| It's been a while, hasn't it? School has been burying me so it's been very hard to keep up. But I'm coming back! (soon)
Anyway, so today I was wandering about the web wondering why no one had attempted to make a Korean War mod for BF1942 when I suddenly stumbled upon these images.
Impressive, no?
Turns out all this is from an old mod made by a couple of American college students 11 years ago. It's called "Operation Anubis" and focuses on hypothetical post-1945 WWII battles with post-war/experimental technology as you can see. their site is here (hasn't been updated for a while).
Unfortunately the mod is so old that it requires v1.45 of BF42 to run. I have v1.61 like most of us and it wouldn't install for me. So as of now it looks like there's no way of accessing these beauties...
Well anyhow, I thought it was an interesting find. Did any of you guys already know about this? What do you think?

| Hi Cable 
Yes I've seen this mod before but it's Vanilla gameplay and quality so nothing special or worth playing nowadays imo.

| Yes, the mod itself is unplayable now. But those models...
Surely they can't just be left to rot in a dead mod forever, right?

| I don't know anything about moddeling but in my opinion these models are of very low quality; even compared to normal FH equipment.
The Shooting Star may be the best.

| They could be remodeled to look better, maybe we should consider saving these?

| Here's the DL link for the installer
But as I said earlier it won't work for versions of BF1942 newer than v1.45. BUT If we could find a way to downgrade a copy of the vanilla game to 1.45 and then install the mod, we would be able to retrieve the files for these models.

I think changing string which contains version in registry before running the installer should do the trick:
Step 1. Open Run->regedit
Step 2. Open:
Origin:
x64:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\Origin\Battlefield 1942 \ergc
x32:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Origin\Battlefield 1942\ergc
CD:
x64:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942
x32:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942
Step 3.
On the right side you should see a registry key named "INSTALLEDVERSION", double-click it.
Step 4.
Type in "1.04.5" (but don't forget to change it back after running the installer).
Though I agree with eYe and Xen here: mod is nothing much.

So now we have access to the models. They're not perfect right now, but with a little love we can refurbish them and bring them into the 2010s

Sorry, I just uploaded what was in that installer from Gamefront, can't do anything with it. Seems like this version called 1.0 (and in readme too), but ingame it's 0.8.

It doesn't matter how much content it has when the gameplay isn't appealing to me.
But I can respect the work they put in back then when it was a lot harder to mod on this engine.
