* SP max numbers were decided by map size, number of objects on the map, game play, and lag. Some maps just aren't big enough, or have too many objects, to support 255 bots and you without lagging out the game (even on a newer computer) and on some maps, having too many bots made game play worse.
Single player max (total) number of players is decided by the slider in SP mode. 1600% will give you the max number of players listed on the thumbnail of the map. Adjust the slider to a smaller percentage to choose less total players. Team numbers are decided by map specific .con files, however. For example, if the map .con specifies Team 1 = 120, Team 2 = 80, and you choose 1600% percent on a 128 map, then Team 1 will have 77 players, and Team 2 will have 51 players.
I've been waiting for so long, thanks a lot budy, good job
dude that's crazy! great job!
Gonna burn those bots now!
excellent
Great news! Downloading it now. I've been playing the last version and I have a question. When I drive my tank near an ammo box I just see an icon in the lower right appear, with ammunition and a curved arrow on either side. I stay there with my tank but I do not restock with ammo. How can I do this? Thanks for all your hard work on this mod!
Most tanks will restock ammo automatically. If you are in one that doesn't, please post what tank it was and I will fix this.
Maybe I did not wait long enough. I will try again and let you know. My foot soldiers reload instantaneously, so I didn't wait that long in the tanks. I'm pretty sure it happened in a Panzer IV on Prokhorovka among others.
This is a wonderful mod! It's quickly replacing BG42 and FHR as my favorite! All I need is the ability to have 255 bots in coop multiplayer and a few more maps for this to be absolutely perfect.
Using my own account to reply now. All tanks seem to have the same problem. Tank cannon ammo is always at 1. When you fire, it goes to zero, then back to one when you have reloaded. MG ammo has a limit, but when you run out, you cannot restock at a crate. You just sit there and nothing happens. I have noticed this in any tank I have tried to restock. Seems to be a general problem.
Tank cannon ammo is supposed to always be at 1. You have 1 shell in the breech of the gun at any given time. Your magazine size is the number of shells you have, total, in the tank. This is represented by the bars, and will go down as you shoot. The tank MG reload has been fixed and will be in the next patch, my apologies.
That is great news! As a big machine gun user, this will make the mod perfect!
Map crash on the "Bocage" Map, kick back on the Menu.:(
I will look at this ASAP, thank you!
Hello, please help!
How do I get the 128+ bots to work? I go to single player, instant action, and put bots on 1600%. I only get 63 bots :( What am I doing wrong? I tried multiple maps, no luck. I launch game directly from Warfront shortcut.
Nevermind, I just found the bot patch, works now. Thank you for hard worK!

Is there a way to reduce amount of crashes? I dont know if it's my or the mod's fault, by i often have game crashes while loading random maps. Sometimes you have to try few times, and then map loads after few crashes, and sometimes its impossible to even play on this map.
without a better description of the problem (which maps, which mode, was it a clean mod install, what version of BF1942, etc.) I can't really do much.
i dunno why when i put the mod into battlefield the sounds pack does not register so as a result every vehicle or weapons of the mod dont have any sound
gonna try to redownload but its annoying
looks great i gonna try this mod out thanks for the great work.
This looks great! Before I download - will it work with my SW/RTR expansions too?? Or just the base game?
all maps crash single player, why?
I did the installation as recommended, I placed the warfront folder inside the bf42 mod folder
u need bf1942 lates patch
best mod
a nice mod,i am glad to see it's alive

hey any update for this? jacking up the bot count to 255 makes half of them non functional :(
When the game starts in single player mode, there is a 'Map Vote' screen prompting me to vote for the next map - 'select map' or 'lock'. I can't remove or interact with this screen, which effectively blocks my view of the game. Please let me know how to remove the screen or give me a solution to this problem! Your mod looks incredible and I would really like to play it. Thank you! :)
