my eyes! i'm blind now!
fortunately that won't affect my gameplay
#602 Re: Technical Help » The 11 secs spawn delay » 2012-12-17 21:30:21
do you see any correlation between that extra spawn and you player number?
it usually happens to me when i connect to server before the map begins (probably getting high number), almost never when i "continue" from previous map
#603 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Player tag font size » 2012-12-17 14:41:58
I tried your font with 800x600 resolution and like the increased nametags. This is how it looks:
i went to test it in 800x600 before you added screenshots because i thought that would be way too huge
it definitely is
are you playing it on a phone?
or better question, you actually play on simple? ;-)
Do you know how to increase the font size of the chat and game messages?
haven't tried that because i found it to be just right for me
if it's using one of those trebuchet fonts, you can try to replace it with bigger one, there are multiple sizes included
#604 Re: Technical Help » High ping on the server ? » 2012-12-16 20:18:45
that's a windows command, it shows route to the server
if you get unusually high pings, you can find where is the problem
although you can't fix that yourself anyway ;-)

1. Too large.
this is 2x size
doing anything non-integer would be probably too much work in order to not look crappy, this was just a quick hack
anyway, it's a simple format, font in tga and text file containing offsets, anyone feel free to improve it ;-)
2. Affects on the console font.
yes, it uses same font, can't do much about it
#607 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Player tag font size » 2012-12-16 16:21:49
and what's wrong with that? ;-)
#608 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Player tag font size » 2012-12-16 16:07:26
It doesn't work well in 1920x1080.

i've never tried widescreen patch, no idea what it changes

You have a 4:3 monitor? No widescreen?
yup
widescreen sucks ;-)

i got fed up trying to read player tags at 1600x1200, feeling like 100 years old with wrong glasses so i've enlarged that damn small font
if anyone's interested:
http://ax.bf1942.sk/files/2xfont.zip
http://ax.bf1942.sk/files/2xfont_rus.zip (russian version)
replace Font.rfa in "C:Program Files (x86)EA GAMESBattlefield 1942Modsf1942Archives" with the one in zip
just briefly tested, seems to work
ATTENTION: Using this modification is not allowed in BF1942 Liga matches according to their rules, so don't use it, if you plan to play in BF1942 Liga.

#615 Re: Technical Help » Black screen -freeze » 2012-12-12 10:24:44
Sunday my game worked fine but today I started the game up, I clicked on a server to join and my screen immediately turns black.
I closed it in task management and from that moment on everytime I click on my shortcut (or exe.file) it doesn't start up at all anymore, immediately a black screen and I can only close it through task management.
no sound too?

#617 Re: Technical Help » Massive disconnections at start of each round !? » 2012-12-08 16:28:19
I'm considering buying a "server-grade" network card to use in my 1942 home pc server. The purpose is to reduce lag and maybe reduce pregame / ingame disconnections. Does it make sense or is it waste of money?
i'd say waste of money
#618 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Shooting ahead » 2012-12-06 01:31:23
s[sk] how do you think, is possible that the integrity of number of net frames while synchronization time (ping) may influence on ingame hits calculation, or this is completely nonsense?
sorry but i really have no idea what you're asking
try russian, nameless will translate it for me ;-)
#619 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Shooting ahead » 2012-12-06 01:28:14
UPD. Fuck, you don't let me go to sleep. After googling, I understood that I was incorrect cause I forgot that I using VPN L2TP connection.
yes, that explains a lot
and now tuia should ban you for hiding yourself behind vpn!
j/k ;-)
#620 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Shooting ahead » 2012-12-05 23:05:35
Thanks for everyone, the problem is solved by a practical experiment. I have discovered one thing.
1. When I ping the server from Windows console - no packet loss as well.
2. When I ping the server from Windows console with options -l 1500, where 1500 bytes is a standard of MTU size for Ethernet that Windows can set by default, I got packet loss about 50% but with the keys -l 1500 and -f that disallows the packet fragmentation, I got the message "Fragmentation required".I have pinged some servers to get randomly optimal value without any errors, changed the MTU size and disabled TCP auto-tuning. Everything is okay now.
i'm happy that you've solved you problem, i just want to point out that your methodology was not completely correct
1. it's udp, so tcp auto tuning has no impact on this
2. icmp header has 8 bytes, ip header has 20 bytes so the max you get with mtu 1500 and no fragmentation is 1500-28=1472 bytes
so if you actually had problems with ping sizes < 1472 with mtu 1500, then you'd set mtu to "ok size" + 28
just in case anyone else tries this too
EDIT: actually i'm not happy that you've fixed it because now you'll be killing me even more...
#621 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Mappack servers - event day? » 2012-12-05 01:00:13
You don't need Road to Rome or Secret Weapons expansion packs to play in the New Maps server. You need to download the .rfa files of the maps from this package, for example: http://www.gamefront.com/files/22048227 … -07-28.zip
ah, didn't read lecter's post properly, thought he was talking about rtr/sw server
ok, i'll get these, thanks
#622 Re: Technical Help » Server crashing on Origin » 2012-12-05 00:56:38
What code did you change? I've been looking at it to find some pattern and my eyes and head hurt from too much staring.
i think it's futile to try to fix the root of the problem so i'm just checking for bad data and ignoring it
haven't seen any side effects of that yet but i can't get that crash in updateObjects() (actually in checkMessages()) to happen to test workaround for it (i've only added it on monday)
if you'd be willing to give it a test run on SiMPLE, i can share it with you
#623 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Mappack servers - event day? » 2012-12-05 00:45:22
i'm in if someone can tell me where i put my cds with rtr/sw ;-)
#624 Re: Technical Help » Server crashing on Origin » 2012-12-05 00:43:02
i'm currently testing a workaround for the 2 most common crashes but it's hard because i'm unable to get enough people on the test server lately to make it to crash more often
maybe on the weekend
#625 Re: Technical Help » Explosion lags » 2012-12-04 23:38:57
Sometimes when I see nearby explosions my game starts lagging.
Anyone has a clue what's causing this?This might be caused by the same problem: sometimes when I start my pc up I don't get to see my desktop, only a black screen, followed by a no video signal even though I still hear my pc running.
Sometimes this even happens after I started up fine by example: I clicked on renew windows experience index and screen turns balck and I have to reset.Is there someting wrong with mobo?
i'd try to update driver for gfx card (and maybe check whether its fan is working if it's not onboard one)

#627 Re: BF1942 Discussion » The use of bugs: a hot debate » 2012-12-02 18:34:57
Don't tell me EA doesn't care about this old game anymore, they just released a free patch via the Origin platform and could have addressed the problem in that new patch, but they didn't.
yea, they've rereleased it with at least 2 known exploitable bugs in dedicated server
that was also on purpose because they care
they just took the old source, didn't change a thing except version and origin integration
