Oh poo poo, what? That sounds loving insane. Anything close to the video-like effects from K&L2 would make Blood Money loving art. Would this be supported by ATI cards at all? You mentioned Nvidia.

Are you loving kidding me? You can poison his coke? Alternatively you can always push the son down the stairs where the yard leads to the cellar the guard on the upper floor very rarely notices it.

OH well that's a bit of a relief. I always felt it was a bit sloppy to blow up the winch to drop the barrels on him and shoving him down the stairs, whilst great, seems less viable as a hitman method than poisoning coke. I was also disappointed to find that the hammer cannot be used to assassinate people who are sitting down. I was going for a gimmick run.

You know what's a pain in the rear end? When you detonate a bomb to drop a thing on a guy and then he runs out the way. Why do they do this? Is it because a body got found?

The only way I can reliably deal with that guy is knocking him out when he's done a line and out of view of the nearby guard, but before he goes out the door, and then just shooting or poisoning the body before shoving it in the nearby box. Whenever I try the winch thing I invariably kill the guard patrolling next to it and then I can't get Silent Assassin.

Dr Snofeld posted:Whenever I try the winch thing I invariably kill the guard patrolling next to it and then I can't get Silent Assassin. Usually the guard starts patrolling pretty early on and you can usually get him walking around downstairs while Delgado is beneath the palette. Whenever I get close to the guard for the first time he always turns to face me then starts patrolling. I can't get Silent Assassin for some reason even if I do the accident method like that, because the game finds his body even by accident and somehow that turns my rating into Specialist. I just finished a round of it on Normal where I killed the Young Delgado with the palette and the old one by shoving him over the ledge and it gave me Specialist with "1 body found"

Did anyone else put a landmine in the briefcase in Bloodmoney in the casino level? I didn't realize that they were going to take it. It exploded on the 8th floor killing the scientist. (I never even saw him) I ended up having to just strangle the Arab dude and running for it since it doesn't let you leave that area at all.

Ok, cheating in Blood Money is great. Turn on invisibility and infinite ammo and do A New Vintage. Instead of poisoning everyone's wine, I instead sedated it all. Now people will drink their wine, pass out and cause everyone to flip their poo poo until someone wakes up and then continue on. It's bizarrely hilarious to see these guys pass out after drinking the same drink that someone else just passed out from. A New Vintage is becoming my playground.

So does anybody have a reliable way to use cheats with the Steam version? It came up earlier in the thread but nobody really answered. I've used three different trainers and none of them work at all, and there was a "patcher" or something but it looked pretty fishy.

TLG James posted:Did anyone else put a landmine in the briefcase in Bloodmoney in the casino level I just did this two nights ago. I followed Heindrick to his room and saw the briefcase and hatched my devilish plan of placing a mine in it and blowing it up to kill all three targets, since I'd never actually played the level long enough to let the deal take place. I had my finger on the detonator as I waited in a stall in the women's room (there are no female animations for sitting down and peeing so women never use any of the restrooms in the game, while if you try to hide in the mens room the same three diabetics will rudely push past you into the occupied stall to do their business every five minutes). Left the game running while watching TV and listening for the notifications. I hear that little 'something's happening' blip and am greeted with seeing the PIP of the scientist exploding. Unfortunately I'm a disgrace to the resourceful spirit of 47 so at this point I just gunned the other two down with the agency's TMP and ran for the door. Eventually I'll figure out how to SA the level without peeking at youtube. Does the agency's supply crate ever contain anything in any of the other levels? I only remember House of Cards having anything, if you don't count the Mauser in the Opera level.

Press C to access the cheat menu. You have to re-run it every time you start a level. Cheats remain active but the menu won't work otherwise.

Update on toying with shaders, enabling SSAO, etc. Well, first off I forgot the difference between KL1 and 2, and I was using the ones from the 1st game, hence no noticable difference. I checked and it appears that KL2 has it's shaders hidden away somewhere where I can't get to them. Anyway, SSAO can be enabled on Nvidia cards in Blood Money I found, but it's buggy and slows things down quite a bit (it did to my GTX 260 anyway). Here's some screens in-case you want to try it out. The tool is Nvidia Inspector: http://i.imgur.com/24pkB.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6PYE8.jpg

I think the only way you could follow up the explosion and limo kill is to kill the wife with the shattered glass roof of the pool. You see, what happened was the shockwave of the random explosive blast broke the glass over the pool house, killing the wife. The gentleman in the suit just happened to be in the house to console the wife after the tragic loss of her husband in a hit-and-run accident.

Pornographic Memory posted:I think "accident" kills don't count against you for Silent Assassin, and pushing somebody over a railing/down stairs/into a pool is an accident. This is correct. In the Hitman universe a keen swimmer drowning in two feet of water doesn't count as a suspicious death.

Lasher posted:To be fair that only comes up after the "Hillbilly hick" wedding level. So it's more a jab at rednecks than anything homophobic. Actually it can happen in any of the levels. Anyway, if anyone wants to spice up the visuals in H:BM a tiny bit, download the following: http://www.mediafire.com/?sx7ewjwd1map38w Installation: 1) Backup your "Scenes" folder. 2) Go into each Scenes/M##/M##_main.zip folder using WinRar to open them 3) Dump the Shaders folder into the zip file by dragging and dropping it in. Note: DO NOT unpack the zip folder or anything like that, you have to drag & drop the files into there. All it does is add more pronounced shadows basically, which I think makes the game look quite a bit better. If you have a nvidia card, I would also recommend downloading NvidiaInspector to enable SSAO and if you have a really good rig, even Super Grid Sampling AA. *For SSAO to work, simply modify the ambient occlusion bit to the Fallout 3 drop-down setting, or the Left4Dead setting (can't figure out what works better, I recommend experimenting) & simply make sure to enable SSAO in regular Nvidia control panel settings. *For Super Grid Sampling AA (very system intensive, but looks really nice): change Antialiasing Capability so that the bit ends in '10C1'. Then set Antialiasing Behavior Flags to None, AA Mode should be Enhance Application Setting, normal AA to whatever, and then AA Transparency Supersampling to 2-8x Super Grid Sampling (note: can make the image a bit blurry depending on settings; try and make sure the Super Grid AA is 1/2 the setting you chose for regular AA). Not much but I'm a graphics whore so I'm taking whatever I can from my new playthrough.
