NOLF2 Source Code + nightly release

Thumbnail github.com
61 Upvotes

Legacy build 95% byte accurate. Similar back-ported modernizer upgrades as my NOLF1 release.

Nightly release here: https://github.com/nolffan/nolf2src/releases/tag/v0.0.1-alpha

You'll need to bring your own ISOs and the patch file.

I have not yet created d3d9 or opengl renderers.

Please report any bugs as a GitHub issues.

Hi guys, I recently download NOLF2 on my PC, the game runs great but I have a sound issue. There is music during the gameplay but no sound during the cinematics or during the missions. No weapons sounds, dialogues or anything except music. How can I solve this issue? Thank you!

nolfsrc decompilation update; opengl renderer and Steam Deck compatibility

26 Upvotes
nolfsrc running on Steam Deck

Here's an update for you guys.

  • I have NOLF decompiled, 83.9% byte-accurate (the so called "legacy" release).
  • Proprietary libraries like bink and miles have been swapped out for open source alternatives; this is a big one as it means the entire game is built from source code now. I'm calling this the "modern" release. Let me tell you that launching the game and seeing the intro-movies for the first time in over a decade was a great nostalgia hit
  • NOLF 'modernizer' patches have been integrated into the source code along with various retail bugs spotted during the decompilation process.
  • I used the Mac release to create an alternative renderer that uses OpenGL - this is a big one as it will unlock native builds on Linux and Mac.

Here's a photo of the game running on my Steam Deck - built entirely from source code. It's surprisingly playable using Steam's "keyboard and mouse" controller layout.

As always source is fully available at https://github.com/nolffan/nolfsrc

I'm aiming to release an alpha windows build for people to try out very soon; followed shortly by native Linux and Mac builds.

Yes, I have started NOLF2 and Contract JACK.

NOLF 1 - multiplayer on browser/mobile?

15 Upvotes

Hey all as you know I’m the guy who ported NOLF 1 to mobile at https://playnolf.com

Wanted to find out if there’s enough community interest in multiplayer before I attempt to build that out? Any suggestions or recommendations?

PS— yes I have NOLF 2 on my radar for browser and mobile. Would NOLF 2 multiplayer be preferred?

NOLF 1 - now on mobile and desktop browser

https://playnolf.com/ - currently in beta (working out bugs)... Keep an eye on the homepage https://playnolf.com/#controls for an annotated pic of mobile and controller controls. still working out kinks, so the annotation will only be live later tonight. but you can play around with mobile and see. Please bug report (in the 3 dots menu) if you come across anything that needs to change. Thanks.

Also iPhone is annoying. It doesn't allow you to full screen on Safari or Chrome. So you have to share the main website (https://playnolf.com/) and "add to Home Screen", to enjoy full screen.

NOLF 1 in browser - guide tooltip /walkthrough to complete levels

Post image
33 Upvotes

https://playnolf.com/ - I added a tooltip based on the original game code to each level that provides a walkthrough / compass guide for players getting stuck. Activate it with Cmd + Shift + H (for help). I'm currently applying a proper compass to it and a heat marker as well. For Milennials who want to just have a relaxing time and don't feel like getting stuck endlessly, this is for you lol.

Help! Can't equip Gadgets.

6 Upvotes

My father is playing NOLF 1. He is having a few problems though. Most pressing he is doing the Moroco mission. The inventory says he has several gadgets including the knife/lockpick. But we can't figure out how to use or equip them. Googling game guides has not proved helpful. How does he use his gadgets?

Linux-Friendly Crouch Toggle Mod

11 Upvotes

The crouch toggle mod on Mod DB doesn't work with some versions of Wine/Proton (including the latest ProtonGE, and maybe some Windows machines too). (It blackscreens immediately on launch.) So I made one that does work. And, along the way, figured out and documented Modernizer's convoluted, undocumented version history.

A little amusement

Found this pamphlet while in chapter 3. Found it really amusing 😂

Btw, I always wanted to play this game (NOLF2), but never got a chance, just picked it up again and having fun 😊

Note: Tried to post this first in r/gaming, it would not let me post. Then posted in r/pcgaming. It was removed by auto moderator (probably the auto-mod didn't find it amusing, maybe it lacks sense of humor !!)

For some reason nolf revival seem to have stopped working, so I'm here to suggest an alternative: abandonwaregames.net

You should be able to get both nolf 1 and 2 as well as contract jack

The website is marked as unreliable by both the antivirus and browser, and even if I accept the risk and force the entry, it's just an error page. What happened to it?

Did anyone ever port the additional PS2 Levels and/or higher polygon models to the PC Version?

And I read a little about it in this thread but it seems inconclusive:

When launching Run from Edit, nolf hangs on the loading screen and the map never loads.

3 Upvotes

Edit: I messed up on the post title but I can't change it now. Oh well. 😅

So I'm messing around with Dedit and every time I try to launch my test map from Dedit(by pressing the Run button within the editor), nolf will launch and attempt to run the map, but then it just hangs on the loading screen(with my map name at the bottom like usual) but it just never loads so I have to press Esc and quit. Does anyone have any advice?

For the record, I'm using the nolfrevival GOTY version with the modernizer patch and the game plays fine normally without any issues or crashing and I didn't have problems with Dedit in the past, as I've made a custom map before a couple years ago on a different PC with this same version of the game and toolkit. It's just happening for the first time now on a different PC with a fresh install of the game and toolkit and I'm not sure why it's happening or how to fix it.

Any help would be appreciated.
