Mod/Patch/Enhancement
Hello community,
currently I'm working on an unofficial patch (mod) for the german and perhaps englisch version of DTS. Following is planned:
AHO |
Current State
Current state of my work is:
Greetings AHO |
I'm afraid I don't know how to tinker with the scripting... Most of the files are VFS or something like that and I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to open them.

You need the VFS-Unpacker to unpack them. You can find it here: http://int0thegame.blogspot.com/2007...es-smersh.html The Scripts are stored in standard LUA-Files! Have Fun Sincerely AHO |
Hi all
Is there a other program to unpack .vfs? I downloaded this from http://int0thegame.blogspot.com... but it doesn't work for me, there is no buttons:(. I tried to reinstall .NET framework and doesn't work with all versions for me 2.0, 3,5 etc :( Can someone tell me what can I do? or maybe someone could upload or send me unpacked textures from game, i need to change this stupid crosses to normal historical symbols. What's your state of work AHO? Thx all. for rep. (sry for my eng) |
Quote:
as far as I know there is no other unpacker for vfs. Ask hykao, if I remember correctly he or they programmed another unpacker for the sequel, but I am not sure if its compatible with dts' vfs! The current state is rather progressed. I figured out a lot of the scripts. E.g. the level is not failed, if the courier in level "Wintercold" is killed after you freed him. I will post the current state soon, if I had time. Because the changelog is really long... Sorry for your English? No Sorry for my poor English ;) Sincereley AHO PS: Perhaps you read it in the other thread: I figured out how to add new tasks into the game... |
Is this unpacker works on Your computer? if yes i have question: if You have some time of corse, could You unpack the Textures.vfs and Players.vfs, pack to rar and upload eg to rapidshare??I have this uncensored textures what they are needed to replace but i can't unpack orginal ones :( I would be so glad if You find some time:), this game is really good game, i stopped on 4 mission and wait for orginal textures for better play :D

ca. 1.3 GB! |
Ok nevermind, on my computer it doesn't work. I didn't play over a week but today i went to my friend and already on his computer this program works, now i have uncensored textures :D thx for reply. Is there a same path to "moment of truth" or there is no needed to normal textures?

Of course I can't present gameplay and audio optimizations this way ;) -- Does anybody have an idea what I also could improve? |
Oh boy! Your works are very impressive!
...but for subtitles, THX to TSL16bit, Piedon and Haggard Games...I was only a "copy-past" man... :) And one more thing: the original name of that pistol is "Nagant" -> CLICK HERE |

Quote:
As you can see on the picture in cyrillik lettern there stands Nagan not Nagant! ;) Also the console command name is weapon.Nagan and weapon.NaganSilencer. Quote:
There is just one 3d model, but with two skin textures (red and white costume). |
Quote:
Ambient music in every mission Ambient sounds and sound effects for almost everything in the game... like:
-- Well I figured out a lot about DTS scripting like:
--- Why does Haggard Games did not publish editors? These damned binary files (*.shadvs) are a little tricky to understand... But so important... Greetings AHO |
Quote:
(Both men (would) were Belgian :D) ...so in German that word - Nagant - have to write: "Nagant" ... |

I will correct it asap. |

refers the the skin files. But that is not important. I implemented the exchange by renaming the unused file to the filename of the model file used ingame. I hope you understand... :grin: |
Why not used?
I understand :-) |

Only Haggard Games know ...:grin: |

Hard Work
5 Attachment(s)
Uhhh, this was really hard work, becaus I had to patch some level and template files to create a new isolated npc, that only appears in this scene in this level solely.
You find the kissing pair in hotel room no. 220. |
Quote:
Superb!!! :D |
@hykao
Are there other modding/patch projects you know? Are there any fansites e.g. russian, polish oder hungarian, because I could not find any...?` |
Unfortunately I don't know about any other modding projects of this game...
...but I have been thingking about one thing for a while: in the sequel, Strogov has a new appearance, whether is there a possibility to change the old Strogov model in DtS with the new one? I'm only a translator, not a programmer or something...so I don't know the answer...but it would be cool! The sequel begins with same video as the DtS finishes...It's a little strange, when Strogov appears in his "well-known" dull-grey clothes, but he has a totally new face... :D |

What about fan sites? |
BumpMaps

I'm working currently on the bump maps, to improve the textures.
Question: which of the pictures look better? Just consider the wall and the tiles on it! Pic 1 is the original Pic 2 is is done by me by recreating the bump/normal map |
Hello,
could anybody send me the script files (*.lua) of all levels from the english version of DtS? I need them for translating my addon to English. thx AHO |

