BF1942 1.4 Crack Thread - Do Not Create New Threads

I have seen that many people are wondering the "Data diffrent" error message in Bf1942.
Elkan was early with a releas of a Working crack.

But everyone didn't notice that one!

So I have created a smaller crack! Base on Elkan, GiMPRUS and Fairlight.
(Note: The original crack by Elkan, was about 6MB the new one is about 32kb....yeah!)

It's patch the .exe file so you can run the game with out CD and with out "Data Diffrent".

Here are some instructions...

1. Install BF1942
2. Patch to version 1.4
3. Extract all files in this archive to your BF-folder. (folder-structure already set)
4. Make a copy of BF1942.exe
5. Rename the copy BF1942.exe to BF1943.exe
6. Open the Original BF1942.exe with this patch!

The file can be downloaded from members.lycos.co.uk/krondike

Notes:
Sorry for Fairlight and GiMPRUS that I didn't include yours .nfo files. But I did write that you 2 did much work!

If you have problems or comments and stuff like that... please reply...

Edit: This doese not fix the "moding problem". My suggestion is that...CDkiller or someone...that have Unwarper for SafeDisc 2.8 can test to extract the mod.dll file.....

Erm, does this crack let you switch between mods without a crash?
DATA DIFFERENT problem was fixed quite some time ago, or so said the README files.

Great thanks for making the crack though!!!!!

Do you know why?
becuase Fairlight did the mod.dll file... and doese only contains the only neacysairy to start the game....
A tip is to look at Road To rome shortcut... then you know the parameters to run the mod

data different...

you will also get this, if you have modded your version of bf (e.g. Merciless 4 etc.) and are trying to connect to a pure (=cheat protection) server.

Hmm...
Yes, when you start a mod or expansion - use a proper shortcut.
Still, I think someone has to make a good crack that allows you to switch from mod to mod in the game!

I think its safe to say this thread went in the same direction as the WarCraft....

Its only really worth creating these types of threads when a patch has been released. I know now, there wasnt a patch released for this game this week...

Unstuck...

Lightbulb Loading Mods..

Problem: Try and load a mod from the "Custom Game" menu, and you crash to your windows desktop.

Answer: You can directly load mods, with BF's own syntax.
just use "+game modfoldernamehere"

Check this screenshot: Mod Loading

As an easier method, there's a handy utility called "Mod Chooser" which just automates this process.
http://bfediting.codeweld.com/modchooser/

And for online play, there's NO excuse for NOT using the ultimate in gaming browsers: The All Seeing Eye
(this deals with mod syntax also, when joining games)

a) Great...so YOU knew...and it was vaguely mentioned. Were instructions posted on how to do it? No.

b) Mod chooser links work fine. Try again. And don't use leeching download managers.

c) ASE 21 day trial is a farse. They encourage you to register, but it's fully functional without registering, and doesn't expire.

You'll get a friendly window asking if your interested in registering every once in awhile after the 21 days.

Well, it's actually every week and every time you use the scanner server and it's maxed out (subscribers get higher priority of course).
