Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

Well, more like a jeep barrage. Unfortunately, vanilla BF1942 doesn't allow you to spawn projectiles.

This is a SSM for vanilla BF1942 that will drop a barrage of jeeps, or any other spawnable item, in the area where your binoculars are aimed.

It seems to work best when aiming down from an elevated position. Just aim at the ground in front of the target, and click.

This is a work in progress, and I'm still experimenting. But, I really like the effect that this mod produces, so I wanted to share it. Also, I hope some of you can improve on it.

excellent find, thank you very much for sharing.

Note: created template, changed magsize (SSM!)

Is this done map or modbased ?

If mapbased, which map ?

There are limited times you can change magsize server-side, for example you can change the Thompson's magsize to 60 server-side and it works. All the bullets to damage and everything. You can also change the numofmags sometimes for things like the k98sniper/no4sniper, I know you can add 1 more clip. Other than that, no idea, but such a thing may hold true for an odd object like binocs.

Changing ammotype is possible, I've made up new ammotypes too and added them to ammoboxes and it works.

bout time to call in a BRDM missile strike in nam!
