Battlefield 1942 Re-Textured looking for skinners.

Every so often it seems there is a small update to Battlefield 1942 that can be applied to the game which in turn gives it a more modern feel.

Imagine playing Battlefield 1942 with up to date high quality textures, from the buildings to the soldiers and everything in between.

Please give me a PM here if you would like to help to texture some things.

P.S. Our wish is not to make a mod, rather to have our new skins and textures be the default of the game. This means you will be able to play on any BF1942 server with this pack installed. We look to also release a stand alone version of our pack.

Sounds cool, but FHSW is already doing a texture overhaul of the game. What kind of high quality textures are we talking about? Do you have any examples (photos)?

If you make this mod the way that you describe it, it will further divide the player base, which will be divided between people that have the HQ texture patch and those that do not. If I were you I'd make it a separate mod, and not a replacement of the core RFA files in the Archives folder.

Most people here don't want to redownload a whole new patch/game version, so making a mod is really the best option you have. I know because I had the same idea. The only way you can make this work is if every community leader decides to release an unofficial game update that is mandatory to have in order to play in the servers. You could then have the HQ texture version be a part of this update.

But good luck with your project.

FHSW is exactly that -- FHSW.

Secondly, it is not a mod. It will be a collection of re-textured skins. Think of Merciless. Again, it would not separate the player base in anyway.. if you installed it you can still play against those who have the original skins.

There is no requirements on a server hosting aspect. You simply run a normal 1942 server and everyone can play, the players with the new skins and those with original.

The only way it would not be playable online is if a server has pure mode enabled, which there is absolutely no reason for a server to have it enabled today. In fact if you want 1.6, 1.61 and origin players to all be able to join your server you must disable pure mode otherwise 1.6 players can not join.

There is one actually. Zombie Mod v1.55. Google it it's not bad, the bots track you down and kill you.
