[AHO]

I do say a very nice mod! :)

Thx :)

[AHO]

FINAL VERSION

As far as I could see there is not much to improve anymore, so I decided
to finish my work on this mod.

The final version (v. 1.0) will be almost identical to Beta-3, perhaps
I add some minor changes.

Thanks anybody for their help and suggestions...

Never mind! We're getting close to a localized MoT anyway...

[Liz Shaw]

Uh... Have you played the MoT demo yet? What did you think of the new German phrases and dialogue?

[AHO]

Uh... Have you played the MoT demo yet? What did you think of the new German phrases and dialogue?

I downloaded the demo two days ago, but I had no time to test it.
I'll infom you when I've checked them out...

[AHO]

Uh... Have you played the MoT demo yet? What did you think of the new German phrases and dialogue?



So unpacked all sound files and played some of them:
Most new voice files are without any accent or error. It seems they're spoken by native speakers.
The voice files from DtS, which are still implemented in MoT, have of course the same weirdness...

Edit:// I implemented some of the new ones (Acces only for officers and most female voices) to my addon. :)

[AHO]

Version 1.0 Final is out.
My mod is now complete!



Whats New:

Replaced some of the german voices "Acess only for officers" with better and correct ones from MoT.
Replace most of the female german voices with correct and beter ones from MoT.
In briefing texts of level "Embassy" the traitor is now called by his full Name "Konstantin Volkov".

GERMAN NATIVE SPEAKERS

I'm looking for german native speakers or others who
can read/write German on a native speaker level.

My itention is to translate MoT to German (strings only)!
Some kind of unofficial localization mod.

Is there somebody out there?

[Liz Shaw]

Wait a minute! Didn't you replace the pianist in "Embassy" with the model of the hotel manager?

[AHO]

Well if I remember correcly, yes!
Why do you ask?

You didn't add it in with the files...

[AHO]

You didn't add it in with the files...

Really? Who is visible? The old guy?

[Liz Shaw]

What, so the pianist has been replaced? You didn't mention it in the changelog...

[Liz Shaw]

Wait! Scratch that! The pianist has been replaced! That's good! However there is a problem - he's classified as an agent instead of an Embassy employee.

What, where, Who?!? :o

[Liz Shaw]

What, where, Who?!? :o

You replaced the pianist's character model in "Embassy" from one of Volkov's bodyguards to the hotel manager. You did not mention this change in your changelog. In addition, if you kill the pianist, the game will regard it as if you killed an agent, even though you replaced the model.

I see. So you better do not kill the pianist ;)
I think nobody does this so I let it as it is...

[Liz Shaw]

I also suggested having a warden's uniform in the bedroom near the conference hall in "Stronghold". Have you done that, or have you given up on that?

[AHO]

or have you given up on that?

Ja!

[tellurye]

AHO,

Thank you so much for doing this. Totally awesome!! Well, I assume it is, with all the hard work you did. Its not out here in the US yet (comes out tomorrow I think) so Ill grab it then.

I have some 2D / 3D animation skills, though looks like you are much more advanced than me. You can see some of the movies and 'mock commercials' I made for Hitman and splinter cell at my website. If you need anything, no matter how trivial, I would love to help. Give me the crap stuff you dont want to do. I could manage a website for you or whatever with news updates, 3D animation, non-linear video editing, what have you. Just name it. Least I can do for making this MOD for us. Thanks so much!!

Tellurye

Got 3D?

It was my pleasure :)

Really? Isn't DtS released already? Perhaps you mean the addon DtS Moment of Truth?

Well I finished my work on my DtS mod and at the moment I'm working
on my other mod for "Operation: Matriarchy" which will be finished soon.

Next I planned a HighRes Texture Mod for one of the first three Hitman parts.
I still cannot decide which one. Perhaps I take Hitman II - Silent Assassin.

Do you know some special Hitman Tools or documentations of file formats
related to Hitman? Till now I just found two tools for Hitman...

