Replace the files in your games folder with the files in the archive. Includes ability to host COOP and KOTH, as well as an alternate Startup.htm file so you can select from multiple lobbies.
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

A lot of programs that were built for the older games used the registry to find the game install paths. For many people (like steam users), these paths are sometimes missing or invalid. This program fixes those paths so you can use the old programs again.
This program requires Administrative privileges only because it needs access to write to your HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry. Newer operating systems do not allow users to add/modify these registry entries without Administrative approval.
Fixes:
- You can now protect a server while there are players in it.*
- Port detection is added, the correct port will be shown on the the lobby now.
Features:
- A start has been made to display the clients IP addresses, however, this isn't working yet.
- The "About" button is now enabled.
- The "Donate" button is now enabled.
- "ACP Only" / "All Players" enabled. This means you can make the server so everybody can play in it (All Players), or only players using Sigurd (ACP Only).
- Support for protecting multiple servers on 1 machine is now enabled. (See for example Sigurd Europe Servers - Currently running as of announcement of this topic.)
Improvements:
- Cosmetic improvements.
- Updated error messages.
- Improved internal source.
- Improved stability of the server.
- Now there will always be asked for confirmation when you want to exit the server (except on certain errors).
* If you start the server and protect the server while there are already players in it, these players will need to rejoin
to show up on the list with people who have Sigurd running. In the future this will improved, so players don't need to rejoin.
There are some issues left (and maybe some more internal), but these are planned for Sigurd Server 0.6 (Hopefully, our latest Beta of the server). These are those issues:
- Reconnect options, so you don't get the error that you lost connection with the Lobby.
- Fix the displaying of IP's.
- Display public Id's instead of private Id's.

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
