- More on that artificial vision stuff - New Einstein exhibit, he was smart - Yeah uh.. we need to evaluate this porn here before making a decision. - Surprise.. efforts to stop music piracy deemed as 'pointless' - Asseembling the digital sky
Lastly, architects taking another try at the new WTC designs. Apparently the new drafts will include possibly being the tallest building in the world.

    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.