I don't know how, but i know it's possible.

http://www.hitmanforum.com/forum/index.php?showforum=25

"The creative side of HitmanForum. Post your videos, fan-art, literature and funny screenshots in here! These do not have to be hitman related per se. This forum also contains everything you need to know about 'Hitman' mods, skins and texture-packs."

But i'm sure AHO knows more, and probably has better sites to link you to :P.

[AHO]

Wait, did you say it was possible to mod HITMAN???:grin:

It seems so, But I did not do any experiments till now!

I'm wished to make a HiRes mod for Hitman I/II/III for long ago, but
till now there was just one tool a LOC-Tool or somthing like that, I
dunno wat it exactly does.

Know, about two weeks ago a found a brand new tool. A texture
extractor for the Hitman engine. But I don't know if it's only for
unpacking or for repacking. I did not any tests till now.

But if its possible, I wann create a HiRes mod for Hitman, because I
find the graphics quite good, but they a kind of pale.


-AHO

According to the forum, Nokturnal mentioned it seems already
to be possible see link below.

The use the same texture extractor which I mentioned above. :)

Is Moment of Truth an add-on, or a whole new game? I thought it was a sequel. I cannot find it here in US (though I think it is avail on steam download - I like buying the box / dvd though) And Amazon stated its been pushed back till 8/31!! Im so ticked!! I want that game.

and yes, you can Mod Hitman. Which I thought thats what you were using, as this looks very Hitman like. To my knowledge though, you can only do like textures skins, etc, I dont think you can do levels or gameplay, but I could be wrong.

I guess Ill have to play Velvet Assassin until this comes out. ((sigh...))

Dts MoT is a standalone Addon. As far as I know till now, it's only
available via download...

Yes till now you can only modify the textures, but that's what I wanna do
for my "Hitman X Improved Textures Mod". ;)

Sorry for bringing this thread up again, but I've just gone through some of the dds files in PhotoShop, and apparently, the new characters introduced in AHO's mod bear a resemblance to some characters in MoT.

The second male scientist (Project Y) resembles one of the new Soviet peasants (Renegades), the second male peasant (Paycheck) resembles Igor Tsavalov (Shefferd) and Paul Weber's new head (Winter Cold) resembles Colonel Hudson (Dora).

Coincidence?:confused:

That's right, I never planned to make my Addon compatible to forlik's one.
Sorry... :|

[Nvrsummer2]

Do you guys know if this works in Windows 7? I cant seem to save the files back into the directory. I get a checksum error. Just wanted to know before I start pulling hairs out.

Check your PM...

[Astor]

I have hykao's uncesnored textures and voice mod installed. I want to install your mod as well, but I'm not sure about the compatability of it with those two. I also know that your's includes the textures so can you please tell me how I should go about installing this mod?
Cheers

[Astor]

Okay, I have a few questions. I've removed all mods from the game and am going to start installing them again.
So my questions are -
-Does your mod include hykao's Russian speech patch 1.2?
-If it doesn't, in what order should I install your mod and his speech mod?
-Hykao's first and then yours? Or the other way round?
- I don't have to install hykao's patch 1.1 texture mod because yours
contains all the textures, right?
Help from anyone would be appreciated
Cheers

[Liz Shaw]

I think it doesn't matter which order it is. I never used hykao's patch when using DtS. AHO's mod has the uncensored textures already provided. Hope this helps!

[forlik]

I'm not AHO, but I can answer for some parts of your question :)

Does your mod include hykao's Russian speech patch 1.2?
It's very easy to check. Just try to open some files from Sounds folder.

I don't have to install hykao's patch 1.1 texture mod because yours contains all the textures, right?
Yes. Also AHO corrected some textures for the spelling errors.

[Astor]

Thanks for the replies, both of you. I looked around and don't think AHO's mod has the Russian speech, so I'll install it first and then AHO's mod. Get back to you on whether it works.
Cheers

Edit
Hmm, I installed the speech and then AHO's mod and am getting CTD's. I then tried putting each folder in individually and it didn't work. Does anyone know if in AHO's textures
swastikas appear on the armbands?

