hi all, i was just wondering, the mods for the old demo, had to be hand done.  adjusting this and adding that. took awhile to do this one map, wake.

my question is, im more familiar with the demo and servers.  do they or have they made patches that do this for you, ( ADDS MODS) since there are alot of maps to choose

i have the programs for the rfa / .con  files.  thought there maybe a patch of sorts out there?

my thanks for your time

I was able to connect to your sever using the i.p. and port.....It ran very smooth!
I was able to run a map vote successfully as well.
There are 60 bots. When I switched maps, by using the vote map- it seemed the game was already in progress-which seemed weird?
All the equipment was taken?

Any ways,
Good Luck with your endeavors

dear mr hillbilly.  i thank you for your reply and little test.. outstanding. thank you for taking the time to look,

its got me beat,lol.  everything set up correct.  i run a  TP LINK   Archer AX10   ROUTER,  ports forwarded and so on.

it does keep playing even when i go in and test it. just cannot seem to get it to show on the main list..  no doubt its probably a setting or something.  had the same thing, when the demo was going. running a server and getting the ports right.  i think we used a modem back then. i modded the wake island map real good. took alot of time, and had loads of fun. great people.

im pleased that you could get in.  just have to nut out why it wont show on main list..


such a great game, runs on anything. wish that gamespy kept the list going, they could have made lots of $$$$ renting out servers.

oh well.  im pleased its back up and running.  and once again, i thank you for taking the time to do a test. very kind of you smile smile

Everyone can join 1.612. Its the same as 1.61 except that is has some fan-fixes.
In the end its just a 'name' 1.61 can also have those fixes without the version showing different

To avoid confusion: There are mods and there are small modifications.
Mods are the entire packages which I send you (Desert Combat etc)
Small modifications are the changes to a map like; other bot-names and extra tanks. For that you should be a decent 'modder' to pull that off. Here is a website showing how to do that:
https://bfmods.com/tutorial3deb.php?pag … arted.html


oh ive done lots of modding the old 42 demo, changed many things, made destroyer belong to american side, replaced landing craft with zeros, and even a transporter, using a flag, e to enter, and para down into a different spot.. moved different vehicles around, added more..

thats when the hackers were at it. flooding / dos attacks / map hacking  the list went on.

dont know if i have the patience to sit down and do it again. lol..

but great being here, a wealth of info..

cheers

well, this is confusing.. re did server, and all settings ok,  didn't show in server list. i fired up the laptop, and used a different net ( diff ip)  have bf42 on that, and yet server shows in that.

i doubled checked, seems it shows maybe cause i added it in .

im applying the patches, and even spoke to the ISP, no ports blocked, and static ip in place.

firewall exceptions / rules in

starting to give me more grey hairs..

just in case i have downloaded a bad copy of server, is there any chance you can point me to where i can download a good copy of  server and  game

lots of copies of 42 out there, could be that maybe.

if i get a  good server and game, ill try that.

but, once again, my many thanks for your help.

cheers

hey again, sry to bother u. i see other servers have 1.61   when i use the patch, it turns my server into 1.612    is that ok, will it allow other to join ?? 

just a bit curious to see others using 1.61

not sure if others can join ??   server can be seen, and i can use a laptop, with a different net (ip)  and the server shows and i can join.

thought i was doing something wrong ??       Battlefield 1942 v1.612 Windows server patched  " Also all players using disc-based v1.61
or v1.6 can join the server. "



any help would be great.   
my server version shows 1.612

#43 Re: BF1942 Discussion » BF42 SERVER shows on gametracker, but not main list » 2023-03-08 03:08:49

just on the modding side, i used to have to sit down and crunch all those numbers  and so on, one by one. changing and adding mods.

i was wondering is it still the same way for modding, or is there mods you can add to the basic server as is ?  been some years since i sat down to do all that.  i had seen some  patch like  add ons, not sure now if you just go and into the files, myself, or copy and paste the newer mods.

just wanted some extra planes, tanks and such, added to the game.  tried changing one of the bots names, rfa file, and screwed the whole server up, lol.  it did not like it at all,   spice up the game a bit..

thanks.

Grrr    smile

hi all, just a question, i have a server going, bf42.  i can add the server to gametracker, and i can also add the server ip, to add game and join.

but i cannot get the server to show, in the  main game server list.   

stuck on this one, maybe the  server list patch ?  not sure.

any help would be gratefully appreciated.  i can join the server using a different laptop, and different net, but only if i add and join.

server does not show in main list.    server ip is,  192.168.0.197   and  main ip is  159.196.188.2

if im on the same network as teh server it shows, but using a different net (ip)  i cannot see it.

once again, any help would be great.

have a great day / night smile

all good mate, found out the static ip is not working, and the isp wont provide one on 4G wireless.

shame..   all ports are forward, and ip sorted. only thing stopping me, is the static ip.

thanks for your help sir.. smile