New elder man in ambassy. This is more realistic because in the whole game there where to less old people.
|
If somebody is interested here is my complete changelist in german.
Code:

I like your enhancement! keep up!
psss... I'd like to see some italian uniforms ingame... maybe some fascists officers at the hotel, just top have some new kind of enemies... |
Quote:
good idea but the hotel is in England, there were no Nazis or fashists ;) Maybe in other levels, but my mod is only an enhancement/improvement mod, that means, I do not plan to add new content, I just improve present content. greetings AHO |
No clones in Germany

The two identical female soldiers in the radio room (level Cannibal) look now different.
The new one has black hair, different face and eye color ... |
2 Attachment(s)
I decided to choose another model because they still look to similar.
I choosed one of the ladies from level "Hotel", but I had to reconstruct the german uniform for her skin texture. This was a little bit work. I also changed the hair and eye color a little. Little Bugs: from the side you can see some neat errors on her jacket. I dunno why, I could not locate it on the texture She wears shoes with heels, because of the original model. |
I don't think there where many female soldiers with such long hair... however the previous girls looked more "german"...but a great work anyway

why not use the girl on the third photo here
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...5&postcount=12 however, of the first two girls you already made the brunette was already good to me... only the blonde needs some lifting... |

No her face texture is good. Only the picture I posted is not good enough... Depends on the lights and shadows of the game engine... |

You know what, in the unmodded game, only German males have actual dialogue.:( Maybe you could add speeches for other enemies such as:
1. Civilians 2. Gangsters in "Hotel" 3. American soldiers in "Project Y" 4. British soldiers in "Embassy" 5. The traitor in "Hotel" and Volkov in "Embassy" 6. German secretaries (the only women in the game who have the guts to shoot you) Could you do that?:confused: |
Quote:
I had the same idea long ago, because I did not understand why british and american guards are dumb and german ones not. But I could not succeed, because the voices are defined in the map file (*.swd) this file can not be edited till now. I will try another way..thanks for reminding me :) Greetings AHO PS: The guys in hotel are not gangsters, although they look like. They are hotel guards (securities). |
New Faces...
5 Attachment(s)
With the help of hykao I could add/replace some faces with better ones.
1. Better face for the lady in embassy entrance 2. Better face for the prison guard in level Stronghold 3. New face for the officer with moustache, because he was already there with a kind of moustache like H*tler 4. See 1. 5. Better face for the blond Woman in embassy. |

Uniforms?
1 Attachment(s)
I'n weather a WW2 expert nor a military expert, but it seems to me
that some uniforms or signs on uniforms are wrong. Does anybody could help me, so I can fix them for my addon?
Edit:// After researching I must admit that they are all correct. |
about the wehrmacht, I'm quite sure the uniform are gray, and dark green... I haven't found any green uniform for the auxiliary nazi female soldiers, only gray.
gray was the generic army color, green a special ops color, and black for elite. there were no female in special combat unit, so I assume they cannot exist. For more information, this forum ghater italian and german uniform of the ww2, but subscription is needed. h**p://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=27 |
Doe's anybody has an idea, what I could also optimize?
Perhaps toggle some features easier for more fair gameplay? |
Quote:
btw, your addition are really nice, but what kind of feature you could manage? are you talking about gameplay or grahics? |
Quote:
of the game. I need the english scripts... Quote:
1. Texts 2. Audio 3. Graphix 4. Gameplay (Scripts etc.) Shortly: almost anything ;) |

