Enhancement
 

With the help of Haggard Games finally I can adapt models from mission#2 and mission#6 to MoTmod.
Now all major models from DtS missions uses MoT-skeleton and animations!
Thanks a lot to Haggard Games!

A new head for the "old Strogov" :)

P. S. MoTmod 1.00 is comming very soon (perhaps on this week)!

A question, to play this mod, do you need to Death To Spies or MOT to play this mod?

To play this mod you'll need the resourses (*.vfs) from both games. At least MoT should be installed.

Thanks forlik. Keep up the good work. Another question, are there variations of the skins? For example, are all officers with the same uniforms?

Thanks. MoTmod 1.00 will contain skins from DtS/MoT only. Additional skins will be added later (as a patch) with the "Jagdpanther" mission.

I am a little confused, is this mod available to MOT, do I have to have the original DTS? Also, where is the download link?

Thanks :o

See post#204.

Will be today on the site.

Congratulations, I wait for this moment for a long time :)

I'll download it now :)

Update:// Where is TF download link?

Ditto!

Thanks, I tooooooooo! :)

TODAY isn't means NOW :evil:

C'mon comrade, don't punish us anymore :P

:mrgreen:

The site is updated. Welcome and download MoTmod 1.00!

Since I need the .vfs files from the original game, then I can't download the mod. (only have MOT)

The main idea of the mod is adaptation of DtS missions to MoT engine.
If you don't have DtS and don't want to find it - there are no sense to install mod for you (only if you want to see MoT missions without posteffects and cinematics).

The game seems to crash when you try to check in at the Hotel.

EDIT: I think I know what the problem is - AHO's tinkering with the RegistrateAnchor.lua.

When is the new Mot Mod coming out? I am going hoppin' mad about those uniforms!!

MoTmod isn't compatible with AHO's mod. But you can adapt it yourself. It's not difficult because there are no new sounds and textures in version 1.00. Scripts can me merged with WinMerge. SWDs and other binaries - with any hex-editor.

A good question on the second day after release :mrgreen:
Can't say right now about new versions...

UPD: But I can show some new screens from "Jagdpanther":
http://img188.imagevenue.com/loc617/..._122_617lo.jpghttp://img258.imagevenue.com/loc541/..._122_541lo.jpg

Thanks. I am a little too eager to see those uniforms (not again!). Sorry to bother you. I really like the new photo of the man with the little mustache and the silly hairstyle!

In "Paycheck", Wenk Bartels doesn't seem to be doing anything. I got rid of AHO's tinkering with the SchnapsPoisonTrigger.lua, but he still does nothing. Also, there are supposed to be three soldiers in front of the church at the beginning of the level, but there's only one.

No problem.
Nice avatar, Erwin ;)

http://img149.imagevenue.com/loc155/..._122_155lo.jpg

Are you from Germany? :)


I'll check it, thanks.

AFAIK DtS has one also.

I'm from Malta, I was just describing Hitler in the Allo Allo fashion. Malta is a very small island south of Sicily and the name's Bernard. I really like the small picture of Rommel.

It looks good so far, nice work. However, I had a problem, it crashed as soon as I passed the first level. Also, I was wondering, would it be possible or do you plan to, implement the "yellow status" guards present in MoT? The way the guards respond to a suspicious disguise in MoT just seems more realistic than in DtS. I should probably note that I played MoT first, so I'm a bit biased toward favoring the way MoT handles over the original.

I confirm the bug in the mission#05. Wenk doesn't want to drink, so it's impossible to kill him with the poison. I'll try to fix...
Thanks Liz Shaw for the bug reporting.
http://img238.imagevenue.com/loc368/..._122_368lo.jpg

Of course I know Malta :)

I mean Erwin Rommel, he is on your avatar :)

Thanks!

More details please. When, after that, another levels ok?

Yes. It will work in "Jagdpanther".
http://img105.imagevenue.com/loc462/..._122_462lo.jpg

I was thinking, is it possible to make the soldiers click their heels when they salute you?

