DC Final Coop Minimod

 

Additionally from DC 0.7/Final, be sure to install the DC Final Coop Minimod. This adds coop to many of the DC maps including Lost Village, Basrah Nights.

 

You will need this mini-mod to play these coop maps on the server.

Does a mod seem to alien to you?   

 

Galactic Conquest has a manual which details most of the assets.

  It has a manual   !    http://galacticconquest.rf.gd   

 

  A new website with a splash page , download links and updated info for assets is underway!  

 

  The game manual is linked at the moment with minor revisions.   It will help new players with Core functions of Galactic Conquest.   Like what the Shield does for Engineers and how to use it! 

 

  This website covers Galactic Conquest one of the featured mods on the new server!

Just checking the links, Galactic Conquest now runs in 8.4 so the link probably needs to be updated @Posi @Wasabi.

Well, I must say, the OP is very handy in getting BF42 going again.

Thank for taking the time to maintain it.

Found my old discs, dug out the keys and installed for grins.

Now to go get DC Final up and functioning.

There are really only two active DC servers left. EA117 in the US and MAXNET in EU. 

 

They usually have population around peak times (like 10PM in the respective time zones)

I would contact Trench on their website http://ea117dcfanfavorites.com/ 

 

They've had a lot of issues with DDOS and hacking attempts in the past and use a whitelist to allow players into the server.

Nope. It's all abandonware now so can download for free. Links on Facebook, discord or here in forums.

Hello,

I tested the steps below on a new copy of Window 10 that did not have a Battlefield 1942 installation on it already.
I did not receive an Invalid CD Key message when connecting to any of the servers with the BF1942 Master Server Patch applied to the game.

Please verify that you have followed the steps below to instal BF1942 and the Expansions.

If you still receive the Invalid CD Key error, I would be willing to do a screenshare with you over Discord if you would like to.

Below is the Discord invite link:
https://discord.com/invite/Wb9FrFh

My name on the server is lookoutriddick and I can be found online most of the day.
Feel free to message me and I will try to help you further.


1) Battlefield 1942 Main Game:
BF1942 ZIP: https://team-simple....efield_1942.zip
How to Install: Unzip the ZIP file, then run bf1942-setup.exe to install.
 

2) BF1942 Road to Rome / Secret Weapons Expansion Packs

Road to Rome ZIP: http://team-simple.o...oad_to_Rome.zip

Secret Weapons ZIP: http://team-simple.o...ons_of_WWII.zip

How to Install: Unzip each .ZIP file and run setup.exe from the unzipped folders, one for RTR and another for SW.


3) BF1942 Master Server Patch
https://www.moddb.co...bf1942org-patch

How to Install: Unzip the .ZIP file and then locate the BF1942.exe inside the "Henk's Client v2.1" folder.  The BF1942.exe file should then be copy and pasted to the root of the Battlefield 1942 install directory.

Since Battle of Britain has been added to the CTF rotation, I thought I would provide RFA files that get rid of the siren that drives people insane.
Below is a description of each file in the Google Drive folder.

https://drive.google...Tld?usp=sharing

 

File: battle_of_britain_HD_Remaster_v1.0_No_Siren.zip
Description: This copy of Battle of Britain removes the siren sound for those who use the latest version of the HD Remaster.
The HD Remaster can be downloaded from the link below.
https://www.moddb.co...aster/downloads

File: battle_of_britain_Regular_No_Siren.zip
Description: This copy of Battle of Britain removes the siren sound for those who use the original unmodified RFA files.

File: battle_of_britain_Regular_Original_File.zip
Description: This copy of Battle of Britain is the original unmodified RFA file for those want the siren sound back or do not want to trip the content check on other servers.

 

Instructions:
Extract the patched battle_of_britain.rfa file to the Battlefield 1942 installation directory.

The default path is normally:
C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\mods\bf1942\archives\bf1942\levels

 

 

Manually Applying the Siren Change:
If you are familiar with unpacking and packing RFA files, you can apply the change yourself by setting the volume to 0 in the Siren.ssc file located in the path below of the unpacked RFA file.
\bf1942\Levels\Battle_of_Britain\Sounds

To repack the battle_of_britain RFA file, I recommend using BGA (Battlefield Game Archive Tool) found at the link below.

5. Right-click in the File Explorer window to where you installed Battlefield 1942, then click Paste.  If File Explorer does not prompt you to do anything else, you are all set to play the expansions.
 

6. If File Explorer displays a Replace or Skip Files message, choose “Replace the files in the destination.”
