Re: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v7 Release

And no, they don't make any path impossible to take. They are still just a minor annoyance that are still very easy to bypass without use of any specialized tools. Yeah, there's at least one somewhat early in the game. Believe me I wasted a couple hours of my life proving it. "Security camera is a ...

Re: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v7 Release

Oh nice, now the NPCs in GMDX are even scarier. ;-) I watched the video, this seems really cool actually. A few niggles on AI behavior generally: 1. GMDX - Cameras alarm on spotting corpses. This makes the game more challenging, but it leads to some weird contradictions. So cameras are smart enough ...

Re: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v7 Release

Oh, and I thought of another thing: I really, really like the stamina system. I think it's realistic and adds tension and interest to the game. However there's one thing that bothers me about it, which is that stamina doesn't generate while JC is crouched but stationary. That's weirdly unrealistic. ...

Re: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v7 Release

Yeah, I know what you mean about grenade balancing being so critical. I just think there's a solution to make the playstyle viable and it would add a lot of interest to the game. If more explosives did become available somehow at master, whether through tinkering or breaking open TNT crates or just ...

Re: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v7 Release

I would be opposed to allowing the Spy Drone glider. This smacks to me of grenade climbing, it's not emergent game play so much as an exploit of the clipping system that leads to a broken game. To me, I always assumed the Spy Drone was microscopic (it is after all a "nano" augmentation) and that exp...

Re: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v7 Release

Cybernetic Pig, Is there any truth to the rumor that you have joined the Revision team? Has progress on GMDX v8 stalled due to this or some other reason? If it's true that you have joined the Revision team, will the features and enhancements of GMDX be incorporated into Revision? I have read of some...

Re: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v7 Release

Gas grenades insta-K.O low-middle tier NPCs reasonably quietly at master skill, EMP & scrambler obviously help bypassing cameras and turrets. Only LAMs are reasonably anti-stealth. Yeah, when I said "blasting one's way through the game" I meant in the context of your earlier statement that TNT stic...

Re: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v7 Release

The problem with adding more explosives to the game is that they are an extremely useful multi-purpose tool. Blow open locked doors, blow up cameras, turrets, alarm units, robots & NPCs, they have the capability to blow up multiple targets also. Too many explosives will throw the RPG systems/genera...

Re: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v7 Release

Very impressive work Cybernetic Pig. I especially like all the new non-lethal options such as the "stun PS20" and "taser darts". I had a brainstorm a few weeks ago about an alt-fire mode for the plasma rifle that would work something like a lightening gun - it would stun organics and do EMP damage t...

Re: GMDX Advancement Mod v6.2 Release

In response to the comment that nobody is playing Deus Ex - I am still playing Deus Ex and by the fact that GMDX just won (editor's choice) Mod of the Year and the fact that Revision continues to go to the top ten popularity on Moddb every single time they even release a teaser update, I'd say there...

Re: GMDX Advancement Mod v6.1 Release

Cybernetic Pig,

I'll be glad to help you test it if you can let me know how to get my hands on the current build.

Re: GMDX Advancement Mod v6.1 Release

Cybernetic Pig, I've confirmed that the Kentie/OTP UI scaling fix is all or nothing. Either you get blurry HUD and usable scope or crisp HUD and tiny scope. I think G-Flex figured out a fix for it. GMDX seems to have the pepper gun issue where the gun has effectively zero range. I believe the bug is...

Re: GMDX Advancement Mod v6.1 Release

Oh, and I do like where the grenade thing is headed. It's more in line with where you've gone with everything else and definitely addresses the issue of the usefulness of the demolition skill. Oh, but I want to say that as it sits in 6.1 I think the demo skill is a little broken. Nobody in the worl...

Re: GMDX Advancement Mod v6.1 Release

Lower resolution or disable OTP fix (option in Kenties "configuration") are your options I believe. I haven't tried it yet to be sure, but I believe that the Kentie option would be a tradeoff between normal sized scope with HUGE HUD/toolbelt, versus normal toolbelt and tiny scope. I think G-Flex fi...