Hi Astor,
first some background information:
I've already integrated blood and uncensored textures. And Yes the
swastikas are visible on the armbands.

I do not implemented the russian speech but I've taken the sub titles code
from hykao's mod.


Second how to install properly:
hykaos russian speech mod
then my mod
or


my mod
Only sound files (*.ogg) from hykaos mod
I'm not sure if hos script files for cutscenes are compatible with mine.
As far as I remembe not completely.

I hope this helps you

Have fun

AHO

[Astor]

Hi there! Well, thanks for the reply, but I think I finally got it worked out. It's the scripts folder of the mod that is causing the frequent CTD's on my system. I'm sure it's just my computer that's the problem and not your mod. Everything else works fine, including hykao's stuff. Apart from the blood, what else is included in the scripts?

[AHO]

..., what else is included in the scripts?
Many enhancements and some small bug fixes.

here is my the changelist:
http://death-to-spies.com/aho/dts/changelog.html

[lovfinion]

When I heard there was a mod to enhance this wonderful game I was most overjoyed - but being a novice I cannot seem to get my head around how to install it, now I download all the necessary components the VFS tool, addon itself and the English files.

what next, I execute the vfs tool, then I open the vfs files

Level.vfs
Models.vfs
Players.vfs
Scripts.vfs
Shaders.vfs
Sounds.vfs
UI.vfs

what do I do next, when I try save all I get an error saying "Header checksum illegal. Can someone help a poor noob get his head around what to do please?

[Liz Shaw]

You're supposed to extract the VFS files one at a time.

[lovfinion]

You're supposed to extract the VFS files one at a time.

Ah do you mean I should extract - Level.vfs then save it, then do Models.vfs and save it and so on?

[Liz Shaw]

Ah do you mean I should extract - Level.vfs then save it, then do Models.vfs and save it and so on?

Correct! Click on "Close" once you've saved a VFS file.

[Will2Kill]

Hello, can someone please tell me how to install this. I am slightly confused by the instructions given. I have read up on what this add on does and it's a MUST HAVE. Please help.

*EDIT*: I downloaded all the things i need for the enhancement mod. I need to know HOW to use the VFS unpacker to put the files into the game.

[Will2Kill]

Can anyone help with this?, wanna get this up and running. Thanks.

[Will2Kill]

Still no help? common people please. I just need to know how to use the Vfstool, thats it. How do i "Unpack" the mod? i get that i have to unpack it. But how?? It might take a few minutes to explain this tops....

[OSS]

Still no help? common people please. I just need to know how to use the Vfstool, thats it. How do i "Unpack" the mod? i get that i have to unpack it. But how?? It might take a few minutes to explain this tops....

[Will2Kill]

Don't know how to switch the game files with the modded ones using the unpacker. I got a PM, I will check that and see if it offers any assistance. Thank you for the reply OSS, someone should post a video on this.

You have to unpack the VFS files from the game. There are no ones in my mod...

[Will2Kill]

Oh. Ok the Vfs files in the game, alrighty i'll do that. One at a time or? is there a video on this?

[OSS]

Oh. Ok the Vfs files in the game, alrighty i'll do that. One at a time or? is there a video on this?

You have to unpack vfs files to directorys with the name of files.. So for example, if you unpack sounds.vfs, than all content from this file must go to Sounds directory.

so:

textures.vfs goes to "death to spies\textures" folder
sounds.vfs goes to "death to spies\sounds",
models goes to "death to spies\models"

etc..

then, when you unpack all the needed files, just install mod on top of that..
and you also must remove unpacked vfs files from the game directory ( or game still will be using data from the vfs'es)..

[Will2Kill]

Right on! I will do this, thanks.

[chungpe84s]

i'll appreciate it.

Thank for the help !

[forlik]

Hello (i'm french) this mod doesn't run for me :

I'm not french and can't understand your system messages :)
You can try to copy files yourself, without the bat-file. Levels from mod folder should be copied to Levels from game folder, Players from mod folder - to Players to game folder and so on.

