Doesn't look like it yet. EA's only link points to FilePlanet.

A clever use of bittorrent would be good :)

found 'em, installed 'em and had a look.

actually found out that our custom map maker and Admin, "Basic"
(www.basicsmaps.com), use to do map making with the folks that made
these.

Basic's "Bottleneck" map was a precursor (and in my opinion a lot
better) to the Remagen map that was released in this map pack. Remagen
isn't a bad map in Conquest but it's pathetic in CTF. In CTF, the Axis
have three spawns on the allied side of the river with nothing
indicating these spawns to the allies, no flags, nothing, and no way for
the allies to take these spawns. This map also has one of the best
structures i've seen in any battlefield map... there's this bridge
(which is kick ass by itself) with ends that have spiral staircases in
'em. You can go inside (three stories) and all the way to the bottom on
both bridge ends. Very cool, but wasted on this map. Would have been an
awesome addition to Basic's bottleneck map, which has a better layout
and proper spawning.

The Great Pursuit (CQ only map) is rather nice. It reminds me a lot of
Forgotten Hope. It has the T-34 heavy in it, always a plus in my book.
Otherwise, a nice map. It's layout is similar to Tobruk, only on a
Russian battlefield.

Operation Forager is somewhat like Basic's "Shima Senjou" map, which has
become quite popular in the custom map world. I liked Forager in both
CTF and CQ. Rather balanced and a lot of fun.

Faid is rather bland. Nothing really to it. A couple spawns, some tanks,
a battle in the desert. Blah.

That's my .02c.

:)

unfortunately, there seems to be very few people playing these new
maps, i'm trying to encourage them on the server with messages
popping up etc...

NB. the server sometimes plays secret weapons maps, as there is a
bit of a loyal following of people :)
roll on bf2 😉

Mind if I ask how you installed the mappack on your server? I've been
trying to get these maps installed on our server, but I keep getting the
dreaded "Data differs from server" message whenever I try to connect. FWIW,
our server is running on Linux, so merely running the install won't work
well 🙁

Thanks,
Skippy

that's probably a zip error.

first, make sure you rename the maps to all lower case, then use winzip
to zip the files up on your windows machine and "unzip" on the linux
machine to unzip.

if you don't have command line access, you'll need to upload the files
individually to ensure the data is ok. lower case is a must.

re: data differs from server error

switch off content checking in the config. It doesnt seem possible
to make these maps work on a pure server... I'm not sure if this is
standard for "community" maps, as previously i've only rotated the
official release maps

You're right, custom maps and mods will not work on a "Pure" server, you
have to run the server with content checking off.

Also, use striprfa on the .rfa files to strip out all the data that is
only required by the BF1942 client, it will reduce the file sizes
considerably:

Thanks all for the responses. I'll give it a shot.
