I don't think that we'll come even close to 64 players so short playing time shouldn't be an issue. ;)

Clans and Tournaments / FHSW Naval Event!

Here you'll find everything you need to participate:
http://www.moddb.com/members/eyeris/tutorials/installation-guide-for-fhsw

Everyone is welcomed, especially beginner. Just jump in and have fun!
You won't be able to play these maps usually, because they don't work in singleplayer + you need a lot of players to have fun on them.

The following maps will be played, I'll give a little overview of each map:
1941:
Rheinuebung: Expect a fierce battle for the flags between Bismarck/Prinz Eugen and Prince of Wales/Hood.
Battle of Off Malay: This map recreates the Japanese attack on the Prince of Wales. Will they be able to defend the ship this time?

1942:
Arctic Convoy: The Germans must sink the enemy ships before the time runs out. They attack the British convoy with submarines and bombers under favor of night. The British have to look out for dangerous icebergs as well (no joke!). ;D
Battle of Midway: This is a more realistic remake of the classic Midway.

1943:
Battle of Bougainville: Both sides have an island with a small airfield and some ships. The objective is to destroy the others airfield.

1944:
Operation Hailstone: A massive attack on the Japanese naval and air base at Truk.
Operation A: 3 carriers + 1 heavy cruiser vs 3 carriers + 1 heavy cruiser. :P
Battle of Leyte Gulf: A full scale sea battle with lots of ships at night. Because you can't see much you heavily rely on your reconnaissance planes.

1945:
Operation Kikusui day1: The best Yamato ever created in a video game (around 40 usable positions) trys to withstand the combined force of 3 carriers and 2 heavy cruisers.
Operation Kikusui day2: Kamikaze attacks on an American naval formation as a last desperate attempt by the Japanese.
Air Raid Alert Kure: Defend Japan and its ships vs an endless stream of B-29s.

You must install the map tweak packs if you want to join a server that uses them.

One of our community members made an installer: http://www.gamefront.com/files/21068681/fhsw_patch_1111.exe



€: Also Cretan Village is a Fan Mappack 6 map, you need that as well: http://www.gamefront.com/files/5075388/Forgotten-Hope-Fan-Mappack-6
You asked why FHSW only has a small player base. Well, you have to install a lot of shit, that might be one of the reasons. ;)

Wait, are you trying to install the tweak packs or S&T pack? I assume S&T since it's 1.3 GB.
1. If you've overwritten some files while trying to install S&T you have to reinstall FHSW first. (delete FHSW folder before reinstall)
2. put the STFHSW folder into your mods folder (..\EA Games\Battlefield 1942\Mods)
3. put the init.con from the FHSW folder within the S&T pack into your FHSW directory (overwrite the old init.con)

That's the latest S&T pack, so you're downloading the right one. It contains background music for some maps, you might wanna sort that out. :P (simply don't copy the folder 'music' into your FHSW folder)

Next event is on the upcoming Saturday + Sunday 7 pm CET, I made a thread about it on the tournament section of the forum.

Downloaded but im so lost, what are this Maptweak things for?
The main purpose of these packs is to alter the balance on unfair maps. They achieve this mostly by changing vehicle spawns or moving flags. The more interesting aspect of the tweak packs is, that they sometimes add new vehicles and gameplay mechanics for testing purposes e. g. tracers for every tank, ship and at gun. Another interesting thing is the addition of angled damage on some maps. Shells bounce off your tank when they hit the armor in an acute angle (don't know if that's the right word).

I heard theres a Sound pack but it requires specific Maptweaks, thats weird.
Yes, there is a sound&texture pack but it doesn't require you to install anything but FHSW. It also works with the Tweak packs. I recommend this pack because everything sounds amazing with it. I couldn't play without it anymore. :D

Just listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cf5jprOhqU#t=13m28s

And i really hope someone jumps in and starts making some MP maps playable on Coop, really sucks to have less maps on each release, they've taken Iwo Day 1!!! IT WAS EPIC.
Sadly they won't make any coop maps in the near future because they still have a full server every day. So they put all their effort into new mp stuff. The FHSW community outside of Japan is too small, so it's not likely that anyone else will create coop support.

Get your fix of Eastern Front on the upcoming weekend! ;D



Important note: The FHSW Europ server uses now all offical map tweak packs that were released by the Japanese devs. dl link: http://trimr.de/15ia
Put the files from this pack (file ending ".rfa") into your FHSW levels folder: ..\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\FHSW\Archives\bf1942\levels
Select to overwrite old files when asked to.

Thanks to our community member mayer, we now have an installer for the map tweak pack: http://www.gamefront.com/files/21068681/fhsw_patch_1111.exe

A step by step guide on how to install FHSW can be found here: http://fhsw-europ.ucoz.de/forum/21-107-1

I'm sorry, I don't know on which maps they took the screenshots. The background of the shots with the T-28, T-28E and T-28/85 looks a lot like "Battle of Orel". For the other ones I have no idea. But I know that the map "Hailar" hasn't been added to the mod yet. I can't even find it in FH 0.7.  ???

News! :D
T-28 + multiple (rare) variants

Japanese: http://wbmuse.blog89.fc2.com/blog-entry-174.html
English: http://fhsw-europ.ucoz.de/publ/2011_12_04_t_28_and_variants_for_fhsw_0_5/1-1-0-12

It would be a nice tank for FH2 as well. ;)

Some first person footage from the FHSW event "Raid on Japan":

It might be a bit lengthy because I tried to cover every map.

Important note

The server uses now all the map tweak packs released by the Japanese devs. So make sure to download and install them before you join: http://www.gamefront.com/files/21068681/fhsw_patch_1111.exe (850 MB)

The map pack tweaks the balance on most maps but also adds new stuff to the mod: tracers for most cannons (tanks, ships...), supression effect for infantry, improved penetration system for tanks and other things that I couldn't translate. :P
