Nf-fixer

This is the latest version (3.12) of my utility helper for Navy Field. This version:

1. Lets you adjust the volume of sound effects and music. 2. Works around the bugfeature that stops you firing while rotating. 3. Lets you terminate Navy Field either manually, or when it hangs. 4. Checks and displays whether you can connect to the servers. 5. Starts up Navy Field with one click.

Please feel free to try it out and let me know if it works or doesn't work for you, or suggest other (NON-EXPLOIT!) features that you'd like. Much credit goes to the early adopters who flushed out the bugs in it. Thanks, fellows, splendid work.

To uninstall, or if you experience problems, you MUST delete the file "dsound.dll" file from your Navy Field directory (and ONLY from there!). If you do not delete this file then you will continue to get modified sound volumes even if you don't run (or even if you delete) the NF-fixer.exe file. If you experience any problems, or can't get it to run, please remember to delete "dsound.dll" from your Navy Field folder.

Unzip all the files to your Navy Field directory (default C:\Program Files\SD EnterNET\NavyFIELD). Run NF-fixer.exe in there, and use the sliders to change sound effects and volume control. You should also be able to change volume while the game is running.

The fixer will also fix a key input problem that stops you continuing to fire while rotating and elevating guns. Turn on caps lock or scroll lock or num lock (your choice) to (virtually) spam the space bar, which is useful for fast firing guns, particularly AA.

You probably already do this yourself; this utility just saves you wear and tear on your space bar.

Finally, it will also kill Navy Field for you if (when) it hangs, or you can kill it manually by holding down Control (CTRL) and the End key - bliss!

As a bonus, it will also check if the servers are up (i.e. if you can connect to them).

With the volume turned down, a erratic stuttering/clicking/ticking sound can be heard. That's still under investigation. I hope it's not too intrusive.

Thanks, and enjoy!
