Allows you to host 64 player games in DF2.

Discussion Thread: https://novahq.net/forum/showthread.php?t=62971

64 hz Server Patch is a small edit to the game executable, required only for server hosts and affecting all connected players. This change forces values that were previously only customizable for LAN servers, now on servers hosted on NovaWorld. With the current speed of providers, everyone can now enjoy the game to its fullest.

This patch does not magically eliminate lag, the latency generated by your joining-player distance to the server will still remain. Players with high distance-based ping, will still need to shoot infront of their enemy, but they will have naturally less packet loss as the server will refresh at a much faster rate, leading to a significant reduction in the perception of lag.

What are the benefits and practical effects of this community server patch?

1. A huge decrease in the number of situations where players would teleport while moving, making perceived enemy player movement smoother and easier to aim at.
2. Now all bullets from all weapons on the server are more effective. Previously, 1/3 of the bullets of all weapons (e.g CAR15) were eaten due to the default low server data refresh rate of 16 hz.
3. All in-game sound effects can now be heard audibly. At 16 hz, many gunshots and ambient sounds were not played because they started at times when there were no packets to transmit to the player joining the server. Now all players can hear weapons, vehicles and the environment in their real accurate state.
4. All of a player's mouse and keyboard inputs are transmitted faster to the server, making it easier to execute movements they've really wanted to do on the server. Easy to notice when a player prones.
5. While it doesn't lower the minimum ping your players can have on a server, their ping tends to not fluctuate as much as it used to.
6. Movements made by all vehicles are now smoother and synchronized, making it possible for a player e.g. To hit another player who is in the window of a Black Hawk with much less difficulty than before.
7. Maps load much faster for everyone.

Why did NovaWorld's servers run at 16 hz and why should we use more than that?
Limitations of the time the game was developed culminated in methods and adjustments to accommodate players with slower connections such as dial-up. Today, everyone plays with connections capable of handling higher refresh rates, so there is no longer any need to degrade gameplay quality. No more players teleporting for no reason.

Why we shouldn't use more than 64 hz?
Although we can go further and reach 128 hz and we've tested higher limits, the game is not prepared for this and may present some problems in animations and other things. 64 is the sweet spot, perfectly matching the frame rate at which both the server and the game is designed to run on natively. This rate is also in line with current gaming standards, allowing new players to have fun and not be negatively impacted.

Compatibility
This patch is not compatible with modifications that also change the game executable.

Decompress

- Wave
- TGA
- DDS files
- and more...

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

You should install the 1.6.9.2 patch before installing this patch. http://novahq.net/files.php?ID=316

the Replace the JointOps.exe in your game folder with the one from the zip file.

This EXE has...

- Support for more Resolutions
- Support for Intel Integrated Graphics
- Wide-screen Aspect Ratio fixes
- Improved Squad Tag Display
- Enhanced security, moderator, and anti-cheat features
- Overall Optimizations and bug fixes

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).
