0.2beta
A mod that unfortunately never got finished although Flatliner had very promising plans.
What he finished is good nevertheless:
To avoid informing Xerxes of your presence you have to HACK the cameras instead of destroying them. If you fail hacking a camera, by pressing one of the red nodes you will trigger the alarm.
Also you can hack robotic targets.

QUICK GUIDE: Install ADaoB or UARMM first! Unpack into your mod-ready installation of SS2. Or change the file extension to .SS2MOD to use with the SS2 Modmanager. IGNORE CONFLICTING FILES WARNING.

I've updated this to 0.3 which

• adds a completely new death effect to cameras
• hacked cameras are stopped
• enemies don't attack hacked cameras
• tweaked the odds of hacking robots and cameras a bit
• ADaoB 0.2.8. gamesys integrated
• destroying a camera triggers the alarms as well as damaging it

Change list:
0.33 -> 0.34 - fixed double medpatch use
0.32 -> 0.33 - usable with Unified & Revamped .mis mods
0.31 -> 0.32 - fixed bug in Shotgun-grunt's inventory
0.3 -> 0.31 - integrated ADaoB 0.2.9. gamesys changes

Sorry if you want to use this updated version you need to use it along with ADaoB or UARMM which are NVscript ready. There are far too many gamesys changes related to NVscript that this mod is not quite usable without it.

I LOVE this mod, I spawn an army of assault and security bot, i hack them, and then its a "kik some hybrid a** party"

Then my description is simply wrong. I think I only tested destroying the cameras with a wrench. So the alarm was triggered after the first hit.
Feel free to advance this mod. Flatliner left it unfinished and soon after that he left the scene. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

I'll be damned, IT WORKS!
I was trying to do this quite long ago.
Thanks.

What is the basis of the difficulty of the camera hacking?

I just wondered whether the difficulty factors are based off something or programmed from the ground up? There are several aspects to it like minimum requirement and base difficulty% etc. right?

Just want to be sure about this: In the 0.2beta the alarm does not go off if you can destroy the camera in one attack but an alarm will sound if you damage the camera without destroying it. And cameras can be hacked. Correct?

Also I don't understand the last sentence in the first post "Also you can hack robotic targets" - what does this mean? Can't you hack robots and turrets already? I cannot find anything about it in the readme..

Just want to be sure about this: In the 0.2beta the alarm does not go off if you can destroy the camera in one attack but an alarm will sound if you damage the camera without destroying it.

Correct.

Probably there won't be any next version of this since Flatliner is long gone if I'm correct... unless someone else does it. Anyone can edit this shock2.gam and do just what NV said. However it will only work with .mis' with NVscript loaded which is only ADaoB and upcoming update for UARMM. That reminds me..
Mental note for Kolya: Any progress on ADaoB update? 

While being hyperactive ATM I've dug up some file from this post which can be considered an updated version of this...charmed it a bit though with some NV's script so it's ought to be compatibile with upcoming ADaoB 0.2.8 (apply ADaoB first, then this mod). Details in first post.

version update - see first post

version update - overlooked one check in Don't inherit scripts box.
