[bf1942] Desert Combat

you shouldnt need to make any adjustments to any files in any dir. as long
as your dir structure looks like this;

[game at okapi bf1942_01]$ tree -d
.
|-- MultiplayerServers
`-- mods
    |-- BF1942
    |   |-- Archives
    |   |   `-- Bf1942
    |   |       `-- Levels
    |   |-- Logs
    |   `-- Settings
    |       |-- Default
    |       |   `-- Controls
    |       `-- Profiles
    |           |-- Custom
    |           `-- Default
    `-- Desert_Combat
        |-- Archives
        |   `-- bf1942
        |       `-- levels
        |-- Movies
        `-- Music

19 directories

then you should be ok.  all i done was copied the /Desert_Combat dir from my
win machine into the /mods/ dir on linux machine.( exacty the same place on
both machines ) Start the game how u described ./bf1942_linuxded +game
desert_combat
voila..  Hope u get it sorted its a great mod.

Just wondering if anyone has succeeded in getting Desert Combat to run with
the Linux server?

I may have missed something but this is essentially what I have done:
Zipped up the Mods/Desert_Combat folder from a windows machine, and unzipped
into bf1942/mods/ on the Linux bf1942 server.
Added the "+game Desert_Combat" argument to the command line.

I'm using the latest beta (18th.Jan). The system plays fine (definition of
fine here - it runs, and people can connect) with normal bf1942, but
currently people are getting corrupt files messages, when attempting to run
the mod with the procedure above. The system is a duel p3-800 with gig
memory, running Debian 3.0 with the 2.4 kernel.

I am guessing that I need to make some small changes to the
mods/BF1942/Settings/ServerSettings.con file or something?

Thanks for your time.
