Hi all, how's it been? March break is here and I'm taking a short break from college to play some games.
Thought I might just stroll back here and host a little fun event while I'm around!
This is an open event, anyone can join. There's no competition, no raging, no egos and we all just play to have fun. I am hosting the server this evening, from
5:00 PM EST (22:00 GMT) to the same time tomorrow, March 5th.
No Anticheat.exe is required, however we ask everyone that joins to play cleanly (no bugs, glitches, you know the drill). Suspicious behavior will be closely watched. Please don't ruin it for others!
The only file needed is the Trap Town map, which you can download on ESS news archive page (or hit me up on Xfire for the ZIP file).
If you are having problems installing the map, follow these instructions (taken from the Read Me file of the Traptown Installer.zip):

- How to install
First make sure you have the Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons Demo installed. Then just use the 'Traptown Installer'
included (made by Manticore from elitesniperserver.com) and it should do all the work for you. Click the new desktop
icon or use the new start menu entry for 'Battlefield 1942 SW Demo - Traptown' to start the game and join a multiplayer
server running Traptown to play.
Due to the way the Secret Weapons Demo works, the installer has to create a 2nd copy of the game to let you play a
2nd level. If you want to play the standard Hellendoorn level you need to start the game in whatever way you normally do.
In the event that the installer does not work you can follow these instructions to manually install
1. Assuming that you installed the demo to the default location, navigate to 'C:\Program Files\EA Games' or
'C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games' for 64bit Windows.
2. Copy the folder called 'Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons of WWII Demo' and paste it into the same 'EA Games' folder.
3. Rename your new copy 'Battlefield 1942 SW Demo - Traptown'
4. Open up your new 'Battlefield 1942 SW Demo - Traptown' folder and right click the 'BF 1942' icon and choose the 'Send to'
menu and 'Desktop (Create Shortcut)'.
5. Right click your new icon on your desktop and rename it 'Traptown' or something similar.
6. Find the traptown package that you downloaded and open it. You should see a file called 'Traptown.map' inside.
Copy this file and paste it to the desktop. Right click it and choose 'Rename'. Delete the 'map' from the end of the
file name and replace with 'zip'.
7. You can now open 'Traptown.zip' file you just created. Copy the file 'lexiconall.dat' and paste it into the below folder.
Choose to overwrite the existing file when prompted.
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 1942 SW Demo - Traptown\Mods\XPack2 'Program Files (x86)' for 64bit Windows.
8. Copy the 'Loading.bik' file and paste into
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 1942 SW Demo - Traptown\Mods\XPack2\Movies 'Program Files (x86)' for 64bit Windows.
9. Copy the 'Hellendoorn_001.rfa' file and paste into
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 1942 SW Demo - Traptown\Mods\XPack2\Archives\Bf1942\Levels 'Program Files (x86)' for 64bit Windows.
10. You should now be done and be able to play the game by using the desktop icon you created in Steps 4 & 5.
Server IP is
24.201.216.238., and the server is called ''
Trap Town CTF Event''. See you guys there!
Note: There is room for up to 20 people! If this event goes well, we could kick-off a little CTF cup for 16 players some time later on.
I will be on Xfire during this time if you have any questions regarding the mod. My xfire is
