Nice. Turns out a number of the big guns have had input on it lol.

Beyond the "AI difficulty %" (game tab) and "COOP Bot AI % CPU" (server tab, below description) settings in BFSM/BVSM? Got both those maxed. I have noticed having lots of extra vehicle spawns (talking tripling an airfield on a map like Khe Sanh) and/or lots of indoor on Vietnam maps in particular will lock them all up defending a point even when they otherwise have properly functional ai (Quang Tri '72 and '68 UNMODDED has this issue lol)

If anyone does have a set of the ctf-coop/tdm-coop maps for bf1942 I'd love to have them. Found on some maps like Stalingrad and Gothic Line I couldn't get the ai working without making some changes that I assume are what is causing them to now not function SSM.

Any chance of support for BF:V?

Thanks for this mate this looks amazing. I always wondered if the game had a half-finished attempt at an in-game map downloader like Wolf:ET has.

Hey folks,

I've expanded the map list of my servers substantially lately.

I'm now running all of Retail 1942 and expansions, plus desert combat final and the Team Simple New Maps. All the Co-op ones anyway.

Up to 10 maps across SW and retail converted to TDM/CTF/CQ-COOP, but two (Hellendoorn and Stalingrad) don't seem to be working as SSM, while the rest do.  Am distributing my modded files on the gametracker page for 1942 though so check there if you're running into crashes on a map you want to jump on.

For Vietnam I'm running Retail Vietnam, WW2 Mod and WW2 Mod Extended, plus the Co-op maps from Hello Clan's Mission Possible Map Pack

For all custom content just check the gametracker page for either server and it's all explained and linked accordingly.

Anyways, some video:

Nice, would be keen to give it a try

Infantry and light vehicles with fast but not instant vehicle respawns are the way to go imo. Plus "cool/funny" bonus kits like low damage high knockback explosives/zooks, knockback or splash on light weapons that normally don't, etc.

BM would know of a certain Hellendoorn mod that was basically perfect for making a shit map great

Also, trying to change the exact spawn point locations without changing the controlpoints themselves could make the maps feel a little different. No doubt you guys have prolly already played with this to try reduce instagib spawns when under attack.

Okay.................

I got the game reinstalled after accidentally swapping the wrong game.rfa (trying to modify scoring).

Now the server manager won't work. I have to launch BF1942_w32ded before BFSM otherwise BF1942_w32ded crashes. EVEN STILL DOING SO, the server no longer appears on openspy, gametracker, etc.

YES, I HAVE FRESH INSTALLED, TWICE, RUNNING CCLEANER AFTER A RESTART BETWEEN INSTALLS.

Any advice here BM?

Hey Mamba, good to hear from you again!

Been well, finished school, in and out of university, half a dozen different jobs. About to change careers and thought I'd get back into an old passion hahaha.

Ah, that's a shame. I saw you and Henk had been active on here and assumed the best!

I've actually had a lot of luck getting my hosting sorted for both BFV and BF1942 since the first post. They're both stable and showing up ingame via openspy. But now I'm stuck trying to get TDM on Hellendoorn modded with bots lol. Got into the game at one point with the bots, only for it to crash on the first spawn (guessing a problem with strategy.con, which I hadn't touched), and now I've broken something else and it's crashing on the bloody loadscreen again lol. Thanks for that, I'll message him about it sometime. Ideally I'd have a 24/7 Hellendoorn mostly-infantry (extra goblins and scwimmwagens, no tanks or natter) server, with COOP, TDMCOOP, and CTFCOOP in the long run (bots just to make it more active in bad hours for Aussies).

Am I best off posting my half-finished work here for help, or do you guys have a discord for this sort of thing?

**EDIT**

I've just got TDM and CTF with bots working.... Now time to get used to adding, swapping and repositioning vehicles for COOP, TDM and CTF.... Tomorrow job I think!!
