is this only about BF2 & PR ?

[sgtsev3n]

hello,

is this section only about bf2 and PR modding ? or can we ask here for help, sharing our troubles etc with bf1942 and bf vietnam modding too ?

[Jacksonez__]

you can ask yourself

1. how many not-BF2 related modding threads can you see on realitymod.com forums
2. idk
3. why not

[Outlawz7]

"PR:BF2 Community Modding"

I don't think you'll find anyone here who knows BF1942 or BF:V tbh.

[Mats391]

Since most of these games all work the same feel free to ask questions about them. Like other said this is mostly about BF2, but worst thing that can happen is that we dont know the answer

[sgtsev3n]

okay right, so i ported a car and a weapon (the springfield rifle) from battlefield 1942 battlegroup42 mod to battlefield vietnam POE mod. since they both run almost the same engine, i expected that there wont be any issues. I did the same with bf2 and 2142: i ported content from bf2 to 2142 and there werent any issues like i have with bf1942 and bfvietnam. you can see the screenshots of the ported content here:
bf2 content in 2142 image - sgtsev3n - Mod DB

now lets get back to bf1942 and bfvietnam: i ported the content without any edits. i basically extracted them. i made no edits into the animation, textures or model. the only thing i did was changing the itemindex (so that it will appear in the kit) and the projectile. the same way when i ported content from bf2 to 2142. unlike bf2 & 2142, i get strange issues like here:

this is the springfield rifle
i have only animation issues there, idk if i have to edit them in the .tweak file or if i have to decompile the animations and edit them there.

and here the soviet car:

the problem with the soviet car are:
- that i cant enter the vehicle. when i press e, i get into the vehicle for a very short time and then it pushes me automatically out immediatly. i dont even have time to watch the interior of the car.
- the wheels going into the ground. sometimes it happen immediatly when the round begin, and sometimes it happens after some seconds.
- the damage model is not right, as you can see, there are 2 colored circles when damage model appears.

there are mods like WW2 for bfvietnam, made by EA, or battlegroup42 has released a alpha version for battlefield vietnam which contains some ships, pacific maps etc ported from bf1942. idk what im doing wrong.

[Mats391]

If you post your code, someone might be able to help. Most likely it is down to minor differences in the commands between 1942 and vietnam. Since i mostly know BF2 code, i wont be able to help much
You can have a look here Battlefield Mod Development Tools That site is mostly about 1942 and vietnam, maybe it helps.

As i said i have no real idea, but my guess would be on this:

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.createSkeleton animations/k98.ske

did you move that animation over as well?
