Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

how can i mod in a Helicopter to bf1942? enny info about that?

SSM, not possible, never will be. CSM, it's pretty simple. Just find all the files, for example of the DC AH-64A Apache. Get the objects, network, weapons.con, etc..Plus all the standardmesh, sounds, etc.

oh tnx

I'm working on SSM Helicopters. I took most of the code from a mod called parallel worlds, which has a helicopter. Stripped out the wings and engine info... This will actually work but you have to disable the stuka engine and modify the wings,flaps. Here is my problem. I tried to removetemplate the engine, flaps, and wings off of the stuka and the game will not load. I am guessing because the wings/flaps call geometry files that are drawn on screen. So If someone finishes this I would be appreciative.


I originally had everything on the lynx and it works great.. except the controls are locked to a 'ground/land' unit. You can not change vehiclecategory to VCair SSM.



Here is what I have:

Tell me your experience with this code. You can create wings SSM, you can create bundles.. you can not invent engines. hence I plugged in the katushka and torpedo engines for the helicopter.


I have this map on our QLS Gazala El Al Server but it is not in rotation. Just toying with it in Berlin. I would love it in a big map but this would disable turbo jeeps... not something I want to give up.

If you just are playing by yourself, go to Mods/BF1942, open up the Init.con, and add DesertCombats mod path to the init.con, now you can use any vehicle you like from desert combat without moving any files.

just remember to remove the mod path before playing a Vanilla server.

My xfire is: traustic

give me a ring and I can show you what I have on berlin...

shallow torpedo engine is the engine used for torpedos from a sub or pt boat. I have used this engine for reverse nitro on cars.. and katushka engine for forward turbo.

Take those two engines and mount them as the engines of the helicopter.

I will toy with the settings more.. I am VERY close to a working helicopter SSM. Only problem is it looks like a stuka - floating in mid air.

i dont think you can remove things that have networkable info SSM, better just disable the engine and let it stay.
