Community Update #43

Map Contest - We have our winners! It took longer than we anticipated to get through all 130+ submissions for the map contest. The quantity and quality meant we had to take extra care that we selected maps which combined gameplay and visual quality. We'll be contacting the winners first, and then we'll make our public announcement. The turnout for the map contest was exceptional and everyone should be proud of their efforts. Questions for DICE? So, it's been a long-time in the works, but now here's your chance to ask DICE directly about Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam. Here's a chance to get your mod questions answered! Please send any question you have about either Battlefield game to Mod Questions. We'll post responses to your questions in future community updates.

Mod News Lot's of questions are being asked about the differences between Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam as far as modders are concerned. We've taken a moment to put together a small FAQ to answer the major questions. More detailed information will follow.... Q: Has the CON file format changed? A: The addition of shader manipulation abilities in the .rs files is probably one of the biggest changes. Other than that, some additional lines were added for new functionality, like airlifiting and the new helicopter.

Q: What are some of the new things modders will be able to use in BFV? A: Two of the most exciting visual additions is normal mapping on objects and new under/overgrowth system. Neither of these is required in BFV...but adding them will increase the visual impact of your mods.

Q: What is this new undergrowth and overgrowth system? A: Essentially, it's just two new material maps you add to populate your map with objects. It's used for both outdoors for trees and bushes and indoors with crates, chairs, etc.

Q: Will DICE and EA be releasing mod tools for Battlefield Vietnam? A: Yes, BFV will ship in the box with Battlecraft Vietnam, an updated map editor, and an updated Mod Development Toolkit.
