The bad thing is that I need the script ID of an NPC. These are defined
in the SWD map file. I don't know where and how. It's seems that they are
encrypted or something like that...

Short: There are some IDs in the scripts and I can only modify them
unfortunately :(

IDs are not encrypted and you can find them using search command in any hex-editor. But they stored as numbers, not as strings. So, to find them you should reverse your request. You can modify these IDs or create your own (DWORD with offset 0x3D after NPC's name).

Example for D. Meltzer (YAZK):

Interesting:
I found his ID at adres 0x00EF68FC as a reverse string (KZAY).
But it is not a stored as a number? It's just a reverted string :o

Update://
If a NPC does not have an ID, can I give him a new one?
Is the space inside the swd empty? How long have the
ID to be? I think four bytes (chars)?

I mean reverse form, like for numbers (little endian byte order).

Yes, as I say before, you can create new IDs.

DWORD (4 bytes).

I see...


Great, this opens up new possibilities :)


OK

By the way, where did you get the German voice clips? Some of them came from Commandos and Call of Duty...

He he yep, I took them from every WW2 game and Mod I could find...

Diplomat Oddities
 

Here are some oddities in "Hotel":

1. Taking out the diplomat by non-lethal means (ie. chloroform, punching him or throwing a glass at him) is classed as killing him and instantly results in mission failure. Maybe you should make the game recognize that knocking out the diplomat isn't classed as killing him. You did a similar thing with the courier in "Winter Cold".

2. The game crashes when you attack the diplomat while the meeting is going on.

I will check that...

Edit:// On my system the game only crashes when I attack the traitor, not the diplomat :o
It seems to be a scripting error, but I cannot find it :(

One of the two anyway! The point is, the text says "Diplomat has been killed" even when you merely knock him out. Alternatively, you could change the text to "Diplomat has been attacked"...
