Added: Full body prediction from ETPub. g_misc flag 512. Same as ETPub g_misc 32+256. This makes it harder to get inside walls etc, but can also cause problems when proning through windows etc.

Fixed: Client crashes related to cg_gun_frame being set.

Fixed: !subnets command was printing itself as showsbans instead of subnets.

Fixed: Reading subnet bans with full octets and treating them as partial. Also writing them as partial on next shrubbot write.

Fixed: g_classWeapons with g_mode. When g_mode was set to 8 Thompson and MP40 couldn't be picked up by coverts.

New version of silEnT mod 0.5.1 is available.

Download

Main things in this version, briefly:

New !hstats command which will display the hitregions players are hitting.

New flag (512) for g_medics cvar, which makes adrenaline take only half charge.

Admins are given the possibility to control the damage reduction when players under the effect of adrenaline are hit. Check g_adrendmgreduction cvar.

Want smaller body hitboxes? No problem, just use g_realbody cvar.

Long-awaited landmine bahaviour: only the engineer that planted the landmine can trigger/defuse it. New flag (12) to g_friendlyFireOpts cvar added for this purpose.

Themed time, fps, timer, speedometer, K/D/S display and lagometer.

We also made Lua interpreter built into the server binary. This should make installing easier.

What else? Bug fixes and some reworks. Just check the change log below:

Added: !hstats, command will display the hitregions players are hitting.

Added: g_medics flag 512, adrenaline takes only half charge.

Added: g_adrendmgreduction, admins can control the damage reduction when players under the effect of adrenaline are hit.

Added: themed Draws (time, fps, timer, speedometer), K/D/S display and lagometer. New cvar for this: cg_themedDraws {0,1}: 0-use the old style, 1- themed style

Added: new flag to g_friendlyFireOpts: 32. Only the engineer that planted the landmine can trigger/defuse it.

Added: g_realbody, possibility for server admins to set up smaller body hitboxes

Fixed: !userlist command was not working if noone was online on the server.

Fixed: In certain cases same player was displayed multiple times on the userlist output.

Fixed: SP_team_WOLF_objective: exceeded MAX_MULTI_SPAWNTARGETS (16), fix from flms of ETPub

Fixed: !showbans didn't always display bans properly when the banned player didn't have PB GUID. Also, silEnT ID is now included in the list.

Fixed: Warmup was not dislayed to players before the warmup countdown started.

Fixed: Proned players moving when others were standing on their backs.

Fixed: vid_restart crash

Fixed: Temp Ban System didn't handle silEnT GUIDs

Fixed: Passed nextmap vote will now correctly go into intermission when map voting is enabled.

Fixed: maps not listed in the vote menu when game type is mapvoting or TDM

Fixed: not themed fireteam menus

Fixed: additional space behind location in fireteam window

Reworked: The K/D in the scores is renamed to KR to reduce confusion about it.

Reworked: The !finger output prints the current PB GUID of the player. Not the one that is stored in the database.

Reworked: The silEnT GUID handling is changed a little. This prevents certain types of copy paste spoofings. Note, players that are not stored to the database with valid PB GUIDs will create new player records. Also, from the old ban lists, at least the silEnT GUID (sguid) fields must be cleared to prevent false bans.

Reworked: Lua interpreter is now built into the server binary. This will make installing easier.

Removed: g_realHead realistic hitboxes from ETPub/zinx are now used always

Removed: g_mapVoteFlags no longer has flag 16. If admin needs a command to get next map in rotation when map voting is enabled, he can easily create one executing "vstr nextmap".

Removed: g_spoofOptions, the spoofing is now checked unconditionally.

Removed: g_punkbuster, the PunkBuster is no longer supported by EvenBalance and this cvar is no longer needed.

Added: g_misc flag 256. Setting this flag disables the "First Blood" announcement.

Danger Zones

With version 0.7.0 silEnT mod introduced new covert ops class ability.

This is the short introduction of this feature.

Danger zones are areas on the map that covert ops can mark on the command map and by this means notify his team members about some special (in general) danger in those places.

It can be of any type, like: arty, heavy defense fire, MG camper, or whatever players find dangerous for their team at that particular moment of game play.

To mark the danger zone look through binoculars and press left mouse button (attack key - whatever it is).

Danger zone is now marked:

Once the danger zone is marked by Covert Ops it starts to be visible on the compass and command map and lasts for 30 seconds.

By default each team can mark up to 2 danger zones. Admins can control this number by g_maxMarkers cvar.

In addition, if the command map is built, players are notified about entering and leaving the danger zones by sound, text notifications and Danger Zone HUD element.

Danger zone enter notification:

Danger zone leave notification:

Danger zone HUD element is visible while player is inside the danger zone.

Danger Zones notifications, sound and leave notification can be controlled in the silEnT HUD UI menu.

Danger zones configuration menu:

Different locations:

EA has released its seminal PC first-person shooter Battlefield 1942 for free on its distribution portal Origin.

This is in honour of the series' 10 year anniversary as well as Battlefield 3's premium service acquiring over two million members worldwide since it launched in June. EA noted that Battlefield 3 has been its fastest-selling game in history with 17 million copies copies sold since its release just over a year ago.

When we launched Battlefield 1942 ten years ago, we had lofty ambitions to create a first-person shooter that would push the boundaries of innovation, creativity and design. We evolved the FPS gameplay formula by introducing the world to all-out warfare via land, air and sea, said vice president and general manager of DICE, Karl Magnus Troedsson.

We wanted to thank our fans who have supported us throughout the years by restoring Battlefield 1942 for a digital re-release and give everyone a chance to play the game that started it all.

Since the game has full mod support, here's a great list of mods available for BF1942, courtesy of Redditor Sonic_Dah_Hedgehog:
