For those of you who would like to try it, I am hosting a 64 man Conquest and Pure server on the Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons of WWII Demo.

Anyone that wishes to come play is more than welcome! I think many on these forums have never tried the Hellendoorn map, and it has many new exciting vehicles and combat situations.

You can download the demo here.

Server information below.

Name: SW Demo Central
IP: 96.23.85.144
Port: 14567

Server should be up throughout the evening and night. Waiting for you guys to hop in!

During the last two years or so at lot of innovations have been implemented into the Battlefield 1942 engine...

We've had an extended player limit, various server crash fixes and now a custom resolution fix that has just been released.

Now I don't know about you guys, but I think implementing an automatic server-to-client download facility would be fantastic.

Think about it! No more manual downloads of maps! Everything is done automatically for you when you join the server, amazing no?
This fix would be very handy for community-oriented map packs. Players would simply join the server and the necessary maps would be installed directly into their ''levels'' folder.

This could probably be fixed to allow some mini-mods, such as simple texture conversions or added meshes and stuff like that to be installed automatically. Eventually, full size mods could be supported (not exceeding 100 - 150 MB). Huge full conversion mods will be manually downloaded of course.

I think the potential for this little addition is present in the community. It is probably a huge undertaking, but I know it is far from impossible.

What do you guys think?

Hello guys,

As you know I am building a website about the Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons of WWII Demo.
The site will be complete with A to Z information about the game.

On top of that, it will have a live server query page similar to BFTracks.net's, where you can view which servers are online.

The website will have a server unique to it as well. I have kindly asked tuia if he would be interested in hosting a server for me, from SiMPLE, as I cannot do it myself due to an insufficient upstream bandwidth. The server will be hosted in the Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons of WWII Demo.

If there are some financial contributions to be made for the server, I would also bring some aid.

The reason why I asked tuia is because of the now huge notoriety of the SiMPLE servers, which have an enormous clientele which competes fiercely with MoonGamers. I am willing to give this a test run of about a month. When the server goes live, there will be a special introductory night where all can join and experiment the map.

I think many on those forums don't have the SW expansion pack and would be thrilled of trying the Hellendoorn map. Plus it's free, since it's a demo. We will see how many players the server can attract when it is live. If there is a lack of interest then there is no need to keep it live. But I think this should work pretty well, given that SiMPLE has a faithful player base.

At the moment I am writing this message, tuia should be fixing the Linux files for the SW Demo, which runs on v1.45 of the Battlefield 1942 engine.

I am willing to link your website on mine and advertise for it as well if the head admins of SiMPLE are willing to make a mutual alliance with me. This mutual alliance would include beneficial help from my community or yours to either communities for server hosting, special events such as tournaments, cups, and mod testing as well.

Tell me what you think!
