BF 2'42 Redux Maps for the Desert Combat 0.7 Mod!

Apache Thunder bastelt weiter fleißig. Vor ein paar Tagen hat e die "Strike at Karkrand" vorgestellt. Die Map wird CTF und TDM spielbar sein. Die anderen zuvor vorgestellten Maps vorher waren sogar COOP fähig. Strike at Karkrand und Operation Harvest sind noch in Arbeit. Downloadbare Maps: Midnight Sun Operation Road Rage Dalian Plant v2 Wenn alles gut läuft können wir bald zwei neue Maps bejubeln. Neu ist, dass Ihr die BF 2'42 Redux Maps einfach mit Eurem Desert Combat 0.7 spielen könnt. Ist doch praktisch die Map mit DC 0.7 spielen zu können, aber keine andere Mod dafür laden zu müssen? Einfach in den DC 0.7 Level Ordner kopieren und Ihr habt ein völlig neues DC. Das Video gibt es hier: Apache Thunder bastelt weiter fleißig.

Galactic Conquest 8.0 C Public Beta Release

GC dev: Our multiplayer server manager is on the other side of the world and I think he is asleep right now. So our server is still hosting the PREVIOUS build of GC 8.0B. It will not work with this PUBLIC release of 8.0C So we need people to host a server or dedicated server until he updates the multiplayer server, later tonight (crosses fingers) or tomorrow. For now there is an NoC server hosting that you can join by IP number it is 24.118.24.246 You have to use the add server button to enter this IP because it is running the patched exe that is a replacement for the Gamespy metaserver multiplayer match making service is shutting down later this month. You can get the patch if you want to be able to see it like normal in the multiplayer list. But I myself am just going to wait until gamespy officially shuts down between now and the end of June 2014 until I get the patch. We will have our own server that runs off the gamespy client just like BF1942 has since 2002 up at some point today.

BF 2' 42 Redux: Operation Harvest Movie and more!

"Apache Thunder": Ok. Just got done "enabling" team switching in Instant battle mode. (or Skirmish mode as it's referred to in the code) This is a major change to the menu since I had to completely re-organize how the "tabs" are coded in the meme file in order to make it work. So I will probably release a beta for testing once I'm done and satisfied with Operation Harvest. After that I will release the first beta and then continue to work on porting more maps/improving other things in the mod. Thus far I've done the following: 1. Ported meshes for Eryx and Predator anti tank handwepaons. The original BF242 ones didn't match BF2 very well, so I fixed that. I also fixed the reload animation of the USATP Predator while I was at it. 2. Changed HUD near minimap. See previous posts on details 3. Added some alpha to the top/back black bars in the loading screen. Now the load screen looks nearly identical to the BF2 one. The only thing not matching is a few font colors and the lack of a text status on the bottom indicating which files it's loading while it loads. But that is a engine limitation in BF1942 as you can't really display that information. There's no menu hook for it. 3. Overhaul of the Kit selection menu while in Instant Battle mode (or Skirmish mode). You can now switch teams while in Instant Battle! You no longer need to start a local COOP server for this luxury! BF2 lets you switch teams in this mode, so I saw no reason not to do this. I likely need to redesign the Instant Battle main menu to reflect this fact............ just finished Operation Harvest. So thus far the mod has 3 maps done. I plan on doing Dalian Plant next. Once that's done I'll do the first public release of the mod. But for now I may do a closed beta of the mod as it is now to make sure there's no major issues. As you can see in that map, I got the road meshes process figured out so all future maps will have something like this.
