Hi.
When a vehicle is moved a certain distance away from it's spawn, it will self destruct after some time of being unoccupied.
This does not really matter for tanks and planes, but cars and the APCs are pretty vulnerable to that.

A scout with his jeep or a busy support crew with their truck suffer the rapid loss of their rides every now and then.
It happened more than once to me, that the APC blew up behind my back,
'cause i was busy with repairing a comrade's tank and had to clear a few landmines after that.

It would be really nice to see the expiring times of those support vehicles extended by a few minutes.
Fighting vehicles may be Ok with short times, the benefit is the self destruction of an abandoned tank in the middle of nowhere,
so it can spawn anew.

Cheers

Nowadays you need a license for everything and anything.
In Battlefield 1942 it's no different.

What are you talking about?
Your character is a super hero, yet he breaks his ankle when running or jumping down the stairs in a building. Normal.
Your character slips off the ladders when you try to get up to the MG platforms on the destroyers? Not normal, but there's a trick.
Go under the MG and press your enter key.

I tried different fonts, but all looked weird after downscaling to 64 x 64,
so i made it by hand.

I just learned that size does not really matter, i tried your 128 x 128 .ico.
Is it enough to rename a .bmp to .ico or do i have to use some software ?

That's a pretty good job, Telrin.

Here are two more versions I made.
Again, it's not the original image, but it's still a T34-85.

Lots of BF1942 servers to choose from and you had to book a clan server on a Sunday night... At least, the server is warm.

Yeah, unlucky.
This server is really only used very, very rarely. It has been empty for weeks now.

Anyway, we managed to play round #3.

Arp273                 38
WILD BILL            29
Graizer                  9
Xberg                   20
Blindschuetz       13

Unfortunately Maj.MerliN and BabyIsDead dropped out early.
What a pitty, MerliN could be a candidate for the quarter finals.

Quarter finals so far: Arp273 has entered the game and kicked out Darwahl,
Xberg has slightly improved his score.

63   BF2024
20   Xberg

46   WILD BILL
27   MadMax

29   Blindschuetz
38   Arp273

21   Cpt.Karwsz
48   Michaels42

Cpt.Karwsz and Xberg should try to consolidate their place, score 20 and 21 is not really safe,
and there's plenty of players who have not proven themselves yet.

BF2024               63              Darwahl            13               hrako

Sorry guys, i n00bed it.
There's a clan match running right now.
We will start when the -=TL=- dudes have finished.

#137 Re: BF1942 Events » The St. Vith Knife Tournament » 2024-02-18 10:14:35

Ladies & gentlemen,

we finished the first rounds of the qualifying.
The battle was intense. In other words, it was quite a bit of work.

Knife-Tournament-rounds-1-2.png

Fight.jpg

So, where do we go from here?
As you can see on the score board above, the highest score of each player is highlighted.
You may play as many qualifying rounds as you like, your highest score counts.
The 8 players with the highest scores may proceed to the quarterfinals.
It is obvious that it is very difficult to kick BF2024 out of his quarterfinal place.
In contrast, Darwahl has to improve his score in round 3 and/or 4,
else he might lose his quarterfinal place to a new, more successful player.

system2.png

The quarterfinals, semi-finals and the final will be held in the Knife Pit, in classic duel, 1 vs 1.

Rounds 3 and 4 are being played tonight.
Due to a clan war we start 1 hour later, 22:00 CET.

#138 Re: BF1942 Events » The St. Vith Knife Tournament » 2024-02-16 14:35:55

Yes, tuia.
Anyone interested can jump on in the last second.
32 player slots are available, 21 participants are listed.
The server is located in Germany and is used as backup for Liga wars.
Also the most popular reg-patch is installed there.

This poster depicts MadMax testing the regs on Xberg.

Beware of MadMax, he's a beast! Poor Xberg.

Here is the updated player list:

Blindschlitz                Møller                          WILD BILL
MONTAG                      MadMax
Arp273

Date:
Saturday, Feb 17, 21:00 CET
Sunday, Feb 18 21:00 CET

Open Qualifying, one round is 20 minutes.
Play as many rounds as you like, your best score will be recorded.
Top players will be promoted and earn access to the Knife Pit.

  • use knife only, wounding with guns or explosives -> disqualified.

  • refresh your HP and catch a breath in the APC's.

  • don't pick medic class, the codex forbids bandaging in the open.

  • don't mess with the trucks, driver's seat is only for staff with APC licence.

Watch your slicing and stabbing! Teamkilling counts -2, suicide -2.
Perishing in the barbwire or being pushed by Maj.MerliN off the belfry has no effect on your score.
Please refrain complaining 'bout hit regs, handling with your kitchen knives is different.
If it turns out to be really unplayable for combatants from West of the Atlantic, we shall look for an alternative server.
But as mentioned before, this one is suitable for clan matches.

Is entry, use of the church interior a valid strategy?

