Information on 'Silent Assault' - from Kuki

"I'm going to make an addon called Silent Assault. It won't be a go-ahead-and-kill-everybody game, just like most of the addons are. I want it to make the player think. You'll have to sneak between enemy patrols, kill quietly single enemies and hide their bodies to avoid alarm and so on (like in Commandos:BEL - BTW, a great game). I won't probably begin it before June, but I'm already collecting good ideas. Here's some of them:

• new maps, graphics & sounds, of course
• light shading (for walls & objects)
• guards don't see at long ranges, and if it's dark or foggy their seeing range is reduced
• weapons: knife, pistol, pistol with silencer, machine gun, grenades, flamethrower, sniper rifle
• silent knife
• the knife kills with one attack if the guard doesn't know about you
• silenced machinegun (it's heard from some range, but not on the whole floor)
• crawling, so the guards can see you only from a short range
• hiding behind objects (they block some of the bullets and the guards' seeing range is reduced by objects)
• alarm boxes - if a guard is alarmed and gets to an alarm box he starts an alarm on the whole level (or only on certain floors - "alarm floors" full of nazi soldiers ) [like in RTCW]
• if you start an alarm on one level, there're more guards on the next ones
• a torch - you see better in darkness, but the guards also see you better
• no super-hard-to-kill bosses
• new music (new songs, not only new songs order)
• guards get alarmed if they see a dead guard, so you have to take dead guards with you and hide them in safe places
• no treasures [yeah, they're stupid, who will go around bunkers and seek for heavy, shiny things]
• holes and ladders
• many outside levels
• some of the doors don't close automatically
• some of the doors opening like in Ken's Labirynth
• speed reduced if you're carrying heavy weapons or too much ammo
• you can throw away a weapon or ammo to move faster
• running allowed only for short distances
• Panzerfaust soldiers
• nazi snipers
• dogs are more dangerous
• kicking
• exploding barrels
• light switching on and off (when the lamps are on there's really more light in the bunker, so the guards can see better and so does the player)
• pointer appears after you press some key (or you can have it all the time)
• some short movies (???)
• medals for completing mission with good stats
• some useful items can be found in parachute drops
• you can carry exploding barrels (used as bombs)
• you have to reload weapons
• you can find some nazi clothes and dress into them - enemy won't attack you
• rats
• you can get to a stationary Heavy Machine Gun and kill enemies having a lot of ammo (like in RTCW)
• snow, desert and forest environment
• improved aiming system (you won't shoot at the guy who is nearest but at the one you're really aiming at)
• a little improved AI (yeah, there's no AI in Wolf, so it won't be hard to improve it :-))
• guards won't come close to you when you're using a flamethrower (it has limited range of course)
• landmines
• maybe trucks if that guy who made them allows me to use them
• enemies killed with a flamethrower don't die in the standard way, but they burn
• gas mask
• civilians
• you can throw the knife (?)
• friendly guys (???)

If you have some other ideas, please mail me, but I want SA to be rather realistic, so no force-fields, holowalls, teleports, etc. are allowed.
