Okay, i have detailed informations about battle for Rostov between Slovaks and USSR and i´m looking for another.

[Grundlinger]

Here are Slovakian WW2 flags: used in 1938-1939 http://nd01.jxs.cz/361/087/c7b0dd6a36_39542015_o2.gif
Slovakian war flag used in 1939-1945 http://lexikon-foto.euweb.cz/flags/slovensky-stat-vojnova.png
Hlinka´s guard flag 1939-1945 http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/images/s/sk%5Ehgk.gif

I looked into archives of Slovakian units and i found Slovakian paratroopers http://collect-helmets.snadno.eu/pics/SlovakPara-5.jpg, http://collect-helmets.snadno.eu/pics/SlovakPara-4.jpg, they used german M38 helmets. They took part in battles near villages Gajdel, Jasenovo, Svaty Kriz, along railway Zvolen - Kremnica [Zvolen is city of my born  ]. Slovakian paratroopers were trained in German paratroopers schools, only night operations and jumps were trained in Slovakia at Sliac and Slovakian Air Force University in Kosice.

Thank you very much!

Please have some patience - I don´t know when we will able to implement the slovaks, because ther is a lot of other things to do. Apart from that, we still would need proper uniform textures. Maybe you already want to start to create maps for them, using placeholder vehicles/armys?

[Grundlinger]

I found some pictures about Battle of Lipovec in 1941. I can start to create maps for Slovaks, just post me link of program to create it. I have original anthology of Battlefield 1942 but there is no editor in files.

[SargeSurfat]

You will need:

Battlecraft Editor: http://www.gamefront.com/files/2421324/Battlecraft-1942-Map-Editor-v2.1/

Battlegroup42 config files for Battlecraft: http://www.battlegroup42.de/Downloads-Battlegroupzweiundvierzig-Battlecraft-files-for-eins-sieben-view-12.html

Battlefield Mod Development Toolkit 2.75 (at least for browesing rfa files, unpack and repack them): http://bfmods.com/mdt/

Battlecraft basic tutorial: http://www.fizzynet.net/Battlecraft_1942_v2.1_tutorial.htm

Ground texture tutorial: http://www.tfcmaster.net/tutorials/BattleCraft/textures/index.htm

If you need further help, don´t hesitate to ask.

Thanks Sarge i have downloaded these files and i look tutorials did you post, but i don't understand to ground texture tutorial because my english it´s not good. Creating maps can´t be a problem because it´s very similar with creating maps for Panzers phase two, but little harder . About Battlegroup 1.7 files for Battlecraft, i have to copy them into main folder of Battlecraft or not?

About Battlegroup 1.7 files for Battlecraft, i have to copy them into main folder of Battlecraft or not?

Yes, and make sure that the paths in the cfg file point to the correct directory.

[Grundlinger]

I have problem, i can create map only for Bf1942 not for BG42, if i select "Create level", then i have table with selecting a mode and there are 2 mods Bf1942 and BG42, if i select Bf1942 everything runs but if i select BG42 then Battlecraft editor not works and my PC is crashed or restarting. I have to try reinstal Battlecraft editor but whitout efect 

[SargeSurfat]

Please check the battlegroup42.cfg file. The first entry there should point to your Battlefield installation, for example:

[Editor Paths]
GamePath= C:\EA Games\Battlefield 1942\

or wherever your game is installed. Maybe that would solve the problem.

[Grundlinger]

I reinstall it but without effect. Then i reinstall Bf1942 game and BG42 mode and install it again and then install Battlecraft but nothing changed Program still doesn´t work. But i look into archives of ASR (Army of Slovak republic) and i found map of Lipovec from 1939, but map is very dirty and unreadable, i can repaint the map and send it to you.

[SargeSurfat]

I guess you didn´t understood me.

Open your Battlecraft installation folder. Check if there are two files:

1. battlegroup42.lst

2. battlegroup42.cfg

Open the last one with a plain text editor. There MUSST be the correct path of your Battlefield installation, for example:

[Editor Paths]
GamePath= C:\EA Games\Battlefield 1942\

or wherever your game is installed. Please check that. No reinstallation necessary.

Btw.: Is ASR a BF1942 mod? If so, can you make available the whole thing? Can´t find any download link.

[Grundlinger]

Yes, battlegroup42.lst is missed file. No ASR is not mod for BF1942 there are archives of Army of Slovak Republic. I have family meber in Slovakian army.

[SargeSurfat]

Ok. So Battlecraft now is working?

[Grundlinger]

No, i found .lst files, install Battlcraft to D:/Program files/EA games/Battlefield 1942, copy bg42 battlecraft files, but still not working. I start Battlecraft editor, click on create level, chose mode battlegroup 42 and then i have error: program doesn´t work and will be closed.  I don´t know what is wrong.

[SargeSurfat]

You don´t have to install Battlecraft into the Battlefield game directory, install it independly. What about the battlegroup42.cfg file? It has to be in the Battlecraft main directory as well. Open it with a text editor and make sure the game path included matches yours.
