DC Extended 0.9 mod
=========================
Version 0.9
Last updated : 06/15/2005 @ 23:00 PST
Description
-----------
DC_Extended is an extension of Desert Combat for Battlefield 1942. It's
purpose is to add certain weapons that we 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.

have no idea where this is coming from.
Note: Hold down the Fire button for a few seconds when launching the
missile to make sure the engine properly engages.

- Added ContentCrc32.Con files to avoid multiplayer problems
Version 0.38d.4
- M-109 , M-1974 , MLRS , BM21 and SCUD are now single player driver/gunner
. This will prevent other people or bots from driving away with your arty
vehicle while you're trying to line up a shot.
- Fixed arty AI for single player driver/gunner
. A side effect of this change is that the bots are much more deadly with
the arty vehicles. They now have a much easier time lining up their shots.
- Reduced SCUD Azimuth settings.
. Since it's now single player driver/gunner the SCUD turret doesn't need
to turn as much.
- AC-130 can parachute Humvees.
. Position #6 (Loadmaster) can still operate the rear doors. He'll also have
2 humvees available to drop out the back. As soon as the Humvees appear
3 parachutes will deploy to slow it down. The Humvee is on a cargo rack.
If you can reach the Humvee before it touches the ground you can get in
and drive away. Be careful, you can drive it off the rack before it reaches
the ground.
Version 0.38d.3
- Fixed Helicopter AI routines for Apache, Hind and Blackhawk
- Removed SA-3 , SA-9 and single player arty from previous version

changes

- Added SA-3 to El Alamein (it's parked near the Shilka)
- Adjusted rotation of SCUD rocket ramp
- Added Medical and ammo supply to BlackHawk
- Converted M-1974 to single player.
. A single player drives and mans the gun. It used to have a seperate
gunner and driver.
- Converted M-109 to 2 players.
. One player drives and shoots the main gun. The other player mans the
top mounted machine gun. It used to have a driver, main gunner and
machine gunner.
- Converted SCUD to single player.
. A single player drives the SCUD vehicle and fires the rockets. It
used to be that the driver and rocket operator were seperate.
- Converted MLRS to single player.
. A single player drives the MLRS vehicle and fires the rockets. It
used to be that the driver and rocket operator were seperate.
- Converted BM21 to single player.
. A single player drives the BM21 vehicle and fires the rockets. It
used to be that the driver and rocket operator were seperate.
- Converted SA-3 to single player.
. A single player drives the SA-3 vehicle and fires the rockets. It

Version 0.38d.1
- SCUD no longer has "heat" on secondary fire
- SCUD launcher can turn on azimuth for easier targeting
- Added left side gunner to blackhawk
Version 0.35e.3
- Added MOAB to AC-130
. Currently the MOAB is carried under the belly. Eventually it will be dropped
out of the rear ramp. Currently the pilot fires the MOAB with the secondary
fire button. Calling in artillery has been disabled. It will be re-enabled when
the ramp operator will be the one to launch the MOAB.
There's only 1 MOAB per AC-130 so use it well.
You have to land to get another one. The MOAB is the most powerful weapon in the
game. It's only half as powerful as the scud but has 4 times the blast radius.
This is because in real life MOABs aren't as powerful against armor but the
blast radius is huge! Be very careful when using it.
- Added SA-3 "Goa"
. The SA-3 is a SAM launcher. Currently it looks exactly like the BM21. It will launch
up to 4 SAMs before it has to reload. Each SAM has a proxy sensor so it will detonate
when it gets near an enemy. A direct hit is not necessary.
- Added SA-9 "Gaskin"
. The SA-9 is a SAM launcher. Currently it looks exactly like the BRDM2 Spandrel. This
is because a real SA-9 "Gaskin" looks very close to the BRDM2. A real SA-9 has only
4 rockets but the Spandrel has 5 rocket tubes so we made the SA-9 launch 5 rockets.
The SA-9 rockets are currently the same as the SA-3 rockets. This could change in
the near future.
- Added Radar to Apache. AH-64A Apache now becomes AH-64D Apache "Longbow"
- Added SA-9 to El_Alamein map (it's parked to the right of the Shilka)
- Added SA-9 to DC_Air_Gazala (it's parked to the left of the shilka)

FAQ
---
Q: What's the purpose of this mod?
A: To add some extra features to DC to make it just a bit more fun. This is not a full BF1942
modification. It's an add-on to the Desert Combat modification for BF1942.
Q: Where did this mod originate?
A: My friends and we were playing DC and took a break. We talked about how cool certain
features or weapons would be if they were added to DC. So from there we did some
research and started working on ways to extend DC's capabilities.
Q: Do we need to install Desert Combat again or another copy of it?
A: No. DC_Extended is an extension to your current installation of Desert Combat
Q: Will this affect my current Desert Combat install?
A: No. DC_Extended is a new mod on it's own.
Q: Are there any new models?
A: No. we don't have tools to do 3D models and we don't want to learn either. All
the changes are done through coding of the .CON files.
Q: Are you part of the DC team?
A: No. I'm simply a DC fan who likes to hack the DC files.
Q: Do your changes affect game balance?
A: Yes they do. But we try to do other changes to compensate.
Q: Which maps have been enhanced for DC_Extended?
A: In the maplist just look for a red "DCX" icon to the left of the map name. These indicate maps that were altered for DC_Extended in some way.
Q: What will happen when the next version of DC comes out?
A: DC_Extended should still work but I'll be bringing it up to date to follow suit.
Q: How do we find online servers that run DC_Extended?
A: DC_Extended now has it's own icon next to the server name. Look for a red "DCX" icon in the server listing.
You can also also use the filter on the upper right to select the "DC_Extended" mod to see only "DCX"
servers listed.
Q: Are there public servers to play online?
A: Check our website at http://www.dcxtended.com for a list of recommended servers.
Q: Can we request my own modifications?
A: Sure you can. we reserve the right to implement the modification or not to.
Q: How do we get in touch with you?
A: Go to our website at http://www.dcxtended.com and contact any of the administrators
or use the forums to get in touch with use. We visit the site daily and try to answer any
questions that people may have.
Q: Who is on the DC_Extended Team?
A: There's no "DC_Extended" team per se. DC_Extended has evolved into a community project to
improve upon the already great BF1942 modification Desert Combat. Many people have contributed
to the project already and DC_Extended is always open to anyone who wants to contribute.
Contributors thus far have been aknowledged in the credits section (see below).
Q: Why are you so cool?
A: I'm not and we don't like brown-nosing. Just enjoy the mod and if you like it a simple
thank you will put a smile on my face.
