Step 2) How to connect to NOLF-Server / Gaming
The "OneOakWay.com" method. (See other methods here)

Rookie Vee, from oneoakway.com wrote a good tutorial how to connect to nolf servers.
Read here howto conntect to a nolf-server http://oneoakway.com/nolf/howto/

Basic steps are:
- Download his programm.
I recommend it do save it in the nolf main folder.
- Execute his programm as admin
- On his webpage there is a serverlist, if you click on that "lightning" icon you will connect to the nolf server.


Step 3) Windows Smartscreen blocks the program, How to turn it off

Only Windows 10 Creators Edition and Windows 8.1.
Windows 10 "Creators Edition": Type and search for "Windows Defender Security Center", click on the left on "App & Browser control" and under "Check app & files" you set it on "Off".
Try now to execute the NOLF Launcher (of course as admin) for Vee's NOLF Status page.

 

Step 4) How to add maps/skins or How to add .rez files
(Portable Version needs updating the game to 1.004)
Adding maps and updating the game (updating only portable verson) works on the same method: Adding REZ files.  Click on Nolf.exe and then on Advanced then on "Customize" and then add the following REZ files:
nolf003cres.rez
NOLFCRES003.REZ
nolfu003.rez
nolfu003cres.REZ
NOLFGOTY.REZ

If you have the compatibilty mode on you may need to follow this step each time when you start nolf, the solution would be to not use the portable edition and install the game from the original CD, the original CD's can be found at http://www.unityhq.net & http://www.nolfrevival.tk.

How to add multiplayer maps: Download the maps from various internetpages and move the .rez files in to the customs folder inside your Nolf main folder. In the portable versions from above you can already see some Ego maps. You add them to game just how you added the "Nolfgoty.rez".


Start the game! After you started the game, you can immediatly exit the game. Now go to oneoakway.com and click on the server you wish to join!

Step 5)
Go back and see if some of the "General Startup Help" applies to you.


Pro & Contra:
 
++ server list with full live statistics (like player amount, and startweapon)
+ server list on website,
accessible from everywhere (computer, phone)
+ Screenshots of the maps
+ 1 click on the website to join the server
Adding maps/skins is a bit tricky
- New servers need to be reported to oneoakway
-- On Win 10 Creators Edition smartscreen need to be switched off in order to make the programm running
