Mod/Patch/Enhancement

AHO · #1 08-19-2008, 07:39 PM

Hello community,
currently I'm working on an unofficial patch (mod) for the german and perhaps englisch version of DTS.

Following is planned:

German subtitles (by just translating the great work of hykao)
Blood
No-Logos
Uncensored Textures (the same work as the 1st mod from hykao. The textures are taken from the russian version.)
Correction of spelling errors. Also on textures. For example in the spy school there are sign for the levels which are not in good German (Das Ergeschoß etc.)
... many more

Does some body know how to change/edit:

the difficultly level
faces of NPCs, 'cause there are too many clones

Thx
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.

They are so called Game File Archives (VFS=Virtual File System)
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

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.

Hello,
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...
