Tis the great.  I have 2 servers up on ph33r.  Had to sorta hack what we had to get it working, Origin downloaded to ph33r, game grabbed and BFSM added, worked nicely.

PS Luc, IS82 works.......

What version are you using, and what directory is it being installed to? Going to grab it now. Copy the full line; http://www.fileplanet.com/146785/download/Desert-Combat-Final-Client-[Full]

Got it working!!!

I wasnt installing it to the right directory.

Ah the memories!!!!!


Instructions.
Install desert combat 0.7 to origin games/battlefield 1942

Install desert combat final to origin games/battlefield 1942/mods

And some people found that you also need to install desert combat final to origin games/battlefield 1942 as well as the mods folder, just run the installer twice, once to each directory

Will be SSM'ing our server this evening to include a hape of extra planes in the following maps :

El Alemain
Battle Of Britain
Gazala
Bocage

To start with at least.  Few of us have been playing 24/7 Battle of Britain server there and the games have been fun.
