(The folder "1.43Collection" should appear in your "Mods" folder.)

The basic features of the former Mod Collection releases were unchanged:

- Blood FX

- Smoke dischargers for certain vehicles (projectiles can also damage tanks). Bazooka/Panzerschreck also with smoke effects.

- Hand weapons and infantry kits were edited, ammo loads adjusted, inventories edited;

Recruit Snyder's Anthology 1.0

This Addon requires:

1. BF 42 1.6 (official patch)

2. Road to Rome Expansion Pack by EA/DICE

3. Secret Weapons of WWII Expansion Pack by EA/DICE

or the WW2 Anthology by EA/DICE (which consists of 1, 2 and 3) )

It includes all previously released Addons to the Mod Collection 1.2 and RtR 1.3 - Gazala Update, SpecOps Addon, BonusPack, Dirty Weapons Pack, 1.41 Update, 1.43 BoB Update and the Mod Collection PLUS 1.6.

It will NOT work with the default BF1942 game or with just one of the official Addons.

Map support: The Anthology 1.0 supports 39 maps (38 COOP/Conquest maps plus the Liberation of Caen map only in Conquest mode). Please note that the Raid on Agheila map is NOT supported although it has the yellow "S" icon in the custom game menu.

The following custom maps are supported (download NOT included, you should download the respective maps and install them for default BF42):

- Karst by amaccann

- Rostov by amaccann

- AGM_Tundra by Augustus REMOVED

- LD_Point_du_Hoc by Cpl. Reynolds/Longest Day Custom Mapping

- LD_Omaha_Day1 by Cpl. Reynolds/Longest Day Custom Mapping

- Wintersturm by Baradein (NOTE: This is a SW only map, install the basic map to your Xpack2 folder)

- Operation Aberdeen by DICE, free MP only map, now with bot support.

- Battle of Britain by DICE, free MP/SP map, with special vehicle setup now.

Please note that those custom maps will show up in your map list but they will crash while loading if you didn't install them to your default BF42 game! Do not install the maps to the "1.43Collection" mod folder. They are meant for vanilla BF42 (or SW), the Anthology 1.0 just offers "support" so you can play them with either BF42, SW or the Anthology 1.0.

INSTALLATION

Delete all previous Mod Collection installs.

Select this Mod in the Custom Game menu ("Anthology") and thereafter choose Singleplayer or Multiplayer. I recommend playing "Multiplayer/COOP" instead of Singleplayer.

NETWORKING: You have to disable Content Check in the Dedicated Server menu ("Advanced"). You will find a maplist containing all 39 maps in the "Settings" folder of the Anthology. Please note that the default DICE server manager may not display all maps in all modes - Black Bag Ops works fine.

Multiplayer mode was tested on Dice Dedicated Server 1.6 (Windows).