Lurking in the dark and ambush the unaware like a spider?
Yes, that's valid indeed.
In fact, the entire map is usable. Players can go fishing if they like.
Well, of course it's recommended not to stroll too far away from the APC's.

This would be great if you could collaborate with uuuz. Seems like the perfect scenario to utilize his server.

Yeah, a good suggestion, we keep that in mind.
The host server, provided by -=TL=-FearofthedarkHU, has the reg-patch installed, by the way.

If it is doable somehow, it should be everyman for himself, no teams whatsoever and you just try to kill everything that moves.

A free-for-all mode is available (uuuz has done some nice mods), but -
Battlefield 1942 is a team game, Axis vs Allied, such is it's credo and we want to keep it like that.

If you cannot make it, don't worry, we intend do play more than one round, everyone shall have a chance to proof his/her skills.
On Sunday, February 18, 21:00 CET, you will have again the opportunity to join the tournament,
or you might want to play a 2nd round (in which case the better result will count).

Hey guys,
have you sharpened your knives already? We shall pull the Knife Tournament off then.
Let's do it next weekend. Saturday and/or Sunday, 17th/18th of February at 21:00 CET.
If anyone feels dissatisfied, tell us.

The first stage shall be an open qualifying.
Arena is the town square of St. Vith.
Axis vs Allied.

You have 20 minutes to amass as many kills as you can.
Watch your stabbing, teamkill means -score.

  • use knife only, wounding with guns or explosives -> disqualified.

  • refresh your HP and catch a breath in the APC's.

  • don't pick medic class, the codex forbids bandaging in the open.

  • don't mess with the trucks, driver's seat only for staff with APC licence.

After 20 minutes of the expected chaos, there is a scoreboard.
The top 4 scorers from each team (or 5, depending on the total number of participants)
qualify for the finals...

The St. Vith Knife Tournament combattants:

Zagros                        Mette.Soldier            hrako

Hello community.

It is quite obvious that the new hit registration patch is now installed on the SiMPLE server.
A small indication of this, Berlin and Stalingrad are back in the Euro-night-shift map rotation.
Well, for me, not much has changed. It seems like i have the same regs as usual,
some maps are better (Bocage), others are worse (Battleaxe, Aberdeen).
Same with certain players as opponents, there are a few guys i always can kill easily,
and it doesn't matter at all what ping they have, some are from Europe, others from North or South America.
Then there are certain other players that I still can't reliably wound or kill when hit, as usual...

Alright, the only difference I've noticed in the last 2 days:
I get killed behind cover way more often than before, sometimes with an insane delay.
Yes, there has always been some delay, but not to this extent.

Finally, i have to note that it feels pretty stupid to get shot, a full second after taking cover.
And no, I'm not exaggerating.
This is how i experience it.

Cheers

#145 Re: Report Abuse » RaketenHorst - abuse of admin power » 2024-01-15 19:28:23

Sorry Denny,
although my regs on MoonGamers have always been three times better than on SiMPLE, you won't find me there.
I just don't like their mods, their politics and management.
As for the "shit admins", i'm happy with most of the currently active administrators here.

#146 Re: Report Abuse » RaketenHorst - abuse of admin power » 2024-01-14 21:23:35

!bdis for switching to the weaker team?
This looks pretty weird to me.
Facts:
KILLER88 switched teams at around -07:30, tickets are 1078 : 894
Raketen let him finish the round, and the outcome was 1065 : 598

To put it diplomatically: Where's the f*cken justification for a ban?

#147 Re: Technical Help » HITBOX FIX? » 2024-01-13 20:09:24

I enabled this option once, just out of curiosity.
It felt quite ridiculous, hearing Japanese soldiers yelling in German language all over the map.
Kills all the immersion in my opinion.
Besides, you should be able to get used to these radio messages and shoutings pretty quickly anyway.

Right now i wonder what this option does to e.g the Spanish version for Alfred or the French for Arp.

Anyway, of course brocco lee's narrator has to speak in English,
and of course he had to use the most handsome character in the game... tongue
Pretty good job, by the way.

#149 Re: BF1942 Discussion » What is your favorite battlefield in BF1942? - Community questionnaire » 2024-01-09 18:59:08

Sorry Mille,

i cannot answer this question with just one click.
It's the diversity i like, all the locations have their appeal.
I like the rugged desert landscape with its mountains and gorges in Gazala.
The gloomy atmosphere around the destroyed Kharkov,
the urban combat within the ruins of Stalingrad in fog and smoke...
Alright, if i really have to decide, the European theater has the most, interesting battlefields,
like Caen, Arnhem, the Ardennes.

Cheers

No arguement on that point, yet it's up to the admins to decide over such a player.
Of course, it is debatable whether it would not have been more sensible if Raketen or Ferd had pointed out to Robert in chat that his behavior was quite unsportsmanlike.
But well, look at the time, Robert's ban has been lifted within one hour.

Cheers
