INSTALL NOTES:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run abtf.exe for non-server files.
Run abtf_server for the server files.
Some troubleshooting if you can't install A bridge too far.
On start the installer will look for the keys:
1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\GAMEDIR (retail version)
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942 server\GAMEDIR (server version)
If an error appears that the key shown at number 1 above is not found: the installer
will exit. Solution: install Battlefield 1942 properly (will be the same with the server
version)!
You will also have to determine a directory path to install some files (this will be the
readme.txt and a picture of the ingamemap). Be aware of the fact this is NOT the
directory where the installer will install the .rfa files! The installer will
automatically check were Battlefield is located from your registerkeys (you don't see
this path).
If everything is went well, the installer should do the following:
Your own chosen installpath: readme.txt and objectsmap.gif
bf dir found by registerkey\Mods\bf1942\Archives\bf1942\levels - retail version(s)
bf serverdir found by registerkey\Mods\BF1942\Archives\Bf1942\Levels - server version(s)

TIPS AND TRICKS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Multiplayer Conquest only !
2. Recommended ticket setting (serveradmins! ;-) ) 100%
3. There are two ways to reduce tickets:
- a. Only capture the bridge flag.
- b. Take control of all the 4 headquarters (bridgeflag not necessary).
If one of this goals is reached then it takes about 16 min. (with ticket ratio 100%)
when the counter reaches zero ! It's also possible that both team tickets are reducing,
FE: axis team captured the bridgeflag and the allied team has control over the 4
headquarters :-)
4. It's NOT possible to spawn at the bridgeflag ! (to avoid granade spamming)

Reden dat ik (wij) dit in het Nederlands doen is omdat wij alleen Nederlands talige
