Single player console commands for DF2

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.

App Fix: This will install an application fix that will remove the low swap file warning message, as well as remove the borders from the game.

VON Fix: If you freeze while joining a game, you need to replace your Dflw.exe with the one in the VonFix folder.

Startup Fix: If you cannot connect to the NovaWorld lobby, or don't want to login to play, overwrite your Startup.htm with the one in the Startup Fix folder.

This is a HOST ONLY program to force your game to cycle to the next coop mission. It uses an XML mission list that has all the stock missions already loaded. If you have custom mission files packed into your PFF file you can add them to the XML file and it will cycle in the order of the missions in the file. All you need to do is start this along side your game at any time and keep it running. If you are looking for the client, go here: http://novahq.net/files.php?ID=577.

Clients can still play in your server without the client fix, they will just have to rejoin after every mission.

For this to work, the host should not hit enter at the end of the mission. It will automatically cycle to the next mission in ~30 seconds.

This download includes ALL the fully patched files needed to host and join servers using the official NovaWorld lobby. You do not need any other patches to play or host games on NovaWorld.

After you have a fully updated game, replace all files in your game folder with the files in the archive. That's all you need to do. This includes the new Startup.htm files!

This patch includes the DF2 "Unfreeze" or "Freeze Fix" patch. When your game freezes, press the INSERT key on your keyboard and the game should resume as normal. No more having to exit out and restart your DF2 game!

*** NOW WORKS WITH THE 32 PLAYER PATCH ***

These DLL files replace a couple files in your games folder. THEY WILL NOT AFFECT GAME PLAY IN ANY WAY AND WORK WITH ALL MODS. What they will do is report your games online status when you are hosting a "NovaWorld" game session to two alternate lobbies http://nw.novahq.net and http://novaworld.cc. These lobbies allow any player to join any game without the need to login or create an account on NovaWorld. These files DO NOT AFFECT anything else. Your game will still show up in the official lobby like normal.

These DLL files can also be used to create your own game lobby or server status for your website. PHP example scripts are included. You may use this information to display your server status or even create your own game lobby for your team to join through.

Download the archive, find your game version and replace the files in your games folder with the ones in the archive. It's super simple and automatic. There is nothing else to configure or install (but please read the *.ini file). You can use these files to host as many games as you want. You can view your games online status at the NovaHQ Alternate Lobby or Novaworld.cc Alternate Lobby
