Swastika Mod
« on: 17-06-2009, 17:06:24 »
This isn't my work, but I saw it on BF2Files and figured people here would want to see it.

http://battlefield2.filefront.com/file/Forgotten_Hope_2_Swastikas;99922

Looks pretty decent, I have yet to try it out online though. Should be good for all the historical-accuracy nuts round here.

Apologies if this has been posted before, I searched and nothing came up.

WARNING: There is some confusion as to whether this will work with PunkBuster. Download at your own risk until this is confirmed or denied by the development team.

Nice find! Although personally I don't like it at least we have a good way to hush swastica lovers now.

Thanks, but all I did was find it - all compliments should go to John_Mclane, the author over on BF2Files.

About to try it out myself now, the screenshots look great and the comments are all positive (except one guy who was offended and said that putting the Swastika in the game is condoning Nazism...  ::) )

As much as I appreciate Swastikas are a hot topic around here I'm not condoning or condemning their inclusion in the mod by posting this, simply presenting it to the community. With that in mind please keep the arguments etc to a minimum and keep this thread for discussion of the mod in the first post.

Thanks for sharing, but don't the texture sheets say "No Swastikas added under any circumstances"?

I guess the DEV in question won't be happy to see them linked here, just giving you a heads up mate  ;)

I´ve done this mod to for months. But never share it cause it make Problems with hash codes.

At some Models the "Swatiskas" or what ever, Germans call it Hakenkreuz, are to clear... it dont look real.

Def. a good job finding this meadow :) ill download it for sure, not that I'm a swastika lover but my love for FH to be as historically accurate as possible demands it... hopefully when Normandy is released someone will make another minimod like this to put the SS symbols on the collar and whatnot.

Great Find

What kind of problems? Not being able to connect, that kind of stuff?

Yup, I see what you mean. The Stuka swastikas look very ugly, the others a re not that bad, the small white ones even look good.

Yea the ones on the Stuka are a bit too clear, but I don't mind... I'd also like to know if anyone has tried this out yet online?... I was wondering if any problems were encountered

Aha. If devs do have a problem with this, or indeed PB problems emerge, I shall delete this thread or ask a mod to.
