Title: BattleGroup: Frontlines
Post by: Turkish007 on 10-12-2012, 17:12:52
Hey,

Found a cool mod about the Eastern Front of WW2:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/battlegroup-frontlines

I know an early version for Bf42 was present and even though its not as awesome as FH2 is (or will be) it still looks cool. A great pump-up for the FH2Eastern Front. So, what do you think?

And here I thought there was suddenly a brand new spanking release by the already dead BGF.

Post by: Turkish007 on 10-12-2012, 17:12:27
Dead? Wha--  :-[ They had content they havent had released?

It looked really cool, still playable IMO

I used to play this mod before FH2 existed. The quality and the amount of content was alright but not even close to the FH2 standards back then and totally not like it is today. Not bad though but FH2 took the first place after its release.

I loved the tanks in this mod. Partly because it was mostly early war and they just felt really heavy and bulky.

I really wished this mod could've brought Hungarians and Romanians, but...   :(

I do believe someone on the FH2 staff worked on this, and he had a new beta for it but it got scrapped. A shame really, because some of the pictures looked really good.

I have somewhere on my laptop the latest beta of BGF.
I am not sure that MP working, but the SP is awesome after latest changes.

I remember back in 08-09 takiwa approached me and asked if i would like to do some animation work for the mod. Sadly i was wrapped up in development with Xww2 that lacked overall quality and went nowhere.

Experience WW2... That one might be interesting to try too. It consists more fronts than FH2 and BGF, right?
Title: Re: BattleGroup: Frontlines
Post by: titsmcgee852 on 13-12-2012, 02:12:45
I do believe it is mostly the pacific front, but of course is no where near FH2 quality.

Post by: chad509 on 13-12-2012, 20:12:34
yea we had a good idea with xww2 but we had a small team with poorly produced work. Give it a shot, take a look at all my old crappy animations :P The main reason why i applied to xww2 over fh2 was well number 1 fh2 already had killi and to be honest, i did play FH for bf42 but i played more xww2 due to before fh 0.7 there was no coop and i only play coop.  ;)

Hi,

I found the latest beta, but it's very rough version. Also I found a lot of new stuff which are not into the beta + new animation from Archi for some weapons. I need to put all these things into the beta.
I found also and some Stalingrad maps, which I made... unfortunately the final versions are lost. So I will try to finish at least one before send link with the beta. Here you some pics :-)

Had to create a new installer, as Aser had updated animations for a bunch of weapons, plus a fix for his Stalingrad map. The new installer is uploading as we speak. Then he'll do some final tests after which it's good to go, hopefully ;).

Nice, i tried this some time ago but downloaded again now. Some neat features you got there, love the tank behaviour and sounds, destructible houses are a big plus, too! The visual quality varies a lot, on maps and models, but overall it has a good feeling. A lot of the effects are also very nice, though maybe a bit exaggerated (handgrenades and tank explosions!).
Would be nice to get an event going to see how it actually plays.

This is great, the tanks really handle like tanks should. The running animations when holding the k98 are awesome, really immersive. The statics look great too, the house in particular. Thanks for uploading this :)

 Installed & clicked on desktop shortcut (Admin Mode) and receive this error.

Odd, it should work just fine.

Go to your mods folder, then go into "bgf_1.5" and create a shortcut to BGF.exe. Then place that on your desktop. Does that work for you?
Title: Re: BattleGroup: Frontlines
Post by: Jimi Hendrix on 01-03-2013, 00:03:14
 No.....

 I uninstalled/reinstalled & still get the same error. Very strange.

 Obviously it works as others have successfully launched the mod.

 Was hoping there was some sort of path issue but apparently not.

 >:(
Title: Re: BattleGroup: Frontlines
Post by: AfterDune on 01-03-2013, 08:03:43
And it doesn't work even when you just double click the BGF.exe, instead of using a shortcut?

Could also try launching it without BGF.exe, I'm not sure what exactly it does, so perhaps you can just run without?

yes, this is a horrible resurrection of a dead thread, my apologies...but I did indeed give my permission for anyone to use any files that I created during my dev life on the BF series. I have been out of the BF loop for some time now, so I don't know if anyone is actively modding for BF2 anymore, but if you can use anything I worked on, please feel free to do so.

And Merry Christmas to you all.

Title: Re: BattleGroup: Frontlines
Post by: takiwa on 24-12-2013, 07:12:55
I have no idea, I am not in contact with anyone from the old (or new) BGF team.

I myself have just started playing with the files again, and have a few items for a Pacific Theater done, but I am mostly just playing around. I don't see that I would ever be done in any sort of realistic time frame to release anything to the public.
