Allows you to extrach and edit files within the *.pff files!

This utility will pack game files into the pff files for all versions of Delta Force (including the BHD Demo) and Commanche 4. It works with all versions of Windows.

The program can be used one of two ways:
You can drag your file(s) directly onto the packit icon in your DF folder or you can run the program and drag files onto it that way. Select the DF version when the program is running, it will remain that way next time you open it. It also offers the option to "Force" files to pack when they are already in the pff file and need to be overwritten. A dialog box tells you how many of your files were successfully packed.

We recommend keeping a copy in each DF folder. Packit must be in the DF folder to work correctly.

This utility allows you to extract files (Such as maps) from pff files. It is also handy to get rid of stock maps when hosting.

Choose from fog colors in the DF Mission Editer!

French Texts for Black Hawk Down and Team Sabre

Some versions of the game translated into other languages have become inaccessible and have not been updated to the latest version.
With a little manipulation you can change the language by replacing some files and get a good result.
As I am lucky to still have access to this version of the game, I was able to extract the original french texts and update them to be compatible with Team Sabre and not have invisible text.
Team Sabre does not seem to contain a version in french, so I myself translated the missions of the extension except for the mission briefings that appear when loading before the mission begins.
As these are images (.pcx files) it is more complicated to replace the original text with translated text.

Installation for Black Hawk Down and Team Sabre:
Before any manipulation make a copy of your game folder in order to keep the original and be able to go back in case of problem!
To install the texts, you have three solutions.
1.
- Put all the .bin and .pcx files into the game folder
- Create a shortcut of dfbhd.exe
- Right clic on the shortcut and go to Properties
- At the end of the "Target" line write /d with a space in front of it, clic on Apply and OK then test

2.
- Replace the .bin and .pcx files into the files localres.pff (for Black Hawk Down) and EXP1.pff (for Team Sabre), you need a PFF editor to edit this file

3.
You will need a PFF editor
- Create a custom .pff file, name it with a simple name (for example French.pff) then place it in the "mod" folder located in the game folder (create it if it does not exist).
- Put all the .bin and .pcx files inside the .pff file
- Create a shortcut of dfbhd.exe
- Right clic on the shortcut and go to Properties
- At the end of the "Target" line write /mod NameOfYourMod with a space in front of it (ex : "C:..dfbhd.exe" /mod French), clic on Apply and OK then test


Notes:
- The text file of Black Hawk Down for Med software has not been translated.
- You can find the text of the mission briefing of the loading screen also in the game by pressing the "G" key, This text has been translated.
- The mission 7 of Team Sabre contained practically no text for the mission briefing. However the text of the loading screen was complete, as it is the same information I therefore copied all the content and do a translation job to get a complete description in this mission.
- The mission 10 had differences between the game text and the loading screen. The briefing in the game seemed to have some errors and not very complete, so I made a mixed of the two texts to have more complete information in the mission.

Textes Français pour Black Hawk Down et Team Sabre

Certaines versions du jeu traduites dans d'autres langues sont devenues inaccessibles et n'ont pas été mis à jour à la dernière version.
Avec un peu de manipulation vous pouvez modifier la langue en remplaçant certains fichiers et obtenir un bon résultat.
Comme j'ai la chance d'avoir encore accès à cette version du jeu, j'ai pu extraire les textes originaux et les mettre à jour afin qu'ils soient compatibles avec Team Sabre et ne pas avoir de texte invisible.
Team Sabre ne semble pas contenir de version en français, j'ai donc moi-même traduit les missions de l'extension à l'exception des briefings de mission qui s'affichent lors du chargement avant que la mission commence.
Comme ce sont des images (fichiers .pcx) il est plus compliqué de remplacer le texte original par un texte traduit.

Installation pour Black Hawk Down et Team Sabre :
Avant toute manipulation faites une copie du dossier de votre jeu afin de garder l'original et pouvoir retourner en arrière en cas de problème !
Pour installer les textes, vous avez trois solutions.
1.
- Mettez tous les fichiers .bin et .pcx dans le dossier du jeu
- Créez un raccourci de dfbhd.exe
- Faites un clic droit sur le raccourci et allez dans Propriétés
- À la fin de la ligne de "Cible" écrivez /d avec un espace devant, cliquez sur Appliquer et OK puis testez

2.
- Remplacez les fichiers .bin et .pcx dans les fichiers localres.pff (pour Black Hawk Down) et EXP1.pff (pour Team Sabre), vous aurez besoin d'un éditeur PFF pour éditer ces fichiers

3.
Il vous faudra un éditeur PFF
- Créez un fichier .pff personnalisé, nommez le avec un nom simple (par exemple French.pff) puis placez-le dans le dossier "mod" situé dans le dossier du jeu (créez le si il n'existe pas).
- Mettez tous les fichiers .bin et .pcx à l'intérieur du fichier .pff
- Créez un raccourci de dfbhd.exe
- Faites un clic droit sur le raccourci et allez dans Propriétés
- À la fin de la ligne de "Cible" écrivez /mod NomDeVotreMod avec un espace devant (ex : "C:..dfbhd.exe" /mod French), cliquez sur Appliquer et OK puis testez


Notes :
- Le fichier texte de Black Hawk Down pour le logiciel Med n'a pas été traduit.
- Vous pouvez retrouver le texte du briefing de mission de l'écran de chargement aussi dans le jeu en appuyant sur la touche "G", celui-ci a pu être traduit.
- La mission 7 de Team Sabre ne contenait pratiquement aucun texte pour le briefing de la mission. Celui de l'écran de chargement était complet, comme ce sont les mêmes informations j'ai donc copié tout le contenu et fais un travail de traduction afin d'obtenir une description complète dans cette mission.
- La mission 10 avait des différences entre le texte du jeu et de l'écran de chargement. Celui du jeu semblait avoir quelques erreurs et peu complet, j'ai donc fait un mixte des deux textes pour avoir des informations plus complètes dans la mission.

NW Authenticator allows you to host LW/TFD/BHD/C4 even when NovaWorld is down. If you get an "Unable to host a Session" message when trying to host a game, most likely NovaWorld is down and another method to authenticate your game will be required. Open this tool before loading your game and it will attempt to locally authenticate your games session. If you get an "Unable to Host a Session" message when hosting, this is what you need.

Your game will still appear on NovaWorld. Please ask for help in the forums if it does not work for you.

This program makes it very easy to remove the border of an application/game in Windows 10. Watch the YouTube video for help on using this program.
