Tried the newly uipdated release of the MoonGamers BF1942 installer and it is such a clean process. The previous version was good too, but this one really takes the cake.

But since doing a complete fresh reinstall using this newest version I've noticed that I now see player #s next to their names: on their overhead nameplates and in chat/kill log. This occurs on all servers I connect to now, so doesn't seem to be strictly server-side. Other players I've asked do not seem to experience this. Is this possibly a new feature of the newest installer and if so is there a way to disable those numbers? I haven't found a console command that might do this without removing the soldier's overhead nameplate completely, and even that doesn't affect the chat/kill log appearance.

 

Thank you for your time!

Yep that's a feature of the new installer.

You can disable any of the features in the new installer by going to your install directory and opening up bf42plus.ini

 

Turn both of these settings to off to disable the player numbers.

 

; Show player IDs in chat messages, name changes and joins/disconnects

showIDInChat = off

 

; Show player IDs in nametags

showIDInNametags = off

Really appreciate that info OWLCAT!

Until now I never realized just how often the server is near-constantly connecting and disconnecting bots during a game (I'll def be disabling that). BUT I wouldn't mind being able to keep the fleshy players' connect/disconnect notifications in chat if it were an option in a future iteration of bf42plus.

 

Lastly, and relating to this, is there a public place where BF42+/++ changes can be found or some sort of updated change log?

 

Either way, thanks again!

BF42++ is open source, https://github.com/uuuzbf/bf42plus and has a good README.md

 

The latest installer packages my fork of BF42++, which adds in the recorder, https://github.com/s...kandia/bf42plus
