My DtS/MoT mod

[Liz Shaw]

There could be some stuff that'll need improving before or in time for the release of Jagdpanther.

What did Haggard Games do to allow you to convert American and German winter soldiers into MoT form? There are other models that could be converted to MoT form then, right? There are some that still have their DtS skeletons:

• Soviet winter peasants (Winter Cold)
• The courier (Winter Cold)
• Female US scientists (Project Y)
• Wardens (Removal)
• Some female civilians in Embassy

Although Dietrich Meltzer (Cannibal) and the targets in Paycheck also have DtS skeletons, they'll eventually be given a new look before that could happen, right? I know that Meltzer is being revamped right now...

Other things worth pointing out are that the cleaning lady model (Actor reference "MadamCleaner") sweeps the floor with an invisible broom unlike in DtS, you cannot take the hotel manager's clothes unlike in DtS (is this because the model of Strogov in the manager's suit uses his old head?), British diplomats and cooks don't speak (though this is corrected in my addon), and I also think the prisoners in Removal should speak Russian.

Incorrect question
HG re-converts 3dmax models to smf format using the new skeleton. I was unable to do this by myself since HG won't publish any tools for DtS/MoT modding.

Yes, you are right. But these models are not so important, Strogov in peasant's and warden's uniform uses MoT skeleton. Of course it will be better if all models were converted, but ...

Yes. Colonel D. Meltzer will have another face.

Yes, like soldiers smokes invisible cigarettes

There are no smf model of Strogov in manager's suit. For DtS too.

I'm not focused on sounds in MoTmod. At least for today.
UPD: You can add new sounds for prisoners in your addon

So how did you manage to convert the models?

Yet another difference between the Russian and localized versions of DtS, then. My version of DtS has an SMF model of Strogov in the manager's suit, and neither me nor AHO had anything to do with it...

Did you read my previous post?
I can't convert the models!

Sorry, my mistake. I found SemenManager.SMF.
So, one more unconverted model

Secret only known to HG, eh?

Also, I've been trying to give silenced Lugers to some armed mechanics in Lightning, however trying to do this via the LUA file causes the game to crash when I load up the level.

After Jagdpanther, what kinds of new characters could we expect to see in future modifications? Since Wehrmacht units will appear in Jagdpanther, I've come up with some ideas about who to put in after Jagdpanther is released:

• Fallschirmjäger in "Lightning"
• British Home Guard in "Dora"
• AHO once thought of using the FBI agent models as the basis for Gestapo agents in "Stronghold"
• In "King's Riddle", there are at least two female secretaries. I have an idea of making them Naval Auxilaries (they appear to be SS helpers, or helferinnen).

In both games, all German soldiers appear to be part of the SS judging by the collar insignia. As well, all American and British soldiers appear to be part of the Airborne Division and the Parachute Regiment respectively, judging by the insignia on the left sleeve. In "Dora", the British soldiers are paratroopers, while the officers are SAS personnel, which is rather funny.

Also, are new Soviet uniforms going to be introduced eventually?

Most of the German soldiers are SS in MOT. There are few soldiers that are Wehrmacht. The Wehrmacht insignia is kind of rectangular, like the one in the picture (on the collar).



I think that having different soldiers in each map helps to increase variety. It would be very interesting if you have Fallschirmjager.