[Le Loup]

Even doing that it does not work :(
I have no patch on my game.
It's a british version.
I just want the swatiska for the german.

[forlik]

Even doing that it does not work :(
I'm sure AHO will help you.

I just want the swatiska for the german.

If you need uncensored textures only - try to download MoTmod uncensored textures pack 1.00 (http://motmod.at.tut.by/mod_en.html). It's about 26 megs.

[Le Loup]

Don't run too :(
My game is a british golden édition.

[forlik]

Don't run too :(
You shouldn't run this file. It's 7-zip archive. Just unpack .dds files from the archive to the game folder (you should overwrite game files with the archive contents).

[Le Loup]

Not work either, I'm desperate !

[Liz Shaw]

Not work either, I'm desperate !

Do you have WinRAR?

DTS MOT Is not censored, cool ! While the first if, I do not understand !

DTS MOT Is not censored, cool ! While the first if, I do not understand !

The first game was published by Nobilis, the other by Aspyr. Seems HG was looking for a publisher that was willing to leave everything uncensored before localizing MoT.

Hi everyone.
First of all great job for your mods ! I always use them.

I have just one or two questions I wanted to ask you :
It's possible to disable the npc mania to lock their view to ourself when we are on sight ? If yes, how ?

Thanks (and sorry for my poor english, don't speak very well)

Don't know if someone is interested but I did this little texture modification for more authenticity in the german soldiers hats and helmets decals :

Are you planning to work on another skins?

[Altered]

I don't know really how to explain (my english is very bad), but when we are disguised, the heads of the ennemy soldiers looks always at the player and it's very annoying. Specially when they are "green" and are supposed to be friendly soldiers (for yellows\reds I don't care).



Good work! :cool:
Are you planning to work on another skins?

Thanks. Not at the moment, but maybe if I'm not very busy for the nexts months to come.

So, nobody knows how to disable this AI behaviour ?

[Etienne11]

Mmh.... Maybe you should look up in the ia config file and maybe i could be possible to reduce the time/probability they look our character...
'Shall be difficult.

[Altered]

Thanks, I gonna check this !

[forlik]

So, nobody knows how to disable this AI behaviour ?

There are no simple fix for this problem. It is possible to disable for animation, but globally. Like smoking for example (before - after):

Open ai.shadvs and look at "animations" section. Copy any animation with ManualHead = true parameter and rename it (animation) to Act_Rasplata_Smoking. Now all enemies will not look at you while smoking.
Use shadvs2txt and txt2shadvs tools (by Csaboka) to edit shadvs files.

First of all great work on this mod. I played DTS a long time ago and reinstalled it today. I would like to use your mod but it doesn't seem to work. I did all the necessary steps but once I start the game I get a black screen and nothing happens. Game works fine without it. You say that you need v1.1 of DTS but I can't find it anywhere on the internet. Could this be the issue or is it something else? I have windows 7

Hello,
Version 1.1 is only relevant for original russian version. ALL localized versions are already at patch-level 1.1.

Solution for your problem: Delete both videos (avi) of my mod!

How did you do the installations process exactly?

[Carnage]

1. Installed DtS
2. Used VFS unpacker to unpack the archives, one at a time, everything without a problem
3. Unpacked the add-on, incl. english texts
4. Used backup.bat to backup the original files
5. Started the game with and without your avi's

As far as I know I didn't start the game before applying the add-on

Hmm, thats all correct...

That does'nt matter...


Do you a have a special version of the game (e.g. Gold Edition) or something like that. Perhaps a digital download version?

[Carnage]

No just the basic retail version. I'll try to install everything again and see if I have any luck :)

[0087]

Does this addon work with the Gold Edition?

I have followed the instructions to the letter but the game just loads as regular vanilla. It isn't acknowledging the modifications.

Attached below is how my DtS area appears having attempted to install the mod.

As well as the message that appears when running the backup.bats.

Have I done anything wrong?

[AHO]

Alive and kicking...
