Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

Alright, so I was wondering what the developers of this game used to create the Battlefield 1942 engine (Refractor 2 if I'm not mistaken). Editing the engine would have a lot of advantages over normal modding, IMO I think you could add way more features to the game than conventionnal modding. Any ideas?

To my knowledge, EA never released source code which makes editing the .exe impossible, yes?

Yes, unfortunately EA never did so, They gave us a functioning version of Refractor 2 Command Lines but never any source code, despite BF1942's ability to apply custom .dll's to a mod. Editing it would require nothing short of a retired hacker.

And would be illegal.

So many little things are illegal, we are not making profit.
Me and a friend were modding for GTA4 and had a lot of fun stuff (and nice improvements), but even just modding the game is illegal, so they patched away all modification. No more well tuned fast car, with better performance.

Well, that's life...

The will to profit is irrelevant to the judgement of legality...of course (most) people would only have the best of interests, enriching the game environment etc. . But the source is property of EA now, they did not release it to the public and forbid code changes via "reverse engineering" etc. . Thus, illegal and triable.

Who's to say they would find out?
