See post below...

Ok, here I'll break it down for you DC lakeys:

1. Go to your BF1942 main folder\Mods\Desert_Combat and find the init.con file.

2. Backup the init.con file there (ie, copy and call it init.org).

3. Open the init.con file (not the init.org) up with your favorite text editor (Notepad for example) and delete everything. Next paste the following stuff into it:

game.setCustomGameName Desert_Combat
game.addModPath Mods/MC1942_Crosshair/
game.addModPath Mods/MC1942_TexSet/
game.addModPath Mods/BF1942/MC1942_BloodFX/
game.addModPath Mods/MC1942/
game.addModPath Mods/Desert_Combat/
game.addModPath Mods/BF1942/
game.customGameFlushArchives 0
game.setCustomGameVersion 0.25c
game.setCustomGameUrl http://www.DesertCombat.com"

Game.setMenuMusicFilename "music/slaughter4.bik"
Game.setLoadMusicFilename "music/vehicle4.bik"
Game.setWinMusicFilename "music/vehicle3.bik"
Game.setLoseMusicFilename "music/menu.bik"
Game.setCampaignLoseMusicFilename "music/theme2.bik"
Game.setDebriefingMusicFilename "music/briefing.bik"

4. Well that's it. Every hack you loaded using TV 1.32 will now be loaded into DC.

You may get some wierd artefacts such as german flags, but it's worth it. You will get all the skins, such as the tank cokpit removal.

In the next version of TV I will fully support DC and include the skins for the rest of the new vehicles; such as the jeeps. But this will tide you over until then...enjoy :)

peon that works for a couple of maps but the majority of maps is corrupt data

[toadpeon]

Could you be any more specific? I not going to try every map and see which one works and which one does not.

You could put forth a tiny bit of effort on your side and list those maps that do not work.

I tried it and no matter which map I run the game will crash to the desktop and soon as it tries to load it.

I will have to play with it some more, going to try by adding one thing at a time like crosshairs first and so on and maybe find out what part is causing it to crash.

[toadpeon]

Woops, I didn't test this in mp/online. So I see it doesn't work. Like I said I do not play DC. It looks like I need to edit the rfa files that are in the DC folders to make this work, and Ill make that avail in next version of TV.

But for now follow ther same steps that I posted above, but in step 3 paste this instead:

game.setCustomGameName Desert_Combat
game.addModPath Mods/MC1942_TexSet/
game.addModPath Mods/Desert_Combat/
game.addModPath Mods/BF1942/
game.customGameFlushArchives 0
game.setCustomGameVersion 0.25c
game.setCustomGameUrl http://www.DesertCombat.com"

Game.setMenuMusicFilename "music/slaughter4.bik"
Game.setLoadMusicFilename "music/vehicle4.bik"
Game.setWinMusicFilename "music/vehicle3.bik"
Game.setLoseMusicFilename "music/menu.bik"
Game.setCampaignLoseMusicFilename "music/theme2.bik"
Game.setDebriefingMusicFilename "music/briefing.bik"


This will give you no fog + most of the skins. Note the neon skins do not work because there are new helmet modles on DC that will need to be skinned, but things like tank cokpit and snow (if you loaded the BoB text pack) will be processed.

The easiest thing to do (and which I've done and works 100%), is just to copy and rename your bf1942 colored skins to the names of the DC custom skins. Sure they are going to change the custom made DC skins back into regular bf1942 skins, but since the hacked skins are just solid colored skins with no details, it won't matter anyway.

helps with tank view-but hurry with no fog-neon helmets etc...
