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).

This is a CLIENT SIDE ONLY program to force your game to cycle to the next coop mission with the host. DO NOT use this on your host server, this is a client only program. 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 host tool, go here: http://novahq.net/files.php?ID=579

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.

*** ANTI-VIRUS INFO ***
Microsoft Defender Anti-Virus / Smart Screen (and possibly a couple others) will detect this as a virus & you'll have to allow it to download and run. It's not a virus or trojan and will not allow attackers to hack your computer. It does not open any ports and won't allow anyone to connect to the app (unless the app has the UDP report server which is ONLY active if you explicitly enable it and is not on by default and can't be activated remotely). I can't do anything about the virus warnings. Most Anti-Virus software will not throw any warnings. The app works by connecting to your games process and reading / writing to the games memory while it's actively running. It sends the "heartbeat" back to NovaHQ/Novaworld.cc that contains your server information so it can be shown in the lobbies. Modern virus scanners can detect the functionality of apps before they are run and from their analysis it certainty seems sketchy. I did not program any backdoors, trojans, viruses or personal data collection into this app. However, if you do not trust software, you should not run it.

Easily rotates mission files for DF2, LW and TFD. Just place this exe file in your games folder and run it. Read the instructions on the screen.

Source code here: https://github.com/phphq/DFMissionRotator

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.

Player name, macro and game settings editor for DF1. This editor will also allow you to use the special magazine, n, e s, w characters in the game without having to know the key combinations. Your game does not have to be in the static known locations or installed with the correct registry settings for this editor to work. It will work with multiple DF1 locations. It can also set your game resolution to levels that aren't available in the game menu.

Requires at least the .NET Framework v2.0 which pretty much everyone should have by now.
