For NovaLogic Games.

Includes:
BDC1Dumper.exe
BFC1Extractor.exe
CPT_PLYDumper.exe
CTP_CDEP_Stripper.exe

CPT DepthMap Stripper:
This program is a self contained program does not need the game in anyway.
To use it you have to extract the CPT files from the resource.pff file.
Then you run the Stripper program. Select any CPT file or even all the CPT files at once.
It will create .raw files based off the name of the CPT.
For example Dvxc1.cpt would make a file called Dvxc1.raw in the same directory as the CPT file.

You can open these with Photoshop.
If you do it will pop up with a screen requesting info. This is the info you need to put.
The dimensions are 1024x1024 Count 2 and interleaved.

A.Bullet found out that you can edit the JO CPT files and replace the CDEP section with the Raw file dumped..
So with a hex editor open the CPT file. Then create a new file..
COPY from the start of the program down to CDEP. Paste it into your new file.
If you copied the CDEP name as well just rename it to DPTH.
If you didn’t press the Insert Key and type in DPTH at the bottom of your new file.
Next open the RAW file with the hex editor press CTRL+A then CTRL+C that will select all and copy.
Then go back to the new file go to the very bottom and press CTRL+V that will past the raw file to
the bottom of the new file.
Now go back to the CPT file and search for the word POLY.
Now copy including the POLY to the very bottom of the file and the paste it to the very bottom of your new file.
Now save the New file as the CPT name you want. This will make it so that BHD or even the BHD med can read it.

CPT Poly Dumper:
This is not a self contained program it requires JO version 1.2.0.10 to work.
This is a loader so you need to place the exe and the DLL into the same folder as the game.
Then you have to run it by the exe that is in the zip.
It will dump the Poly Map of CPT of the map you load in the game. It will dump it to C:RawDumps

You can open these with Photoshop.
If you do it will pop up with a screen requesting info. This is the info you need to put.
The dimensions are 1024x1024 Count 4 and interleaved.

Right now I don’t have a converter to put the poly maps back to how they can be read by the game.
Maybe someone else can figure that out or give me time.
Or maybe the game can use raw poly maps and maybe poly needs to be renamed to something not sure yet.

BFC1 Dumper:
This is not a self contained program it requires JO version 1.2.0.10 to work.
This is a loader so you need to place the exe and the DLL into the same folder as the game.
Then you have to run it by the exe that is in the zip.
It will dump all image base compressed files in the map you load. DDS, MDT, TGA, ECT.
It will dump it to C:TGADumps

This also includes the Color Maps and the tiles that the med can use

Excellent HTML/Flash based object viewing tool. Includes all terrains, almost all objects, buildings, vehicles, people, tunnel sections, oil rig components, skies, ~300 z- values for stacking, and a real time color picker for fog which gives RGB and Hex color values. Very useful! Includes installer and uninstaller.

This will allow you to create custom terrains for Black Hawk Down. Visit dfarena.com forums for help & support with this tool

Team Sabre Operations is an enhancement mod for Delta Force Black Hawk Down and its Team Sabre expansion. It's meant to fix and improve the stock game's data, sounds, art style and gameplay. It also provides additional content for map makers in order to expand the original experience.

