I recently had a guy PM me for how to do it mapside. Here's how I did it (and it works). This is a copy of 2 PMs.
First, copy any .con file into a folder on your HD. Rename it to whatever you want (I used objectshooter), and copy this code in:
ObjectTemplate.create Projectile fueldrumProjectile
ObjectTemplate.createNotInGrid 1
ObjectTemplate.timeToLive CRD_NONE/0.1/0/0
ObjectTemplate.setHasCollisionPhysics 1
ObjectTemplate.setHasPointPhysics 0
ObjectTemplate.hasCollisionEffect 1
ObjectTemplate.gravityModifier 1.0
ObjectTemplate.invisibleAtEndEffect 1
ObjectTemplate.drag 1.0
ObjectTemplate.mass 200
ObjectTemplate.hasOnTimeEffect 0
ObjectTemplate.invisibleAtEndEffect 1
ObjectTemplate.dieAfterColl 1
ObjectTemplate.stopAtEndEffect 0
ObjectTemplate.invisible 0
ObjectTemplate.damageType 1
ObjectTemplate.material 50
ObjectTemplate.material2 50
ObjectTemplate.radius 0
ObjectTemplate.ForceOnExplosion 0
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate FueldrumSpawner
rem ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/1.5/1.5
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0.5/0.5
ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner FueldrumSpawner
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 Fueldrum
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 Fueldrum
ObjectTemplate.minSpawnDelay 999
ObjectTemplate.maxSpawnDelay 999
ObjectTemplate.TimeToLive 30
ObjectTemplate.Distance 15
ObjectTemplate.spawnOffset 0/0/0
ObjectTemplate.holdObject 1
ObjectTemplate.team 1
Add the file to your map, I used:
mapname/bf1942/levels/mapname/objects/spawnshooter
then copy a con file and call it "objects". Enter:
run spawnshooter/objectshooter
add that .con file to the map in
mapname/bf1942/levels/mapname/objects
now go to your init.con file in your map, and scroll down to the line
run sounds/environment
make a new line right beneath it, and type in
run objects/objects
finally, go to your objectspawntemplates.con in your map (in the folder of whatever gametype you want this in, Conquest, etc). Enter the lines
ObjectTemplate.active Colt
ObjectTemplate.velocity 50
ObjectTemplate.ProjectileTemplate fueldrumProjectile
the velocity needs to be adjusted according to what you're shooting. 50 and 10 both worked with a Yak as long as I didn't fire too far up or down. Good luck! Oh, you can create as many different shooters as you want, just do the same process with another name for the projectiles and such.
After that PM, he sent me another stating he thought the fueldrum method only worked in DC. I sent this reply:
the fueldrum only works serverside in DC. This method makes it a new item in the bf42 mod (in the maps you put it in anyway).
If you renamed it to "hakalokie", and changed every use of "fueldrum" to "hakalokie", it would still work.
I haven't figured this out yet, but you can actually add new vehicles and weapons to maps (ie bf42 guns/vehicles to DC or vice versa). I tried adding a car from the Interstate 82 mod to a vanilla 42 map, but there is a LOT of coding involved to add new stuff, and it wouldn't work. I did get to make an MG42 to look like a laser, but without the right sound and projectiles, I scrubbed it.
