Hi all, I've decided to ZIP all server side bot patches I've done for public release. The ZIP file contains bot support for the following vanilla maps:

- Battle of the Bulge
- Battleaxe
- Berlin
- Bocage
- El Alamein
- Gazala
- Iwo Jima
- Kharkov
- Kursk
- Market Garden
- Omaha Beach
- Stalingrad
- Tobruk
- Wake

Not included in the ZIP are the maps which have no COOP/SP support such as Liberation of Caen, Coral Sea, Aberdeen, Battle of Britain and Invasion of the Philippines.

I've also omitted Midway and Guadalcanal because the Conquest version of those maps have submarines (in COOP, there are none because the submarines have no AI info and the bots stall and crash the server when they use them in CQ).

I'm currently trying to fix this issue for a future release.

The patched RFA files allow for up to 64 bots to populate a Conquest server. I have maxed out their aggression level with a little command (no, not by setting the CPU used by each bot to 100%!) that make them come alive.

It's not as if the bots can strafe but what the hell, they give you a little bit of a challenge.

The ZIP works for Linux and Windows. To use the bot files, simply extract the ZIP to your desktop. After that, navigate to the place where you extracted the ZIP, and cut and paste all the RFA files to your levels folder, located @ C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Archives\bf1942\levels by default.

You can run your server as a Pure server as this is a server side modification and it will not result in clients having a ''Data differs from server'' error.

The patched RFA files look like this: name_of_map_005.rfa. If you already have a server side mod with a patch number that is greater than 005 (i.e. 009.rfa), you need to change the number extension of the bot RFA files to something greater (i.e., 010.rfa) in order to have the bots on your map.

Please report any bugs/issues with the patched RFAs here.

What is it?

As part of my weekly mod events I am throwing up this mini-cup next Saturday. It is a small knockout tournament.

4 teams of 4 players may register and specs are also welcomed. If you want to join just to film the cup, take screens, you may also join (but just make sure you don't spawn will the teams are playing each other).

For those of you that don't know my mod, you may read more information about it here: http://team-simple.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3183
It is a small infantry conversion mod (no nades or explosives).

How do we play?

The cup will take place in the Objective GPM. For those of you familiar with Secret Weapons, it is a game mode found in most of the maps. The object of the game is to infiltrate the Axis stronghold (by destroying gates or cement blocks) in order to get access to the object to destroy (the Objective). In both maps listed on the pictures, a safe must be destroyed. Once destroyed the Allied side automatically wins. The Axis of course must defend this safe from Allied expacks at all costs. If they can hold the Allied assaults long enough until the Allied tickets run out, the Axis team wins.

A typical Objective round lasts three minutes, that means the Allied side has three minutes to penetrate Axis defenses to then blow up the safe.

A few rules:

- A match will consist of a best of five rounds approach. The maximum length of a match should then be 15 minutes
- Server will be PunkBuster protected when the tournament begins
- Nades and explosives are disabled
- Round time limit is three minutes
- On the map Labyrinth_Pro, which will be the map used in the Final, players may only spawn once

Teams may sign up in this topic. Make sure you have the mod installed, PB and a GSC account as those will be required to sign up for the event. Every team will have a captain responsible of contacting his/her team members and training them for the match if required.

Sign up form:

1) Captain name + members:
2) GSC account:
3) Country:
4) Team name + tags:
5) Date suggestions if the date mentioned on the picture doesn't work out for you

IMPORTANT: This is more of a fun event than an actual tournament. If not enough teams register, you can just join the server and join whichever team you like.

For any additional inquiries/questions, PM me.
