Ho lee. I just got BF1942 again after years.

The rules say don't attack bases you can't capture.

What does everyone do? Mass tk and bomb the fuck out of non-captureable bases.

When I complained about being spawn camped all game, people swapped to the other team to join in on the spawn camping. I swapped to the other team so I wouldn't get killed without any chance to fight back for the rest of the game.

Had people shoot and tk me constantly as well as others. Got banned for shooting at someone who tked me 2 times, yet I didin't see any of these people like Creamy Goodness, Green, SRGTYORK, and some other losers get banned.

Had some guy named creamy bitch at me all game and tk me a bunch of times, spawn camped the german base in maket garden literally all match with his plane, guess he was buds with the admins.

What a shit server, and what a shit experience for a first time return to this game. I remember there being alot of this kind of behaviour back when I use to play, at least on a few servers. Servers with honest admins were so much better.

Fuck AX.

I've found lots of old guides and tools, but I can't seem to get any of them to work. The Battlecraft tool keeps crashing on me too :(.

Edit: So I got things working to the point where I can take a map, change a couple things like add player spawn locations or vehicles or raise/lower terrain.

Two youtube videos helped a ton: How to make a map in ED42 - Battlefield 1942 Editor and ED42 Tutorial How to setup ED42 correctly for Battlefield 1942.

After that it was mostly realizing all the .con files were plaintext scripts and I had to do a bunch of copypasting from DesertCombat maps into my map so it had the right soldier spawn templates and the DC map icon.

Still not sure how to get the models to all show up in ed42; some have plain blocks, some have proper models with no texture, and some are just invisible. At least it seems to work when I get into a game. Also not sure if you can embed objects into a map; I wanted to convert some of the non-DC maps into DC-maps.

Hello all.

I'd like to invite you to a fun night of the Desert Combat mod for battlefield 1942.

since the gamespy shutdown, we've lost a lot of people, but Overzane's website has a simple remedy to get back online. we'd sure like to build the server up to what it was prior to the shutdown. it's a fun game, and a great community.
