DC Extended ...

http://www.bf1942clanrankings.com/DCX/


The Author of the Desert Combat Mini-Mod, DC_Extended has released a new version, DCX.4j.1. This new version is fully DC4 compatible and comes with a slew of new enhancements. Here is a bit from the author:

The big story is that DC_Extended now works with DC 0.4J. Handweapons , vehicles etc. It also has conversions of all the new Desert Combat .4J maps. All "DC" maps now have "DCX" vehicles and are fully supported by DC_Extended. We've also added support for the DCTextures mod. Although DC_Extended has it's own theme and map based skin switching, many people requested that DC_Extended be compatible with DCTextures to avoid duplicating files in DC_Extended folders.

P.S. .... Works in singleplayer/coop modes ..... All maps.

The website looks interesting, but it doesn't seem to have a page explaining what the purpose of the Mod is. It seems to add stuff to DC, but I couldn't figure out what stuff it was.

Any ideas?

DC Extended DC 0.4J mods
=========================

Version 0.4J.1

Description
-----------

DC_Extended is an extension of Desert Combat for Battlefield 1942. It's
purpose is to add certain weapons that I feel would make the game more fun to play,
modify existing weapons to compensate for minor annoyances and to modify certain
official maps to take advantage of the new weapons.

The idea is that using existing models and program code from Desert Combat you
can tweak things here and there to make it a little more fun to play.

DC_Extended also provides the ability to use the modified vehicles and standard vehicles
on the same map at the same time. Only certain maps will have this ability when all the map changes
are complete.

Since the release of DC 0.39k, DC_Extended also addresses a lot of balance issues that were
introduced with 0.39k. The damage system for most weapons has been overhauled to be more fun to
play with.

Highlights
----------

These are the simple highlights of what DC_Extended adds to Desert Combat

- Player guided SCUD missile
- SAM sites
- Mobile SAM truck
- M.O.A.B.
- Parachuting Desert Patrol Vehicles
- More guns on Blackhawk
- Ural ammo supply truck. Also lays minefields.
- Destroyer launches guided Tomahawks and gets a helipad with a Seahawk
- Seahawk has defensive flares and drops guided torpedoes
- Phalanx guns on ships
- Ural tanker "suicide" bomb
- Artillery modifications to prevent "stealing" by other players
- Sub fires Guided Tomahawk and Guided Torpedoes and carries Navy seals
