DF1 COOP Map Cycle Fix / DF1 Alternate Lobby / Novaworld.cc
 
1 Attachment(s)
Delta Force 1 never really had any sort of COOP community because the COOP system was broken. Maps didn't auto cycle for hosts, and players were always punted at the end of every mission. Well today (15 years too late), it's been fixed. I've made a COOP patch for both clients and hosts. The Host tool is being tested with success right now (NOVAHQ STOCK in the NovaWorld DF1 Lobby) and you can download the client patch here: http://novahq.net/files.php?ID=577

All you need to do is download that file, and keep it running while you're playing in a DF1 COOP server. It will automatically cycle you with the host. The host tool, available here will auto cycle the missions so dedicated servers can be run unattended.

Also, this weekend I built an Alternate Lobby for DF1. You can now see players in game, join servers directly from this lobby, and there is much more coming soon. Players can use this lobby by modifying their Startup.htm file and hosts will show in the lobby with the DF1 Host Tool. Now there is no worry if NovaLogic/NovaWorld goes belly up. DF1 can live on forever :headbang:

Delta Force 2 Alternate Lobby:
It looks like Thor has been busy building a new DF2 alternate lobby. There is now a DF2 section on NovaWorld.cc. :bigthumb:

I'm having so much fun with this stuff. I always wanted to learn how to build desktop applications but never had any sort of spark or actual reasons to try and learn. Now I can't stop :nerd: :run:

I can't believe Visual Studio is free now!

SilentTrigger 11-04-2015 10:41 AM

It's free? :o

And really like your applications Scott, great work! :)

Scott 11-04-2015 10:41 AM

Yes :D

How clever and how fortunate for the DF community that you've adapted your skills this way.

I 'played' DF1 last sunday and got whooped. I could not see the opposing players. They saw me and shot me up.

I will try again maybe this coming sunday, but man it is not like I remembered. Any distance and I can not see anyone. I have the resolution set to highest too.

I had a really hard time the first few times playing also. Try setting your gamma to about 100 using the player editor (http://novahq.net/files.php?ID=570), it can really help for some people. Also make sure you set it to 1024x768. Those two things helped me the most.

This manual may answer some questions regarding tactics.

WARNING - This is a heads up.

Although this info is freely available I think some of the tactics may appear to be bending the rules a bit to some.

In so saying I don't vouch for some of the info myself but I've posted it because I reckon it's possible to play better if you know what the enemy may be up to.
