A mod for BF1942 that aims to have the feeling of a new expansion pack for the game.
Operation Overlord v0.1 released, containing only one map for now: Operation Neptune.
For now, only adds one new map: Operation Neptune:
- Large assault map consisting of the landing zone and beaches, bunkers, farm and a town
- Complete co-op / AI bots support
- New special kit: Gunner. Has a handheld MG42 and can be found from 3 places in the map.
People have already seen that I posted here a project called "An engine for games like Battlefield". The truth is that the engine was initially started for a game which had to be a logical continuation of this mod (Gunner's Mod), because the original engine couldn't provide me with everything I needed for what I wanted to do. So, what was the game about? As the title says it's a game like Battlefield.. But also it would have Red Orchestra (and also some more modern titles like HLL and PostScriptum) vibes (in regards to that it would be a more hardcore game (but not too hardcore, like PS)). Like for example it would have separate seats for the gunner and driver (so that if you're driving a tank alone, be prepared to switch positions quickly). It would of course impact the dynamics, but I think that vehicles in Battlefield games are way too overpowered..
Other features:
- Vehicle crew damage (if armor gets penetrated then the damage goes not only to the vehicle but also the crew members)
- Vehicle part damage and repair (a tank track for example can be shot by some smaller caliber weapon, and the tank will not be able to move until the crew repairs it)
- Random control points (the control point positions can be randomized per game)
- The control points should be linked in chains so that you can capture only connected points
- Sheer variety of non-mechanized equipment that can be towed (or carried): artillery, mortars, machine guns, etc.
- More customization to kits (can select items on the kits)
- Dense forests and foliage, higher aircraft ceiling, radars, and more..
In overall the game should have been more infantry centered, so that the vehicles are more like an (useful) addition but not the main players (I hate games like WarThunder to be honest).
As I don't have a lot of resourced, so it should have been something really simplistic, with very basic models and not a lot of variety (at least at first). Not AAA for sure (maybe something like Battle Rush or even more sketchy).

few improvements were made. Bots should no longer stay idle right after spawn (it was happening quite often on classic maps originally from FH), all crashes in singleplayer were fixed too. There is still a bug remaining of bots following and staring at few vehicles, it's still present but... Always something to work for and improve!

A 3D engine for games like Battlefield 1942 / Battlefield 2 (other types of games may be supported via editing the game DLL (C++ code)).
Completely unfinished.
The making of games for this engine should look like making mods for Battlefield (this is the concept). In the sense that you edit the data files (if you've ever modded for Battlefield or C&C Generals you know what I mean -- the files are text files that describe objects and do not contain any code). But if you want to code then there's the game DLL (which allows for much more flexibility, practically allows you to move away from the concept of a Battlefield like game proposed in the above).
Currently only a proto.
I started it for my own Battlefield like game a time ago. The game isn't there, but here's a demo of the engine itself.. (pretty basic yet)
Update (Oct 27, 2024):
Fixed object stripes popping up in the far away.
The LOD distance was also increased a bit (see Objects/LodSelectors) to decrease the overall popping (not a good solution, but this is until the proper vertex morphing).
Changes in October 25 2024:
Vehicles.
UI framework.
In-game map.
Some minor graphical tweaks, a bit better shadows.
The DX12 driver has been removed so far (an OpenGL driver will be introduced soon).
Changes in June 26 2024:
The collisions are now true meshes that fit the objects well (they were simple PhysX primitives in the previous version).
Introducing the object template system (the Data/ folder). You can really change the objects right now. Not many features supported, but it's the backbone for the future improvements. The object placement system is in the Assets/Levels/Features.ini file.
Technical:
- New vehicles, weapons, artillery
pieces (this is not only the amount but there are different types of
them.. this was also made to make it more historically accurate)
-
The maps have been modified for a more positional warfare (more
bunkers, sandbags, barbwire, stationary pieces, etc.)
- The LMG
class is now separated from the Assault class
- Object collision
fixes: In the original game the bullets could often hit something
invisible in the air. This is now fixed (well, at most part).
-
Gun sights (with range marks), artillery sights for indirect fire,
etc.
- Grenade and stuff hilites (a thrown grenade is now much
easier to notice)
- Bullet and projectile speeds, more realistic
damage system and armor configuration
- No planes (I just didn't
have a controller at that time, so I just left them aside completely)
https://youtu.be/iwt17E_pOrA?si=cHzoFgDWqgtzUWjr
https://youtu.be/XoZcwg61rlE?si=TF0PW_vrvp3zZRaS
- The vehicles (at least the system to build them: separate parts which you can setup by yourself). Some work is still required here. Only the wheeled and tracked vehicles are currently present. No weapons.
- The UI
- An in-game map
- Some graphical tweaks (added terrain shadows, increased the view distance)
- The animation system (only the tank track so far)
What's next?
- Player animation and a better player controller
- Water
- Sound
- (Maybe) multiplayer..
I guess it may take the whole winter. xD I'll probably post an update when just something be done..
As usual, the demo is available at: Imagetools.itch.io
If you get any errors, feel free to post them here.

Its made converted for the FHSW Mod Mappack. Now three different Strasbourg Days for BF1942 are available.

Battlefield 1942 Custom Objects BC Files
Strasbourg BC Files
Black Mamba re-released the Battlecraft files needed to correctly display custom objects from three Battlefield 1942 maps: Battle of Britain, Coral Sea and Liberation of Caen.
The original credit for these Battlecraft files comes from a modder named Dweller_Benthos. Unfortunately his personal website where the files were hosted has disappeared.
As some of you may know, these map files feature exclusive objects. For example, the Ju88A bomber plane is only found in Battle of Britain, as is the Pegasus bridge static object in Liberation of Caen.
With this workaround, you can use the objects in any map. Note however that to make the objects appear in-game, you will need to add their appropriate archives. This workaround is ONLY for displaying the custom objects in Battlecraft 1942, and adding them to your maps.
Download Link is here: Battlefield_1942_Custom_Objects_BC_Files.zip
Please report any bug you may have when using the files. OP updated.
The hg-clan.blogspot.com site that thank you Black Mamba. We would like to say thank you and hope that you continue to inspire us with your creations and events.

Greetings to our many fans, we of the Battlefield 1918 Mod Development Team hope you have enjoyed our effort to make Battlefield 1918 the mod it is today. With this in mind it is time to finally show off one of the new maps that will be coming in the next update to Battlefield 1918, namely Osowiec Fortress which became the scene of one of the most famous battles of the entire war, namely the Attack of the Dead Men!
Although attacked multiple times by the Germans since September of 1914, Osowiec Fortress stood as a symbol of Russian tenacity against overwhelming odds and this would be most clearly demonstrated by the 3rd battle for the Fortress on August 6th of 1915. With this attack the Germans deployed poison gas in the hopes of destroying the Russian garrison who did not have gas masks at the time. Amazingly between 60 to 100 of the 900 Russian soldiers were able to survive using improvised protection made out of their own shirts and launched a counter attack that drove back the 7,000 to 8,000 Germans who opposed them inflicting heavy losses on the Germans in the process. This event would forever be remembered as the famous Attack Of The Dead Men and it is this specific engagement that will be depicted in Battlefield 1918. This map will naturally be the first gas map to feature Russian soldiers and as such will feature a special gas variant of the Russian forces.
As a final note it should be mentioned that this Battle has been requested enough that we believe it deserves its own trailer, as such see for yourself what the new map will look like in action!
