Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

OK, Iced, before I mess with this I wanna make sure I understand. And I don't have time now anyway. =) So you want me to:

1. Copy my Battlefield 1942 installation directory (the whole thing).

2. Make a folder on my desktop, call it BF1942 2 or something, paste the copied files in there.

3. Make a shortcut to the levels folder (the levels in the BF1942 2 file) on my desktop. Call it "Levels 2"

4. Make another shortcut to the original BF1942 levels folder on my desktop. Call it "Levels 1"

5. When I mod a map, I make an extracted version with the files I want in it through Winrfa. So I'll put my extracted file (like El_Alamein_005.rfa) in the "Levels 2" folder. Mod it. Then I just switch it into the Levels 1 folder, correct? So with the highest El Al number, my BF will recognize that as the one it loads. And that should be the test? But what is different about that? Before I could test it fine and when I put it on the real server it crashed.

I'll try all this stuff Iced, with the code you gave me. Let me know if you have anymore suggestions, I'll let you know if it works. Thanks dude.

P.S. Don't be a quitter at life... geez lol it's just a mod.

Well, I did everything you said including the code. My map crashed, unfortunately. =\ I will try it without the speed mod, that seems to be the one that jacks things up. I'll post with more results. Thanks for the info the the LAN server Iced.

P.S. I was just listening to Iced Earth, their "Framing Armaggedon" album. They're my second favorite band. Good stuff.

Yo Iced~

lol. Hey... uh..... So I did all that stuff and still got a crash. So I was curious... I took all the codes outta my map and saved, ran again, whole process. Crashed. My map crashed without even any codes in them. So this means...?

Here's my process: Open Winrfa. File; open rfa, select the map I want. From that map I take the files I want, which are Init.con, StaticObjects.con, and all the TDM settings. So then I Extract Selected to my desktop. Then I pack Directory, selecting the file I just extracted. I pack it into the name El_Alamein_005.rfa. Then I edit the files. What's wrong with that?

I will try again. I have a theory. Let me know what you think.

Also- if you find time we could go on TeamSpeak and you could walk me through this. Here's my server's IP: 63.209.37.30:8787 See ya.

To save someone a reply, I believe this is sorted out now.
