Now me and some people were thinking about what we could do serverside. And one of them confused us. The Idea came up to telling the map where to read the files for some pak40s. Obviously from Liberation Of Caen. Now the initial idea was adding the files to the map. But we all knew this wouldnt work. So we spent some time thinking and came up with this theory.

In the Init.con Could be add the like something like

run Bf1942/levels/Liberation_Of_Caen/Objects/Objects

And possibly this would tell the map where to read these files from. And we could then spawn pak40s serverside in a map. None of us knew if this would work. And we really had no one who was willing to test it for us. So im asking you guys if this is indeed a possible thing to do serverside. If it is this is great.

This was thought of before, and I believe you need to do a lot of ../../../ to go up tons of directories before you can "enter" the map's files.

archives would be the root directory in this case

../ takes u to levels
../../ would take u to bf1942
../../.. takes u to root (archives)

path should be like this

run ../../../Bf1942/levels/Liberation_Of_Caen/Objects/Objects
same as
run @root/bf1942/levels/Liberation_Of_Caen/Objects/Objects

or only one jump up ...

run ../Liberation_Of_Caen/Objects/Objects

but for some reason only some of this path gamble works

I couldnt get the 5 Ton from Al Nas to roll around in other maps, but soundfiles, like in a carstereo folder sitting in an El_Alamein_001.rfa could be run from e.g. Gazala.
I found this by mistake, i forgot to change the path within gazala_001.rfa, but the wav was loaded.

If anyone figures this out we could go all the way back to ControlMap.create
