Really? maybe studying the script from MoT could help bring this feature on DtS...

In Germany it would be illegal, so assume you have to buy from import...

To avoid it, you should hide and hit on the back, and everything respect the nature of gameplay.

Well, the game is too hard. Even on easiest difficulty level. But don't
worry. I add the feature of "knocking down from the front" only to
three or four NPCs.

The game is not realistic in many parts. For example, why can the
doctor in concentration camp blow my cover? Does he now every
soldier of that camp? (There are ca. 100)?

Why do I die, if I stay more than 40 seconts in the regrigerator room in Hotel? Shortly: Not everything is realistic and even not fair in the game.
So I simplified only few things. Most of my changes are improvements.

I don't know how. But it sounds interesting

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?

Yes, as a big fan of the Hitman serie I miss this feature. But I think
it is not possible wihout original developer tools.

As I said above, there are only few changes. Selektion from the menu
is not possible. I regret.

In my opinion then it's better add this possibility to all NPC, but only at the lowest difficulty levels (like MoT)...

oh, and I can provide an inno setup script to make a nice installer of you mod, if you are interested...

I would like, but it is not possible due to the fact, that I need the
NPC IDs, but not every NPC has an ID. And I can't create one
without an level editor (swd files!)

But even if, it was to much work

Thanks I do not need a InnoScript ATM, because my addon is still not
finished.

I've seen lots of German (BRD and DDR too) and European co-prod. series and films about WWII and that era...and the Nazi flags, symbols etc. were not fake on those movies...

Maybe you are wrong. For example in my country not only the Nazi things are forbidden, but Soviets too - except when they would be use in order to scientific, art or documentary representations. I think such kind of games like DtS or MoT ARE DOCUMENTARY (and maybe ART) REPRESENTATIONS!

Well you are both right: Nazi symbols etc. are in germany...

• forbidden in computer games (also 18+ games)
• allowed in movies

Strange?! Yes, but the Germans are strange people

[sorrenti]

yes, and I add that even in Italy it's illegal the use of svastikas, as well as the "fascio littorio", the fascism' symbol...
it's not illegal the communism' symbol, since the strong response it got in the after-war (especially where I live, thanks to the wide partisan movement), now in great decadence (used mainly by syndicates and social parties)...

Oh! I've forgotten. There were already some NPCs that could be
knocked down frontally:

1. Level "Cannibal" the target person Dietrich Meltzer
2. Level "Stronghold" the target person Boris Polyakov
3. Level "Removal" the target person without a name (the informer)
4. Level "Training" some soviet soldiers

I dunno why haggard added this feature to the NPCs #2 and #3
Because these are not enemies???

Oh man, I remembered about '80s and a verse of a song...in the "Lasciatemi cantare"...

...
Buongiorno Italia gli spaghetti al dente
e un partigiano come Presidente
con l'autoradio sempre nella mano destra
un canarino sopra la finestra
...