I have played all of the DtS missions on the MoT engine, and there are some things I want to point out:

• Because Ivan Melnik in White Head is an edited model of Volkov, both Volkov himself and the traitor in Hotel (who is also an edited Volkov model) speak German among Brits. I'm currently trying to figure out how to make all three "Volkovs" speak Russian rather than German (but Melnik will still speak German to the waiter and the guard outside his room).
• Because the male US scientists in Project Y are reused in Dora, they have British dialogue among Americans. Female scientists don't have this problem.
• Because some of the female civilians in Embassy are reused in Shefferd, they have American dialogue among Brits. Not every woman in Embassy is affected by this problem, though.

It's not my fault, I just added a dialog text to the scripts...

P.S.: My modifications are not compatible with forlik's ones,
because we modified the same files...

Soldiers don't use heels in salute (legs don't move). So, no sense to add this sound.

Why Russain? Embassy's and Hotel's traitor speaks with english people, so he must use English.
WhiteHead's traitor speaks with germans, so he must use Deutsch.
Will be fixed in the first patch.

Will be fixed in the first patch.

American people in english embassy looks absolutely normal :)
But I'll try to fix it also.
Liz Shaw, thanks a lot for your comments!

I've already confirmed my bug in post#225 ;)

Yes :(
Will you try to adapt your mod to MoTmod?

He means, the britishmen speak with american accent.

Oh man, much much work again... Will first check your mod, when I've
got enought time...then let's take a look...

Yes, I understand. But I mean they can be not a british men/women :)

Liz Shaw is right, there are three!

DtS 1.1 RUS
http://img181.imagevenue.com/loc46/t...1_122_46lo.jpg

DtS 1.1 German

As far as I remember on easier difficulty levels there are only one, but on harder there are three soldiers at church...and same thing with Meltzer's escort...

My screenshot is from diff. level EASY.

Where did you find patch 1.1 for German version of DtS? Is it official update?

My screenshot is from diff. level HARD :)

No ALL localized versions of DtS are already patched.

Hmm...shouldn't we need an automatic installer for MoT mod? (and maybe for AHO's mod) Hm? I'd ask our translator team programmer! (We have automatic installers both DtS and MoT hungarian and uncensored textures patch...)

Yes, I'm forgot, sorry :)

MoTmod is based on the russian DtS release 1.1 and russian MoT release 1.0.
I spent too much time to adapt DtS SWD files to MoT and I'm not planning to use SWDs from another releases.

BUT! I'm agree that three soldiers are better than one, because single soldier == enemy uniform without problem. And it's much more difficult to kill 3 soldiers silently. So, I'll try to copy additional 2 soldiers from the english SWD. But not now, it will be later.

I'm planning to use NSIS installer for the later versions of MoTmod. But it's a lowest priority for me. Now MoTmod Team works on "Jagdpanther" :)

But thanks anyway. It will be nice if you provide some info about your installer type, about vfs unpacking, etc.

Our installers are totally automated...for example the DtS HUN installer can identify the version of installed game and the place where's been installed the game...if russian then it can patch to 1.1, then unpack the vfs' and overwrite the needed files with translated ones...if english then copy the uncensored textures too...etc...I gave you links private...I hope our programmers have some free time and can help us to make an automatic MoT installer in English or in Russian of course. :)

I tested MoTmod :) Great work forlik, congratulations and respect :)

I just discovered, just as we talked before: In level paycheck, there
is only one soldier in front of the church and also when I go near to him
the game crashed...

But the rest worked fine for me :)

I tested to implement German lang to your mod, but I'Ve overwritten some files so I could not acess DtS' mission.

Thanks!

Hmm... Some info in the log?

It's normal :)
Today I'll send a letter for you about german files and translations needed for MoTmod.

I've been making an Enhancement Addon for MoT before forlik released his mod, and now I decided to expand it and make an Enhancement Addon for MoTMod 1.0.

