Hints:

The security cameras can be shut off one of two ways: find the
switch or use a fire arrow. Guards who come across the unconscious or dead bodies of their
compatriots will sound the alarm. Be sure to stuff the bodies
in out-of-the-way places. Bodies of water (pools, streams)
work very well. If you must fight with the sword, use short, choppy strokes.
Hitting a guard will often break his swing. Pick up everything you can get your hands on. You'll always be
able to use the extra cash.

Increase Cash (Bug Exploitation):

Just before completing the mission, do a save or quicksave.
Complete the mission and save it in a different save slot.
Reload your last save or quicksave before completing the
mission. Complete the mission again.
The statistics screen should now have ADDED TOGETHER the
loot from BOTH mission completions. Apparently, the variable
which stores treasure amount at the end of the mission is not
being cleared between loads.
You can keep doing this until you have all the cash you need
to buy out the store at the loadout screen for the mission
immediately following.

Level select:

Make a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "user.cfg" file in the game directory. Scroll down to find the lines:

;Running Interference
;starting_mission 1

;Shipping ... and Receiving
;starting_mission 2

There are two lines for each mission. To start at the desired mission, delete the semicolon before the second line, for example ";starting_mission #". When a new game is started, you will begin at the selected mission.

More money:

Save the game immediately before completing a mission.
Complete the mission as usual, and save the game in a
different save position. Reload save that was made before
the mission was completed. Complete the mission again.
The statistics screen will combine the money from both
missions. Repeat this to earn as much as needed.

the file, then add the following lines

with out worrying about the no killing rule in some missions.
