[OT] Battlefield 1942

or simply change the game's .init file as found here.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp One correction for that page, though - the line:


&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp game.customGameFlushArchive 0


&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp should be


&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp game.customGameFlushArchive 1


&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I hope that helped!

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp If you are suffering from some lag in the game, add this line in the VideoDefault.con file in the game:


&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp renderer.usetrilinearfiltering 0


&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp This line switches off Trilinear Filtering and apparently reduces lag quite a bit (at least it did for me).

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Again, I hope that helped!

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Oops, disregard changing that line - it should remain as:


&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp game.customGameFlushArchive 0


&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Sorry about that!

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Not to worry - after you have BF1942 itself, the Road to Rome addon, the 1.3 patch, and the Merciless stuff all installed, simply go to the three init files located on your hard drive at:

• C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942
  
• C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Patch Data\XPack1
  
• C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\XPack1

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp And make sure that the init files look like this (if they don't, then simply cut & paste the following into the init files and save the files):


game.CustomGameName XPack1
game.addModPath Mods/MC1942_TexSet/
game.addModPath Mods/BF1942/MC1942_BloodFX/
game.addModPath Mods/MC1942_Crosshair/
game.addModPath Mods/MC1942/
game.addModPath Mods/XPack1/
game.addModPath Mods/BF1942/
game.customGameFlushArchive 0
game.setCustomGameVersion 1.3
game.setCustomGameUrl "http://www.battlefield1942.com"
game.setCustomGameInfo "XPACK1_INFO"

Game.setMenuMusicFilename "music/slaughter4.bik"
Game.setLoadMusicFilename "music/vehicle4.bik"
Game.setWinMusicFilename "music/vehicle3.bik"
Game.setLoseMusicFilename "music/menu.bik"
Game.setCampaignLoseMusicFilename "music/theme2.bik"
Game.setDebriefingMusicFilename "music/briefing.bik"


&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp If you need any more help, then check out the Merciless Creations website here.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Incidentally, there are no Merciless loader screens yet for the Road to Rome missions - apparently, those will come in the upcoming Merciless Historic Addon mod version 4.0

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I hope that helped!

But damn, this addon is nice!

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I completely agree!

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Speaking of Merciless:

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp The Merciless Omaha Beach texture pack was just released today, which you can download from here.
