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) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CREDITS: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Designer: - Lighteye Custom object: - da_Burp (mesh: signboard) Hosting: - Flipbis - DJ-spot - Snow_King _ SNEAK-NL - Geckoo - And all the other domains ;-) Testers: - YoG - MasterOverdrive - py.mosjuh - Flipbis - Switch - Maestro.mosjuh - PoweRoy - StoneColdKillah - SaUrOn - SNEAK-NL - TuuT - Snow_King - Berend(NL) - D0z3R(::)NL(::) - Inquestos - Herr_m - Macdaddy Rest: - Army of GoT battlefield 1942 clan (www.armyofgot.nl) - LMD - Glorificationer Forums/websites: - http://www.battlefield1942.co.uk/forums/index.php - http://forums.bf42.com/index.php - Perfectionist Custom level Design: http://www.planetbattlefield.com/perfectionist/ - http://www.twilighthalls.de/cgi-bin/wiki.pl - http://www.desertcombat.com The dude that came up with the name: - py.mosjuh ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOOLS I USED: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photoshop (7.0): - http://www.adobe.com/main.html Paint Shop Pro (7.04): - http://www.jasc.com/ Notepad 3dsmax (as an 3d editor and shadows mostly): - http://www.discreet.com/products/3dsmax/ Rexman's 3dsmax toolset: - http://rex3d.com/bf/ MakeRFA RFAextractor Unofficial SDK from 10th Nov 2002 with tga splitter and dds plugin for Photoshop BF1942 mapeditor (only for heightmap.raw): - http://www.flashbots.co.uk/madbull/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DUTCH LANGUAGE: GoT (Army of GoT) zoekt nog steeds (goede) clanleden ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reden dat ik (wij) dit in het Nederlands doen is omdat wij alleen Nederlands talige mensen zoeken, maakt dus niet uit waar je vandaan komt zolang je maar de Nederlandse taal begrijpt en een beetje mensen kan killen in de refractor 2 engine ;-) Onze website > www.armyofgot.nl Ons forum > www.armyofgot.nl/forum/ (m)IRC > irc://irc.tweakers.net/armyofgot kom bij voorkeur eerst langs op IRC waar genoeg mensen zullen zijn om je op weg te helpen :-)
