BHD Co-Op Patch Underway

**LadyHawke** · 04-04-2003, 08:07 AM

Last Monday, I extracted the Menu files for BHD and e-mailed them, along with screen shots, to Othello.

Just got an e-mail from him stating that "Yesterday, I began already to poke around. I'm sure that there is something small to change to activate coop. It needs to be found though

"

Thank you, Candle Man, for lighting our way, once again!

Hello LadyHawk reminds me of when TFD came out with no coop and they posts began for coop and you and your buddies came thru---figured it would not take you long--coop maps aleady in download at http://www.dfbhd.dk waiting on coop option.

DevilClaws has made a Beta Coop Addon. Although it adds a file or two to the pff, you use the Addon to actually start the game. If you do not, the orginal menu options are initiated.

Nobody has it yet...so I tried it alone ..

Available here

Yes the master addon him self has done it again go htttp://www.devilsclaws.net

I installed Devil Claw's Co-Op Add-on, but everyone who tries to join my game gets auto-punted...

Are there TCP / UDP router ports that I need to open in order to stop the auto-punts?

Are they also running the Addon ? I haven't even tried it yet...

**Charger** · 04-16-2003, 07:03 PM

Anyone successfully useing the ad-on yet?

I have, the fellow df'ers need the coop addon as well to play.

Okay... here's the scoop.

I installed Devil Claw's Co-Op Add-on, and hosted four games this evening. The Add-on does not allow players to pull up the mission goals, win/loss conditions, etc.

Players were getting tired of the same four missions, so I extracted the Single Players missions and am in the process of converting them to Cooperative missions.

By the way, Othello is creating a "true" Co-Op patch (not an add-on), which will replace the original DFBHD.exe file. His Beta Co-Op patch works fine, but players still cannot access the mission goals, win/loss conditions, etc. However, he is still investigating and working on these issues.

I will wait patiently for the patch .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .........................................well ? where is it ?

BHD contains over 900,000 lines of code, which include way over 30,000 call and 60,000 jump references...

And that's probably in assembly.. uggghhh. Personally, I don't see how he finds the patience to do it...

Very sad news for the Delta Force Gaming Community... I just received the following e-mail from Othello:

Hi Milady,

I'm sorry to say that I'm leaving the DF community in general and my friends at Sabre Corps in special.

Some months ago I had serious problems in my life. I can't tell you more about it. Fact is that I had enough with everything that has to do with DF.

I'm sorry that I didn't mail you earlier, but now I'm sure that it's for me the thing to do.

I will miss you all.

Enjoy life and you dear ones.
Othello
