Just a small message about the progress of upcoming v2.50.
We'll have 3 new teams: - The Navy Seals - Civil Vietcong - and the Superheroes
The Superheroes-team will include Rambo, Chuck Norris, Charlie Sheen aka Topper Harley and Mr. Bean aka Mr. Bombastic. Of course this team will be in some selected fun-maps only
Next there are 18 new handweapons: - Colt Silenced - Flarepistol - Ithaca M-37 - M72 A3 Law (another M72 variant) - M21 Silenced - Mosin without scope - MP-18 (stolen from Japanese) - Nagant 1893 - Smith & Wesson Model 12 - Vietcong Bambooknife - Vietcong Bamboostick - Vietcong Bayonett - Vietcong Grenadelauncher - Vietcong Harvestknife - Vietcong Juicegrenade - Vietcong Machete - Vietcong Pistol - Vietcong Satchel
Also 25 new static objects will come with v2.50. - new buildings - new vegetation - new detail objects
The devs have not been lazy and we also get 7 new and 2 revised maps. Some of them have been presented already.
About 40 maps will have some bugfixes and new/improved AI.
Altogether it will be a very nice release and we think to get it complete September 2012.
2. Extract the content of the .rar anywhere you want to have the updater installed.
To start the program, launch Custom-maps Updater.exe inside the extracted Custom-maps Updater folder.
Simple how to use guide
When you first start the program, it should look something like this (depending on your operating system). Start by clicking the "Select Battlefield 1942 Folder" button.
In the window that appears, simply locate your Battlefield 1942 folder (in my case, C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 1942), select it, and click OK. The location you choose will be saved and you won't need to enter it again when you want to update in the future.
Now that the program knows where your Battlefield 1942 folder is, press the "Check for Updates" button and the program will try to recognize which custom-maps files you have and which you're missing.
Now the marked text in the image below will tell you if there are files to update or not. If the "Update" button is clickable it means that you can update. Click it and you will see that the bar starts progressing, when it's done you should receive a message saying that the update was completed.
Notes You can also check the "Show Map List" (look at the picture downstairs) if you want to see a full list of all the custom maps and which you have installed and fully updated.
If there are updates to the program, it will tell you so when you start it, but you will have to update it manually and all updates will be posted in this thread.
