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...

Great! Let's see...

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

Nope. I meant: in the MoT briefings above maps there are location (fi.: Outer territories of East-Prague) and date (fi.: Autumn 1944) infos of missions (like you can see on linked pic -> in English: "Outer territories of East-Prague, Autumn 1944"), but in the DtS there aren't location and date infos above maps in briefing menu of missions...so could you add those infos to DtS briefing-maps?
(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 It was December 1943.
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.

There are no other maps in DtS! They are the same. Shown ingame and
before level start (briefing).

No wait, the idea is good!

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...

Did you try to re-install DirectX?

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...
