Satchel Charges and Claymores

[CajNatalie]

Hi there, I have the latest version of Delta Force, and the Satchels and Claymores do not work... they don't even appear on the terrain when I use them (this is not the issue of a faulty Detonator, which can be solved by shooting a Satchel or Claymore - they don't even appear in the first place to be shot).

I have contacted NovaLogic about this, and it turns out that they apparently disabled Satchels and Claymores after one of their updates.

I've had a look around... and I haven't found any patches to re-enable them.
So I thought I'd post here to find out if anybody's made an independant patch to fix this.

this happens in single player?

[CajNatalie]

Yes, single player.

I have two copies of the game, too... I (after a few years) tried buying a second one because I was hoping that a new copy would fix the problem.
Nope... exactly the same problem.

My PC has also gone through numerous changes since I first started playing... so it would be nothing to do with my PC.

after a 2-3yrs after Novalogic, inc release a retail game they stop all support for the game. sorry your stuck with it. only way i can see a mod was made it can change it so it been seen by only team who lay it down.

search for a 3rd party mod for Delta Force (DF1)

They disabled clays and satchels? I have the latest version of DF1 right now and there's claymores and satchels in there I could select right now.

I have searched for a 3rd party mod... but I haven't found any... ;_;

I can select them too... but if I place them... they vanish into nothingness.
The issue here is what's wrong with my two copies of the game, and just telling me that your game might just not have the same problem doesn't solve my problem. 8D

Your cd's have nothing wrong with them. They either have and older version where these items were not working...or you patched your game after installing it and the bug was there.

My DF1 installs with working clays and satchels. The update won't install because I have the latest copy already though.

[CajNatalie]

This bug occurs both before and after patching with both CDs. Dx

[Chrispy]

I'm sure I've seen people place clays and satchels, and possible me as well. I know in SP if I lay a satchel it disappears (dunno about a claymore), so it forced me to use a LAW for all the targets that normally need satchels.

It could be a bug, I guess. Don't think Nova's gonna fix it though.

[CajNatalie]

^You have exactly the problem I have, Crispy (at least in SP).
I have to use LAWs for all the Satchel targets, too.

It's not exactly a bug, though, if NL intentionally turned off Satchels and Claymores... I was just hoping someone had independantly turned them back on with a certain patch that I've not found. XD

[Hellfighter]

think i remember i could lay down like only 6-8 claymores if i lay down more the first one would be remove in DF1 same for satchels as will.

but i don't recall them never be unseen before.

i have to install the old boy to tell you 100%

but i seem to recall there was a limited number of them that can be lay down in any given map by a single player

[CajNatalie]

Why on Earth were you laying down so many satchels? XD

[Hellfighter]

some people lay down like 20 or more and when they blow them up would lag the server really bad. IE LagBomb

some people even got banned for doing it in the newer games as will. doing the act of a lag bomb by laying down many of them to blow up one time would lag the server super bad. people really got banned for it

5 players all lay down in one spot all their claymores that would be like 8ea on one spot 40 claymores going off together. only one need to shot the stack of them.

if they get reportd in novaworld mods would watch out for them, they catch them in the act they get banned or if a lot of reports come in on them, same as will

this ban act would be for the newer games like DF:LW and up
