Topic: That other SW-mod on that other BF-Game

Calling all of the old devs and community members of Galactic Conquest for Battlefield 1942!
We, the community over here at bf-games.net, are planning to start an event featuring Galactic Conquest.
We think about to split it to 2 dates:

Date 1 would be a GC "Vanilla" event with all the mod-delivered maps.

For date 2 we want to play some of the hidden pearls, that many of you created back in the good old times. I'm speaking of all the Custom Maps, that were around. No matter, if released or not, I want to kindly ask you, if you could share your forgotten projects with us, so we can test them and put the best of them into our map-rotation.

I know, there also was a official mapping contest and that special mappack, which was bundled with the winning maps. I need a download-location for THAT mappack.

So, if you think, you can help us, pm me here at the FS-Board or head over to bf-games.net and find our organisations-thread http://www.bf-games.net/forum/index.php … 2&st=0
Notice: As long we are a german speaking community you'll find most of the forums in german, but we will do our best to conversate in english if it's necessary.
What we will do with your maps/mappacks:
We look through all of them and picking some of them for our Custom Map event and put them in an unique Mappack. If the community response is positive, we could imagine, to set the event as a regular event, featuring all playable maps we can gather.

So, if you think you've got something for us, let us know!
We're wating for you.

With best regards,
Com.Sordan

I have the GC Mini map pack somewhere on my hdd, but it should also still be downloadable from fileplanet.

Re: That other SW-mod on that other BF-Game

I want to thank you for your fast response, but the mini-maps you posted and a few more are allready included in GC 5.3 smile

for the other maps on your link:
I've allready found that archive but most of it is allready included in 5.3 OR is made for some older versions of Galactic Conquest. We need maps that work with the latest version. Otherwise we have to convert them, what means a lot of work to us.

Re: That other SW-mod on that other BF-Game

Sounds fun, but I don't think there are any Galactic Conquest devs left on the team. Still some of them may pop by and spot this and see what they can do to help you out.

[EDIT:] Oh, Neko's on the case.

Re: That other SW-mod on that other BF-Game

If i could get that Mapping Contest mappack at least... It's actually really hard to get files from back then. The old GC forums are down and searching for "Galactic Conquest mappack" only resulted into the discovery of a SW: Empire at War mod using the same name.
I'm aware, that the old devs won't check in here very often, but i've seen some of them and the old community members around.
So i hope if somebody knows a little something from someone that did something back then, he'll respond to that thread.
For a little spark of that old glory that mod had once smile

what are you talking about? i'm still very much here tongue unfortunately i don't have the mapping contest pack.

Re: That other SW-mod on that other BF-Game

I'd be interested in playing this GC event, it would also be a good time to reinstall BF1942 and play that as well.
I'll be keeping my eye on this. smile
