Hi, HeyJake!
I have a problem installing your Modernizer for the Russian GUI (translation “7Wolf”) with the vector font “Nolf” (similar to the English version).
This is a problem due to the Cyrillic encoding (for Germany, Spain, France there is no such problem)
I have no problem installing the Windows font (the Russian translation is “AlexSoft”), but the speed of the game is reduced, and the text of this translation also does not match the Russian voice acting from “7Wolf”.

Question:
I need a “clean” Modernizer, which does not have CRES.dll (or have official CRES.dll English-GOTY) and contains only a fix for the mouse and display (60Hz).
Additional options (jukebox, etc.) are interesting ... but without them you can play.

Question2:

What do you think mouse fix by Airslide?

Hello!

I actually couldn't get those fixes to work, and that's why I decided to build this fix! But yeah it's primarily for English users due to how old the engine is. (It's not exactly unicode friendly sadly.)

I'm not sure about the translation issues you're having, and I can tell you vector fonts in this engine (It's fixed in NOLF 2 thankfully) really slow down the game. The game renders them weirdly, and there's not much I can do about it :(

However if you can live without the other fixes, I've made a fix mainly used by speedrunners. It's pretty much the pure experience with the framerate locked to 60, and the mouse fix applied.

Just download the NOLF Revival release.

That fix actually injects my code rather than recompiling the entire game. So it should hopefully work for you! (Aka it doesn't include any custom cres.dll!)

I checked this before writing to you ...

“Lithfix Beta 1/2 – NOLF” Does not work on my Windows 10 Enterprise 64bit LTSC v1809 ... “Missing Shell.dll cshell.dll” error message … Это only works on Windows 7x64 SP1 ...
"NOLF Modernizer 1.006 with Patch 3.1" and "NOLF Modernizer 1.005" works well on my Windows 10 ...
it's hard for me to understand ...
Can You just remove everything “optional” from NOLF Modernizer 1.006 / 1.005 and leave only the necessary?

Sorry that it's not working right!
The problem is I can't remove the optional bits because my mod relies on some new strings from CRes.dll! You can however give it a try, you can download Winrez Studios and extract the modernizer.rez file yourself, delete the cres.dll and rebuild it.

Good luck! I can't really help you further, because I'm not sure what's causing the issue here. :(

Yes, this is a famous utility from the Black Angel ...

I hope that in the future you will change your mind in favor of non-English players ... A few years ago I launched the "Contract JACK" server with NOLF2 maps, it was funny, there were no more than 10% of USA players, and 90% of Europe ..

Thank you for your work and good luck!

And what other nolf game had jetpacks :D

Jetpack Pegasusmod was interesting!
I remember the players: lelis(RU), lla(FR), bond(FR), TP555(GE), Captain Ezy(US),Emm@ Peel(SW) ...
Unfortunately, the "Contract JACK" server was VERY unstable, each player could crash the server if he typed a certain combination of special characters on the keyboard ... this error has not been resolved ... few people knew these codes .. :D

Lots of familiar names there for sure.. Been sniped by TP555 more than I like to admit :P Would be fun to play a few rounds again. CJ was my favorite multiplayer in the nolf series
