Here are some suggestions.


-Paycheck mission

The village Hall (where the three trucks are) doesn't have a command car next to it. Place one there. Officers don't drive in trucks.

Place a Kubelwagen on the edge the village where there are three soldiers talking.

-Cannibal Mission

Replace the kubelwagen which parked besides the HQ with a Command Car. Replace the other kubelwagen with a Command Car where the two officers are standing and talking.

-Winter Storm

Place a command car besides the HQ next to the other one that doesn't work. Or make the non-working one work.

-Bridge Mission

-None of the snipers on the rooftops have ammo for their rifles. Give them at least two or three magazines each.


I'll come up with more.

Very good ideas. Thanks I will try to implement them, except the
reactivation of the Mercedes in level "Wintercold". I dunno how to
make it accessable.
-----------------------------
Update:// When you write command car, you mean the Mercedes?

I figured out, what the other three arguments mean: They are angles,
but it's a little strange. It seems that the order is y,z,x. I'm not sure.

Sample:
Level.CreateWorldItem( "Sten" , "Weapon" , 47.90, -41.38, 191.51, 0.0, 2.0, 0.0, 'idSten' );

In Level "Paycheck" I added three Mercedes' in front of the bulding with
the target officers. This is more realistic, because officers do not go by
feet or with a truck

At the beginning of the level, at the church I added a Kubel-Jeep,
because there are three talking soldiers, but only one motor cycle
for two persons.

Pics:
#1 Mercedes in front of the HQ with Meyer-Mader.
#2 Mercedes in front of the hut with Knut.
#3 Mercedes in front of the house with Bartels
#4 Kubel jeep at the church.

Note #4: On the screenshots it seems that the left back tire is in the ground. This is not correct. It only seems so due to the fact that the
player is lying and the ground is not flat.

Thanks to Sgt. Schnitzel for this ideas...
The rest ist coming tomorrow

Perfect!

Is there a freeware hex editor that has a base converter tool? I have HxD but it doesn't have one. And what exactly is a hex text dump?

I dunno, but try the shareware version of HexWorkshop. I think the
small tool (Base Converter) will work without registering.

A hex dump is a text file containing the the binary data as you can see it
in the hex editor. I export to this file type because of copy & pase for
numeric conversions of the coordinates.

I replaced the Kubel jeep in front of the HQ in level "Cannibal" with a
Mercedes. This is more realistic, because the Officers usually did not
use Jeeps.

The second Kubel jeep cannot be replaced due to an unknown Bug.
It's the car near the officer who is talking with an SS-guard. This car
is also not accessable and therefore not drivalbe...

Thanks for Sgt. Schnitzel for this idea.

In level Wintercold there is now a drivable Mercedes in front of the
building with the first marked Officer.

The other one, which were in front of the other building, is not
accessable due to the fact, that it uses an other model without
animations. Sorry

Thanks again to Sgt.Schnitzel
