Battlefield 1942 mods

I just bought Battlefield 1942. I'm not very new to the game, though I didn't own it before.
Wich are the mods I really must have?

the mod called Desert Combat, best mod I've seen for bf1942

Have you tried Battlefield Vietnam?

Yeah, I tried. Battlefield Vietnam begins to get boring now. I've played it too often and too long. Nice game though.

Actually, have you tried the Point of Existance Mod for Battlefield Vietnam? it's the best BFV mod out now. Although they don't make any new supports for it because they focused on BF2.

Yeah, I know it. It was a great mod.
But was asking for BF1942

There ain't much mods for 1942.... desert mod is pretty much the best out there.

Forgotten Hope. Has nobody heard of this? It's a big mod and is/was very popular, they're currently making a BF2 version.

Here you go mate, that's the site i used to download mods from.
I used to love 1942, one of the best games I've ever played.
There is a good Stargate mod as well if your into that.

I know this is an old thread but are there still Battlefield 1942 servers up?

It seems to be extremely populated.

I haven't got it installed yet. I still have the WW2 Anthology, so I should try it, when I have time (that's probably going to take like 2 months, as I'm in my exam year).
Does anyone know a way to run it at 1650*1050?
That's the bad thing about old games. They stretch on your 20".

I just might have to reinstall BF1942 soon. I think if dice would update the graphics in 1942 and keep just keep the game play the same I think they would sell thousands of copy's. In my book 1942 is the best WWII shooter to hit the PC.

Meh, I don't thing graphics are really updateble.
The original engine is pretty old. It just doesn't have that sort of stuff.
We don't play Doom2 in HD-graphics either.
Also, updates are free, new games aren't.
You don't earn much money by desperately keeping a game alive (although BF1942 doesn't need desperate people yet, it's still good).

That's why they made BF1943.

By the way, if you want to play BF1942 with some new graphics, you could try installing the free iZ3D driver. It is actually designed for expensive 3D screens that use some sort of polarization, but it works on normal screens too, as the driver also supports those old fashioned red/blue 3D glasses. It's not restricted to special polarization technology. It works as far as I know on almost all 3D games, but I haven't tried it on BF yet.
I don't use it a lot, but I think it makes games like Age of Empires 3 look freaking epic.
You can really see the depth. The normal menus are very high, and the world is very deep. It's awesome.

By the way, I really recommend using it only for games that normally run at at least 60 frames per second.
When activated, this driver will require your pc to render two frames at the same time. I don't think it will just divide your fps by two, as the two frames have different point of views, creating real 3D effects. It might even be slow on games that normally run at 60 fps. By the way, some games have a fps limit. I don't know why, but I remember Call of Duty 4 not being able to get higher than 60 fps. For some reason, this limit stopped working. I was still playing at max quality, but for some reason, my fps went to 150. That gives you some pretty nice averages.

EDIT: I just read that DX10 will be supported when version 2.0 is released. This version isn't out yet, but it's supposed to be in closed beta.
Also, it seems there isn't a x64 driver yet, but the 32 bit version is supposed to work perfectly in x64 systems.

What I want to be able to use stereoscopic 3D. But my problem is I am going to need a new monitor and maybe even update my graphics card from 9800 GTX to maybe a GTX 295. Have you seen the stereoscopic 3D in action?

Yes I did, I installed it on my cheapo 20 inch screen.
You can't use polarization on it, but as long as your graphics card can handle it (most new cards do, so don't be afraid). It should work on your screen.
But you can only do the red/cyan glasses style sterescopy.
Don't know if it works on CRT's though. I tried it on my brother's CRT, and it didn't work. Did work on my LCD.

Then I should be fine because I am using a LCD. I just got to try to find those 3D glasses where did you find yours? I was thinking about the 3D movies in theaters but I am not 100% sure they use the red/cyan glasses.

We had a movie at my home. Spy Kids 3D it was called. Got it for my birthday a long long time ago. It had some 3D glasses. There are other 3D movies out there as well of coarse. Those should have them included.
Unfortunately we lost the glasses, so I went to a local hobby shop and bought two sheet of colored transparent plastic. Works perfect for me. As long as you've got a good tint of red and another one of cyan. With a bit of luck, your local DVD shop might have them too.
Also, you could buy them on ebay. Just type something like red cyan, and you'll find lots of them for just a few bucks.

I haven't tested it a lot, but it seems any modern LCD is fine. Can't see why not. I don't understand why it wouldn't work in CRT by the way, it just happened that it didn't work, but that could be because my brother had an onboard video card back then. As far as I know, your screen just needs to be able to display enough colors, but it's quiet hard to find a screen that doesn't meet those requirements.
EDIT: On their website, the oldest supported GeForce is the 7900, but I can't see why lower cards wouldn't supported. The low-end 8400 is supported, so why not the 7600. Anything newer will do as well. It seems that any card in the ATi Radeon X1xxx series (like the X1650) is supported, and any video card in the Radeon HD2, HD3 and HD4 series (and I expect HD5 to work as well). In other words, any modern graphics card is good enough for this. Looking at that list, it suddenly makes sense why my brothers pc didn't work. He had an old onboard Intel video card. It seems only NVIDIA and ATi are supported.

One more thing, in the driver, you should set "Anaglyph" as your stereo output. That's the 2-color-glasses technology.

By the way, Stereomirror seems to be an interesting thechnique. You might be able to build a technology yourself, by using two LCD's and some sort of transparent plastic thingy. The real deal costs something like 4000 USD, but right now, I'm reading a report about someone getting the same tech DIY for 300 USD. And that 300 USD is just the price he paid for the dual screen set-up.
There are a lot of different technology that the driver supports, so you might be interested in researching those.
