I couldn't find the decaying sniper in "Winter Cold". You said he is found behind the trees near the walls, but I checked and couldn't find him. Did you post another unfinished or corrupted file?

I checked it and everything is OK!

Update:// I marked the position on the map. See attachment!

I still can't find it, even in the position you specified...

Also, I found another oddity, not related to the Beta3 modifications:

In "Embassy" the man who distracts most of the people in the staff lounge by playing the piano is one of Volkov's bodyguards, but he does not carry a gun and has civilian AI (ie. cowers at the first sign of trouble).

I've got two solutions to this:

1. Set the pianist's AI to that of an armed guard and give him a Colt 1911 with ammo.

2. Change his character model to another employee.

As for me, I'm planning to use hotel manager model (mission#4) for him because of the new model for Volkov's bodyguard:



This man isn't looks like a pianist

I can't understand why

I think this is the best solution. I'm going to make it like forlik wrote...



Update://

Did you post another unfinished or corrupted file?

Unfortunately yes. I did not add the new "Object" to english version of "equipment.shadvs".
I was confused (like often) because I'm editing the german version, then I had to update
the english and hungarian language files...

I will fix it now.

Update 2:// Take the updated file from attachement an put into folder: \scripts\templates\

Better Pianist in Embassy

Replaced the pianist in embassy with a man in tuxedo (Hote Manager NPC),
because he was a generic british agent.

I'm still not getting anything, and those trees make it very difficult to find...

OK, we try another way:

Do you have activated the console?

If not, then do the following steps:
If yes then start with #4

1. Right click the desktop icon of DtS
2. Select "Properties"
3. Add the parameter -console to the end of the EXE file name
   e.g. "C:\Games\DEATH_TO_SPIES\Death to Spies.exe" -console
4. Copy the content of the attached zip file to the game folder
   (beside the exe file)
5. Start the level Winter Cold new! Do not load a savegame!!!
6. Open the console with button left of "1" (I dunno which one
   on english/american keyboards)
7. Type the command PL_RESTOREPOS and push enter key
8. et voilà you're spawned to the that place ...

While you're still online, I came up with an idea...

In "Project Y", when you fiddle with the smokestation, the nearby female scientist rushes off to inform her male counterpart in the cubicle about the "faulty" machine. You added texted dialogue between characters before, maybe you can add texted dialogue between those two NPCs.

After all, doesn't MoT have this feature?

I did what you asked with success, but unfortunately, the sniper wasn't there...
