Hi guys,

I got really bored with the instabilities and lack of official coop in BF2, so decided to reinstall BF1942 + R2R + SW over the weekend. Wow it's still a great game, been having some real fun against the bots. Now I must admit they are not as good as the bots in BF2, but still fun, especially when they outnumber you 2 to 1.

Anyway I am running the stand along dedicated server, and would like to either use some of the already great mods for COOP (realplayer or ballistik) or have a go at doing some stuff myself. Can these be used on the stand alone, or do they need modifying and will they be serverside? If so what are the main differences between editing the dedicated files and the full game?

What exactly can be edited with BF1942 and stay serverside?

Any help would be appreciated.

You mean like you running a mod, for yourself? but not those who connect to the server?

For alot of Server hosting needs I turned to the super useful Black Bag Ops program. http://www.blackbagops.com/

Maybe this will help you? its got lots of options. Including turning up the AI an extra notch Also manages which mods are running if my memory is right. I used this for a while here on BF1942, I learned about it ages ago running my own Half Life 1 server for a short time

I used to love playing DC, DCX and the WCCsquad's mod. If you want to try out serversiding the mods. Check out the the serversiding site.