Here's what I've done:

• I modified all the level LUAs with louder music, as well as proof reading.
• I replaced muz3_ger_loop with muz_ger_1 (Lebe wohl, du kleine Monika).
• I replaced muz4_ger_loop with muz_ger_7.
• I replaced muz_ger_6 with muz2_ger_loop (Panzerlied) - the former was basically a slower version of muz_ger_7 (Panzer Rollen in Afrika).
• I replaced some of the German voice files with the ones from AHO's DtS Enhancement Addon.
• I added the heartbeat and breathing when Strogov moves while crawling from AHO's DtS Enhancement Addon.
• I replaced some of the British voice files with ones from Hitman: Contracts.
• I replaced some of the American voice files with ones from Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive.
• I replaced some textures with better ones courtesy of AHO.
• All the DtS levels have loading screens from AHO's mod.
• Made a bugfix to the ai.shadvs file - Americans use mostly British voice files when you get into a fight with them.

Other things that need to be done:

• Better loading screens in MoT missions.
• Need sound files from Hitman: Blood Money.
• Need to figure out how to replace the numeral "8" in "Eight Snipers" with the word "Eight" in the main menu.

You can find this and other text strings in file:

\UI\strings.shadvs

Interesting... :)

I hope you have the permissions from AHO ;)

Some ideas for that?

strings.shadvs

I meant having the name of the level on the bottom of the picture, like what AHO did in his mod.

Forlik, can you tell me how to install the mod? I followed the instructions, but the game didn't work.

What means "game didn't work"? What happened when you start exe-file? Crash? I need more info to help you.

I started the game, and after the videos I got a message box and it crashed to the desktop.

Try this: Rename the videos and start game again.

This is the message I am getting. I think I am doing some wrong, the part of of the DTS unpacked files (moving them to MOT file without replacing the MOT files). How do you do that part? Can you explain the installation procedure? Sorry to bother you.

UPDATE:

MoT loading screens now have the name of their respective mission. I still need to figure out how to edit the strings.shadvs file without making the game crash.

Please tell me size (in bytes) of your \Shaders\Pass\Lightmaped.rpassbin file.

I've explained the installation procedure on the site (with detailed screens). I don't know how to make this more detailed. Try to re-unpack the VFSs and reinstall the mod (step by step!). If you don't understand step#2 - try to move MoT data to DtS data with file replacing.

Ask hykao about shadvs2txt and txt2shadvs converters.

It didn't work :(:(:(:( What programme you used in the installation procedure (not the DTS101)?

Let's move our dialog to PM. See your inbox.

I can't send you emails anymore. I dunno why, so I put the files
here in attachement...

Thanks! See your e-mail inbox ;)

Thanks forlik. For the first time I managed to pass Level "Cannibal" without having to shot everyone on sight!!

My congratulations and wishes a lucky game ;)

The mod is very good. The main character looks better. But there is only one thing I don't like. That is the yellow status of the enemy soldiers isn't introduced in this mod. I found MOT much easier to complete than DTS. The yellow status of the enemy actually helped realism (in my opinion). But still, keep up the good work!

I'm still waiting for hykao to give me the shadvs2txt and txt2shadvs programs. There are a couple more problems:

• The diplomat in Hotel doesn't seem to speak.
• Lightning's LUA file has hints when putting on certain clothes, but they don't seem to appear in-game, especially on Easy difficulty. What could be wrong?

Thanks for your feedback! As I said before, the yellow status will be added in "Jagdpanther" (see my post#225 with example of yellow status in mission#01).

Try to send a PM to him.

Is he speak in DtS?

I'm not changed LUAs from MoT (only cinematics were disabled), but I'll try to check...

About hints in "Lightning", try to add these parts of code to activate messaging:

1. Add a new action handler to Level.OnLoaded():
2. Add a new function:
Now it works:
http://img201.imagevenue.com/loc503/..._122_503lo.jpg

But please don't forget that it works on easy diff. level only.

That's what I wanted... Thanks!

UPDATE:

I finally managed to edit the strings.shadvs file without causing the game to crash, courtesy of "Csáboka".

Update 1.01 is available for download.

Damn! I was expecting Jagdpanther to be included in this...:(

Of course no :)
"Jagdpanther" will not have a minor prefix like X.0X. It will be MoTmod 1.1 or even MoTmod 2.0 (depends on updates quantity).

