Revamping Hotel and Embassy has officially begun. The first step is to go through all the NPC entries. In the meantime, here's some screenshots of the minor work I've done with both missions a couple months prior.
Guards in Hotel as well as one agent in Embassy now have a different animation when guarding areas (this animation is used by the FBI agents in Shefferd), and you no longer start Embassy with poison in your inventory. Poison can now be found inside the package where you get the revolver and the garrote. Finally, the mission tips that occasionally pop up in Embassy now only appear on Easy difficulty just like all MoT missions (the same is also true with Removal).

Good evening! You have a lot of work ahead of you. Version 18.0 - Removal is still a long time away. Good luck!

I recently discovered there's a texture I missed when I found a bug with certain textures not loading if you set your language for non-Unicode programs to a different language (like Russian) in the Control Panel. The texture in question is "Rooms_Ñàmin.dds" and it is used for two room models in Hotel - "numer01_room1.SMF" and "numer01_room2.SMF". I failed to notice this because it didn't show up in the console due to it being buried amongst the order of models materializing in the level - there's a limit to how far up you can go in the console. I only found out because I looked at the models themselves in AG's level editor when I was looking for an easier way to tell the various door models used in Hotel apart.
It's easy to fix this bug yourself. First, find the texture in question in the Textures folder:
Rooms_Ñàmin.dds
And rename it to:
Rooms_Camin.dds
Then go into a hex editor and find these models:
Models\Levels\Hotel\numer01_room1.SMF
Models\Levels\Hotel\numer01_room2.SMF
And find the Rooms_Ñàmin.dds entry in each of these models and change it to Rooms_Camin.dds. This texture is used for the fireplaces in those rooms.

Does this require the original MOTmod to install? I can't find the original.

Yes it does require the main MoTmod. What do you mean you can't find it? It's on this forum. forlik migrated it to Google Drive after the previous host site stopped.

I can only find the thread for it on the Russian bit which has the old host site.
Can you give me a link for the Google Drive Download?

Thanks, I'm playing through the Enhancement Addon right now and I'm looking forwards to playing MOTMOD once I finish up with that.
