The bad thing is that I need the script ID of an NPC. These are defined
in the SWD map file. I don't know where and how. It's seems that they are
encrypted or something like that...

Short: There are some IDs in the scripts and I can only modify them
unfortunately

IDs are not encrypted and you can find them using search command in any hex-editor. But they stored as numbers, not as strings. So, to find them you should reverse your request. You can modify these IDs or create your own (DWORD with offset 0x3D after NPC's name).

Example for D. Meltzer (YAZK):

Interesting:
I found his ID at adres 0x00EF68FC as a reverse string (KZAY).
But it is not a stored as a number? It's just a reverted string

Update://
If a NPC does not have an ID, can I give him a new one?
Is the space inside the swd empty? How long have the
ID to be? I think four bytes (chars)?

I mean reverse form, like for numbers (little endian byte order).

Yes, as I say before, you can create new IDs.

DWORD (4 bytes).

By the way, where did you get the German voice clips? Some of them came from Commandos and Call of Duty...
