Merciless Historic Addon 3.2 FIX for BF 1.2!
I managed to get the Merciless Creation's Historic Addon v3.2 working with Battlefield 1942 + 1.2 patch. The features of this wonderfull modifications are as follows:
- 100% Accurate Historic Flags in all tickets, bases, and screens.
- Base Untakable Flag - This was changed to a full flag image.
- Icon changes to end game stats images - Awards and Kills.
- Bullet Loader - Changed the loader image to a bullet magazine.
- 16 Hand designed custom loader screens -They show the briefing of the battle, the battle history, etc.
- Fixed player arrow for the minimap
- Blood animation texture - With a perfect flow and seamless transition.
- Hi Res flag textures for base flags outdoors.
- Engineer Reticle changed to provide greater accuracy. This will also show when using the knife, grenade and some guns nests.
- The Flak 38 reticle has been cleaned up and darkened somewhat. It's been tested in S/P and M/P and proven to work as intended.
IMPORTANT NOTE! I merely got the mod working, and by my 10 minutes of play time, it did not crash on me and I saw no bugs. HOWEVER, there might be bugs that I didn't see, and features of the mod that won't work due to 1.2 patch changes. This is not an official mod release, just a quickfix for those who really, really want it. It's a GOOD IDEA to BACK UP your init.con (this can be found in \Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\). It's also important to know that I did no actual work on the artwork in this modification. All credit goes to The Merciless Creations, Mange, Dr. Tempura, Killah & all else who worked on this mod. For the official page, see www.mercilesscreations.com
To install this mod, do as follows:
1: Download: URL
2: If you haven't ready, get WinRAR (or any other unpacker) for unpacking. www.rarlab.com has a shareware version availiable.
3: UnRAR the contant of this folder into the folder in which you have Battlefield 1942 installed. (in other words, if you have installed BF in d:\games\Battlefield, that's where you should unpack to)
4: Start the game as usual. No mod activation needed.
I hope you like it! If there are any bugs noticed, leave them here and I'll see what I can do about it.
Weren't we, the consumers, supposed to get some of that money that they were fined?
It would have been so nice to see a $1 check (or something) from the record industry, telling me that they overcharged me for the music I bought. I think I would have framed it and put it on my wall... :)
If I asked her her favorite Beatles album she would probably tell me "One" :( :( :(

What posters do you have hanging up right now, and do you have them framed or just loose?
Me - Steve McQueen b/w of him riding a motorcycle (picture taken during production of The Great Escape) and a tribute poster of hide ( http://www.hide-city.com/ ).
Framed, naturally.
I have a huge as fuck Biohazard : Code Veronica poster framed, but nowhere to put it

At one point, nine cars were piled together and burning, Mercurio said. Disturbances continued in portions of a 10-block area for several hours.
Nice. 1) You haven't won anything yet and 2) You don't see Michigan doing this shit after beating OSU, or winning the National Championship.
