A useful BF1942 client mod: bf42plus

For the last couple of weeks, I've been evaluating a Battlefield 1942 client tool called bf1942plus.

bf42plus inserts itself into the BF1942 process during startup, and its features can be controlled with a config file or using client console commands.

Here are a few of the features of bf42plus:

  • Assign more and different colours to player names.
  • Fix crash when the game is minimized.
  • Fix other windows getting resized when the game is launched.
  • Center kill message now shows who teamkilled you.
  • Fix a loading screen crash caused by a bug in the game's memory allocator.
  • Speed up reconnecting to servers on map change.
  • Changing mod when joining a server from the serverlist is faster.
  • Nametags are lowered when u get close to other players so you can see them more easily.
  • Yellow server messages are immediatedly copied to the console so one isn't lost if it is overwritten by another.
  • Message when someone connects to the server.
  • Show player IDs in chat and/or in kill messages.
  • Show player IDs in nametags.
  • Show in the console who started a vote or voted.

There's now a link to bf42plus on the Files page on this site.

NOTE: this mod has some features that are considered cheats on some servers. I currently don't see any reason to ban its use on TPU.

Take a look! I'm finding the player name colour function to be particularly useful.