Main features of Delta Force: Team Sabre Operations:
- Custom installer for easier mod installation (a proper installation of DFBHD/TS is required); mod files do not override any of the stock game files, they are separate to ensure that the original DFBHD/TS game and its multiplayer are intact.
- Included a brand new version of Baldo_the_Don's Weapon Sights mod, with much rebalanced stats for weapons, ammo and items in order to increase realism.
- Added more than 150 new items (vehicles, decorations, buildings) for map makers, mainly converted from Comanche 4, reworked with better textures and/or sounds and data.
- Added more than 180 different terrains for map makers, all of the terrains from DF1/DF2/DFLW/DFTFD/DFX/DFX2/JO/JOE have been ported and reworked for the DFBHD game engine.
- Made better looking skins for vehicles, weapons, plants, terrains, buildings (using nicer textures from DFBHD's beta version), soldiers (Rangers in the second Team Sabre mission in Colombia finally get woodland camo, etc.).
- Fixed most of the annoying bugs and glitches in single-player missions (any misplaced objects in Team Sabre's campaign missions are removed, missing sounds and/or wrong voiceovers are corrected, fixed broken or missing triggers in some missions).
- Added an M14 by re-using the M21's 3d model, with both weapons using unique skins, sounds and animations.
- Added MK 23 suppressed pistol converted from Joint Operations (Team Sabre for the PS2 featured this weapon).
- Added AWM aka L115A1 sniper rifle converted from Joint Operations (Team Sabre for the PS2 featured this weapon).
- Added unsuppressed MP5A3 submachine gun converted from Joint Operations.
- Replaced suppressed MP5A3's 3d model with a better one converted from Joint Operations.
- Added different and better animations from later NovaLogic's games in place of stock ones, thus improving the reloading animations of some weapons.
- Added a large array of different sounds to give each weapon more unique sounds (for instance, each light machine gun uses its own reloading sound, like in NovaLogic's Joint Operations).
- Added a playable version of the Weapons Range South mission, included but inactive in stock DFBHD.
- Added fixed and/or new 3d models for missing items (the original Team Sabre expansion lists many map items, some totally missing); what the Mission Editor shows is now available, any missing .3di models have been removed and/or replaced.
- Added slight health regeneration system for small wounds, given engine limitations.
- Restored cut in-game voiceovers for some single player missions, now they feature more dialogue.
- Restored DFBHD main menu music in place of the one from the Team Sabre expansion.
- Restored buttons in the Credits screen for viewing DFBHD's Irene and Ending videos.
- Reworked HUD and UI elements, menu screens now using reworked textures based on the ones from the beta version of DFBHD.
- Reworked animations and behavior of NPCs so that they are more realistic; AI will no longer open fire while moving with a lowered weapon.
- Reworked fog and sky colors for some missions in order to increase variety.
- Fixed several grammar errors and misspelled words in the game's localization.
- Reworked briefing data and loading images of missions for more quality and consistency.
- Given brand new custom names to the Team Sabre campaigns and their missions.
- Fully converted all additional multiplayer maps from the Xbox version of the game; 13 Deathmatch maps (Arena, Boot Camp, Boot Camp X, Burn, Minefield, Park, Site, Trenches, Tunnel, Courtyard, Crash X, Dock X, Island X) and 1 Team Deathmatch map (Siege).
- Added Team Deathmatch maps converted from the beta demos of the game and using beta assets included in the mod (TDMBD_01 and TDMBD_04 from beta v0.0.1 named City Limits A and City Limits B, TDMM_01c and TDMM_01d from beta v0.0.3 named Night Limits A and Night Limits B).
- Fixed all stock King of the Hill BHD maps not having a proper name (KOTH was not part of the original game, maps existed for it but they were using the internal filenames, now they are named like their other game modes' counterparts).
- Removed TKHR_04 map from Team King of the Hill (it was included by mistake by the Team Sabre expansion, it's an older duplicate of Oil Island).
- Fixed all TS multiplayer maps not having a proper name (TKHR_ts02 has been renamed arbitrarily to Jungle Town as no official name exists for it).
- Fixed TS Flag Ball maps having incorrect names (B versions were still named A, for instance Oil Island B appeared as Oil Island A).
- Fixed duplicate TKHR_ts02 map in Team King of the Hill (the duplicate was meant to appear in Team Deathmatch, now it is so).
- Created B versions of the Ruination and TKHR_ts02 (now called Jungle Town) maps; fixed flag colors in the Capture the Flag and Flag Ball game modes.
- Included NovaHQ Heartbeat DLL (Alternate Lobby Reporting DLL) to offer basic multiplayer support.
- Included SuiMachine's wrapper to override FOV and 1280x1024 resolution with custom values.
