We need a patched version of it before the Judgement Day.
Edit: and maybe make this thread sticky?

Sorry, I meant patched executable, which uses sk's master server instead of gamespy's one.

Ah Slobo I wasn't quick enough to ask you to include another small small fix as again they forgot to put the green camoed Karaś on Eastern Blitz. Is the installer repacking a very tedious job? :3

BTW And whats about eYe's installer? Are there going to be 2 different ones now??

Send a dvd to pum maybe so he can upload it.

If you could send me the source code of installer, I can try to compile it and upload it, as I have previous version of your installer - I will just have to replace 0.51 with 0.551 and add fixed executable, right?

I think that We should work together and create one installer.

@eYe what is your progress with installer?

My installer contain:

- BF 1942 1.612 Origin (SiMPLE patch with widescreen and host server fix), (BF1942.exe is running as admin; compatibility mode - off)
- FH + mappack 6
- FHSW 0.551   (changed menu sound for "do u think I´m saxxon?" and loading sound from old S&T pack)

Compression: lzma2/max
Ready installer size: 6,77GB  dry

My FHSW installer is also almost ready to upload (2 parts). One problem: Max upload size on moddb is 2.8 GB so you have to cut it in multiple parts. I don't know what to do now.

What key and registry entry do you use for BF1942?

My installer automatically detects BF1942 and picks the correct path and if you don't install FHSW Part 1 first it won't let you install Part 2. It also creates a backup of your old BF1942.exe and replaces it with the new one (Gamespy/widescreen/noCD).

I will also include an upated version of FHSW's lexiconall.dat which fixes some bugs (like non-alphabetical order of the maps, Berlin 1945 crash, Sturmtiger kill shown as Sturmpanther). If you need it for your installer I should be able to upload it even with my extremely slow internet at the moment.

Very interesting trick to use date as key, did you think of this by yourself?

So you use the Origin registry, my installer shouldn't have any problems then if we use it.

Inno setup Pascal has only few standard functions, and there is no random or randomize functions... so I think generating key using date is good solution.

There is many examples in google  wink
Your Installer would be better so I suggests to take your as "official", alright?

@eye: would it be possible to include the fix of CTF mode at the same time or this is an excesive modification?

Are you going to allow users to choose what they want to install? This is mandatory I think.

I putted the Eastern Blitz patch as post attachment, I tested it, works online.
Attachments: Eastern_Blitz-f.rar (1.4 Kb)

Yea no problem to include these things. Not sure if you can still play on the server with a modified objects.con though. What options should the user have exactly?

Thanks for your code slobo.

separated BF1942, FH, FHSW. Let's say I have the BF1942 already installed so I need mods only. Or I screwed the FHSW files so I wanna reinstall them without the necessarity of copying tons of gigabytes.

I would like such a feature as multilanguage support, and, especially, Russian (though this requires replacement of LexiconAll.dat and Font.rfa), so I could spread it on Russian forums and torrent trackers.

The BF1942 installer I'm working on let's you pick which language (only those included in BF1942) and version (CD/Origin) you want to install. The installer itself is in English of course. It doesn't look like the game had a Russian release, is there a Russian patch available? If yes can you play with it on servers with Content check on?
