Dunno why, but I had the urge to create a Battlefield 1942 interface. I searched and couldn't find one already so to work I went.

I extracted the graphics from the BF1942 files and although the layout isn't a complete match, I did my best to keep the theme, even threw in a British soldier. You don't see the ping graphic in the picture as I was offline, but it's red with a white skull/crossbones on it. :)

I learnt 3 things making this mod.
1)If you want the health/vest/ammo/reload amount graphics vertical, you must make them horizontal and then rotate them 90 degrees in the maker.
2)The text ammo amount (100) is larger in the game than in the maker.
3)Using a display of 1600x1200 makes it really difficult to place the different graphics precisely. hehe :)

I made this for myself, but thought others might like it as well so here it is. :)

Looks nice. I think you could have done something with the score box though.

I did if you look carefully, sadly however, that image gets a separate transparency applied to it to make it partly see-thru. :(

What do you mean, whether or not you have to be a registered user to use the BF1942 interface?

Read the Soldat manual. ;-P

Thanks :)

The interface isn't coded for that as it's a 2D game and you can see if your soldier is standing/crouching/prone. :)

I stuck that man in as it looked better seeing as how I had to stretch the area with the ammo amount in it and it looked odd.
