bro posted in the team simple discord that this setting improves regs. It indeed regs better from the side when it set it lower than the default 0.1. We did not test if this settings has other effects.  This setting does not save after restart, maybe aslo not after map change. I cant save it in serversettings, or adminsettings i dont i why, for now i just run stalin wih timer off and a lot of tickets

https://sourceforge.net/projects/battlefield42sw/
this one gives me a  checksumm error when tis tarts bf1942.exe, i think because i use the High-Definition Remaster mod.
What you aslo could is if you install 1.6, make a copy of the battlefield bf1942, past it somwhere, and then install 1.61, the pasted bf1942 1.6 should work i think.

Changes between 1.6 and 1.61 arent big think, i gues a security fix. I gues it cuold be that 1.61 (regs) are performing less that 1.6 but i dont think its very likely becasue of its seems a small update.

I think the the regs on a windows server are better than on linux server, the linux server uses 15% cpu usage on one core, without playes or bots, bf1942_w32ded server with wine on linux usess like a few percent.

I did some testing with some to get the the windows server on linux working with wine worknig. i tested it first without gui, the server exe worked, but the server manger not, it needs a gui, with gui, the server manger started. i dont rember why the server manager didt work corectly with the bf1942_w32ded, it could not start bf1942_w32ded or the manger could not conect with remote control. I wanted it to work on a cheap vps to get some mods running wich didt work on linux version, and test if had better regs. it wasn't going to work with a server manager so i stopped with it.

This can explane why you had beter regs back in the day, the demos didt have a linux server version, maybe when you played on 1.6 there where more windows servers, or you played most of you time on some server that where windows servers.

These bugs are probaly caused by having channels in sound settings on 32, set it to 64. This will fix almost all soundbugs, whats being caused by not having enouch soundchannels. In mine previous bf1942 instaltions i did edit sound.con in the profile settings, to have 128 channels. if i rember correcty, it fxed all the soundbugs. I dont think that will fixs the sound bugs that are related to the higher downstream tickrates which simple servers have.

With windwos 8 and higher you can just mount a ISO-file with double clicking on it.

So, why i'm banned?
