Battlefield 1942 Config

 

Well when I needed a working config for BF 1942 and searched this forum I found nothing that worked "off-the-self" so to speak. So now when I've made my own I thought I'd share it.

 

This config is for use with BBO Server Manager as that seams to be the only thing working 100% with TCA ATM (its better anyway so no loss really).

 

The config includes a e-mail template so don't forget to edit that.

Also, you will notice a section in the e-mail with login credentials for the BFSM client, for this to work you need to make a default user with your game install files.

 

If anyone wants help with setting this up I'd be happy to do so as this had my head turned in side out at times

 

Hope you enjoy it!

I tried this file and it didn't work out. I've probably got something in the wrong place and I'm starting to lose hair over it. If your still trollin these forums Dex I could use your assistance.

Did you put Black Bag Ops in the game's root directory?

[icekohl]

yes sir.

[JasonF]

You have to create a user account after the game server is created. You then need to log into the server manager and start the game server.

 

This config does not start the game server, only the server manager. Not sure if you know that.

[icekohl]

Had remote instead of server manager in folder.. Oops on my part, sick and overlooked the obvious.

 

Thx for the input vet.

[JasonF]

My pleasure.

I dont understand. I was told from the TCadmin support that BF1942/BFVientnam was not supported!?!

[JasonF]

The do not support BF1942 or BFVietnam because it requires a 3rd party program to make it work with TCAdmin. Since the don't support 3rd party programs it is not in their supported game list.

[ECF]

We do not support it for two reasons.

 

1. The reason Vet mentioned above.

2. If you attempt to create and run a server without the manager it will not work. There is something in the engine that cause the service to simply sit there and restart itself over and over.

 

However, we do have people that use the BBO Manager and run them under our software.

[JasonF]

Another thing I find annoying is I have to disable the TCAdmin query for those games because if a client turns on the server manager via TCAdmin, they have to hurry and login to the BBO server manager and start the game server or TCAdmin will stop the server for not responding.

[ECF]

Query really should matter as they can simply login to the manager to see who is online, and to kick/ban the asshats

[DougK94]

There is an auto start switch you can set for BBO

[JasonF]

I setup Game-Monitor.com to show them who is in their server.

[agentpr24]

Ah ok ... thanks guy's

[Scott]

Sorry to rehash a 4-5 month old post, but does anyone have the original installers for BFSM Beta 4i (or whichever the latest was) and the latest BFRM?

 

Thanks a million!

Edit: Looks like the last one was 2.0 Final, Why Kevin didn't let it out after he shut down to the main sites with a disclaimer of nonsupported software..

[ECF]

Kevin did an excellent job with these managers. I cannot fathom why EA/DICE did not go with him for the BF2 and BF2142 managers as well.

$$$ ?