Thanks:
I also need the english Names of the levels! Thanks AHO |
Hi!
Like I asked Forlik, I ask you too...please make your patch to our Hungarian version too. I'd send you the Hungarian shadvs and luas, ok? And a suggestion to your patch. In the MoT, in briefings there are location and date infos on their maps. Could you take those informations to DtS briefing-maps too? Here is an example picture about Prague mission of MoT: CLICK HERE (Outer territories of East-Prague, Autumn 1944) |
Quote:
My aim is only to make an english version of my mod, so other community members like you can easily translate it to other languages. I would be glad to help you to translate it to hungarian. There is not much text. Only the few strings at the beginning of every level script. There I added a couple of new strings. Not much work for you and other translators. According to the maps: What exactly do you mean? Translation of texts on the map pictures? Yes I considered that already... --- I plan to upload the current state of work, so you and others could test my addon. Addendum: I'm currently uploading... Addendum2: Uploaded. See below! |
Current Work in Progress
2 Attachment(s)
The current state of work can be found here:
*ttp://rapidshare.com/files/169575102/DTS_ADDON_BY_AHO.7z.html Steps: 1. Extract all VFS' with the known unpacker 2. Extract my addon to gamefolder 3. execute backup.bat (it moves the vfs to folder \backup) 4. Start the game as usual The addon is at the moment only available in German. But it shows all new features like ambient musics, ambient sounds, sound fx, improved speeches, enhanced graphics, enhanced gameplay... Have Fun. I'm waiting for your comments and suggestions... Addendum: I tried to replace the Lenin statue by exchanging the model file (SMF) But the result you can see at the bottom: The replaced models are flying over the ground! How can I fix that? |

In level "Payback" there should be two or three different Stalin pictures, but I cannot find them. Does anybody knows where to find them?

(fi.: Winter mission location and date are -> Vitebsk, Byelorussian SSR, Winter 19??*) *I don't remember the date...maybe 1943...??? ...Do you understand me? :) |

Yes I understand now what you mean. I implemented the dates & places on top of the screen of every level at start. See Pic #1. Pic#2 This way? But there is less space on some maps like this one from "Wintercold". |
But that map is one of the in-game map. I meant about briefing-maps...but no matter...it's not too important...it was only an idea. :)

Did you tested my addon? Any comments? |
Unfortunately I can't test anything...my PC is unusable to games for some time past...it restarts when I start any games...

How to simulate night in DtS
It is easy to simulate a level at night with help of the following console commands: 1. Setv r_glow false 2. Setv r_glow_r 0 3. Setv r_glowstrength 0 4. Setv r_glow_b false 5. Setbrightness 0.40 Inside LUA scripts you need the function: "System:ConsoleCommand()" to launch console commands. It's a little big buggy, due to the fact that some regions have an independend light source. But it's interesting... |
I tried everything...maybe there is some kind of hardware incompatibility...I think the easiest resolution will be a new PC...
|
Quote:
|
Menu ok, downloading ok, and then it restarts...but I don't wanna OFF all the forum. :)
|
Doe's any others tested my addon?

Hello everybody, instead of making all of this maybe it will be a good think to translate the MoT in English. I think more people it will be interested of having this game in English instead of play this game in Russian or German version.

LOL...it was really funny post, Dorcky! :)
AHO, please give us a MoT translation! :) Don't you speak Russian? Don't you understand that language? Don't you know Cyrillic letters? NEVER MIND! Just do it! LOL LOL LOL!!! :grin::grin::grin: PS: If MoT will never be officially translated to English (what I doubt it), I'm gonna help to translate it...if there will be someone English mother tongued who corrects my grammar mistakes. ;) |

I`m very sorry, I'm not stupid and i know is everything for fun but i gust want to say that it will be a shame is this game is not translated to English so many more users to play it.

I acquired them from the english demo. Thanks AHO |
WebSite
Hello Community,
I've created a small website for my "DtS Enhancement Addon". You can find it under: http://aho.6x.to Have fun AHO |
nice work AHO, I'll test everything as soon as I can!
I've read about gameplay simplification, about the possibility to know down some NPCs from the front; in my opinion, this could simplificate too much the nature of the gameplay, since the high difficulty is a part of the game design. so, it's good to have this feature, but it could be more realistic to add an alert level using it; after all, if you are knocking down a person in the front, at least he should scream, no? To avoid it, you should hide and hit on the back, and everything respect the nature of gameplay. A tedious gameplay characteristic you should manage, maybe, it's the enemies exploding granades when hit. It is not realistic, since they do it even when they haven't seen you before. At least, it could be useful to make them recognizable on the map, if it isn't possible to manage this. Last idea, is the possibility to use the clothes stained of blood (like on the Hitman saga). Again in respect of gameplay nature, this feature should be added but not whitout is problem... maybe making the alert level rising faster when in prossimity of enemies, after all you won't shot immediatly a colleague only because his jacket is spotted of blood, no? :D However, gameplay changes are welcome but they should be optional or selectable from the game menu (this last possibility is better of course). |
Quote:
btw. Original voice-overs also will be available in localization, so you can switch between original (russian with subtitles) and english in sound options.. p.s. and all original textures will be keeped (no any swastikas removing, etc..) |
