Help save and preserve BF1942 mods!

Hey everyone,

As the years go by, more and more download links to classic Battlefield 1942 mods are going dead. To keep the legacy of this game alive and accessible, I am putting together a comprehensive archive over at bf1942.online—but I need your help to track down the forgotten gems and less known mods.

If you have an old hard drive gathering dust or a stash of files saved from the golden days, I am looking for anything you can dig up:

• Total Conversions: The big overhauls and passion projects that might have fallen off the radar.

• Custom Maps & Map Packs: Forgotten clan maps, community creations, or event-specific maps.

• Mini-Mods & Tweaks: Small gameplay changes, custom models, weapon packs, or vehicle additions.

• Server Files & Tools: Any custom server-side mods, administration tools, or old patches.

How you can help:
If you have the actual .zip or .rar files, active links to obscure hosting sites, or even just dead links that can be plugged into the Wayback Machine, please share them!

You can reply directly to this thread, send me a DM, or drop a link to a cloud drive. Even if you think a mod is too obscure or "broken," I'd like to preserve it.  Credit will be given on the site to anyone that helps contribute to this effort.

Let's make sure these pieces of BF1942 history aren't lost to time.

Thanks in advance!
~OC

Hi owlcat!

Feel free to use the information here.

And you could contact M1CH4ELS 42 and Posi on Simple's discord for this project, i think.

Sincerely,