Would cutscenes and new scripted dialogue work in DtS missions?

I think yes, but I don't know how to create them :confused:

Also, once VCH briefings have been added, is it possible to add a voice-over for them like in the MoT missions?

Voice over is possible. You just have to edit the briefing.shadvs
I tested it with the mission "Paycheck".

Yes, it's possible.

Update on my additions to the mod - I corrected the interaction option for locking Shestakov in the sauna in "Renegades" (the text should say "LOCK THE DOOR" instead of "CLOSE THE DOOR").

About Jagdpanther, would the new uniforms be in other missions as well, even those in MoT?

Have you changed constant in strings.shadvs? This may affects to all doors in the game!

No, in "Jagdpanther" only. Perhaps we'll publish reworked training mission together with "Jagdpanther", but I can't guarantee it now.

This interaction is in Renegades' LUA file, so it doesn't affect every door. It's possible to lock Shestakov in the sauna.

PS. Speaking of the LUA file for Renegades, I also changed one of the failed mission texts, from "A SOVIET MAN WAS KILLED" to "A SOVIET CITIZEN WAS KILLED". This is because you could kill a babushka and the text would say you killed a man...:grin::grin::grin:

Hey Forlik.
Myself Brucmendes I read your entire post But I want to make DtS authentic in my mod. What exactly is wrong with the things you mention above. I'm not a WW2 expert so please
help me out.
Thanks.

What kind of mod is this. Did you do something till now?

I think some of the signs are missing in "Die Spies!". I would take a screenshot, but I don't know how to do it. Pressing F1 only brings up the help menu.

A little bug report: I test MoTmod and its Hungarian translation...I finished with some missions, and I saw a problem with level end rating, I get always the best "Volkodav" rating even if I kill and hit etc. some people...I test the mod on easy difficulty level.

Well, there's no change in the game logic for those missions yet, so maybe forlik could sort it out by the time Jagdpanther is ready...

The key for taking a screenshot has changed from "F1" to "F11".

AHO is right. For MoT game F11 key should be used. F1 was used for DtS. Please make screenshot and post it here.

Thanks, I'll check it.

Look at these screenshots. Note the black patches on the walls. There are supposed to be signs there, but they don't seem to show up.

Thanks. Yes, something like this. Can you make screenshots from the same places in DtS?
P. S. Do you know about JPEG file format? :)

Comparison between MoTMod 1.01 and DtS, this time in JPEG.

Can't reproduce this bug.

http://img146.imagevenue.com/loc352/..._122_352lo.jpghttp://img25.imagevenue.com/loc529/t..._122_529lo.jpg

Maybe somebody with english version of MoTmod can confirm this bug?

I cannot confirm this bug. Everything looks good on my system (Base: DtS German, MoT English, no mods just german translation).
Did you tinker with the SWDs Liz ?

What have the SWDs got to do with it?

The missing sings are model files, which are refered by the level map file (SWD).
Either the SWD is manipulated or the corresponding model file (SMF) is missing...

Edit:// the filename is: "\Models\Indoor\Details\school\level08_pointer.SMF "

The signs now show up in MoTMod, thanks to AHO. I'll add the sign textures to my addon for MoTMod, since they were edited by AHO (the original were incorrect German text).

Speaking of my addon, I need to figure out how to extract voice files from Hitman: Blood Money. I don't think hwhd does the trick.

Good job :)


Did you test it? Perhaps it works.

Unfortunately, Blood Money doesn't have its own streams.wav file.

Liz Shaw, as I understand your problem is fixed. Ok.

hykao, I confirm your bug. The level rating is always max (Volkodav). At least in several DtS missions. I'll try to fix it...

So how's progress going? I can't seem to access the MoTMod website. Is there something wrong with it?

Looks like they kill my site :cry:
Can't understand why...

UPD: Please try this hotfix. It seems level rating calculation to be correct now.

I can access the MoTMod website now! Must have been a breakdown with the site's host...
