Clean easy and working tutorial?
I just reinstalled Deus Ex Goty, updated it with the latest patch (1112fm), started it once. Then I installed HDTP, after that New Vision. I copied the D2D9 D3D10 and OpenGL renderers to the System folder and edited the DeusEx.ini for 1920x1080.
After all that it didn't work like I want. Just vanilla DX, no NV no HDTP.
Then I tried with dxfix and the changed exe to set the settings easier, works all fine for vanilla.
I tried D9, D10 and OpenGL.
When I start HDTP I don't get the game menu so I can't start a game.
Please could anybody make an acutal tutorial to get this to work?
Also I would like: download this package (that contains NV, HDTP, renderers) unpack into Deus Ex folder, everythings fine.
Also, where can I set AA and anisotropic filtering or so?
Sorry for my requests, but I tried several instructions and spended a few hours to get the graphics mods to work, but I don't get a suitable result.

Re: Clean easy and working tutorial?
Doesn't the new exe give you the graphic options at the menu?
Anyhow, I hope this helps with your installation of HDTP and NV. http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-nameless- ... -with-mods

Re: Clean easy and working tutorial?
Okay, now I tried just this instruction:
http://thinkpadius.com/content/deus-ex- ... ay-it-mods
After that HDTP works, I have the new object models. But NV doesn't work. I exactly followed the instruction, and even at the step were you have to compare the changes within the training level it looks like before, just maybe with higher resolution because of the replaced exe.
Another issue is: When I start vanilla DX and set the resolution to 1920x1080 with the replaced exe it seems to have that resolution. When I start HDTP it's just 1280x720. In the DeusEx.ini the viewports are set to 1920x1080, in the changed exe the same, but the game just gives me 1280x720.
What graphic options at the menu do you mean? The menu before the game starts or the ingame menu? I just managed the settings through the exe menu before the game starts.

Re: Clean easy and working tutorial?
Is this the exe you have now? http://kentie.net/article/dxguide/
I thought after you chose your options with the new exe and started DX the menu that came up after that had various graphic options.
My resolution is 1920X1080 and that's what DX runs it as.
New Vision has a readme with the file download. Did you follow the instructions it gives?
Edit: Apologies, that graphic option thing must have been in the previous exe, this new one doesn't have it...I just checked.

Re: Clean easy and working tutorial?
Okay, I think I got it.
I had to change in the HDTP.ini the line
to
this works. With that I have HDTP and NV.
Same with the resolution, I also had to changes the viewports values from the HDTP.ini to 1920x1080.
Now I just need to know where I can make the setting for anisotropic filtering and AA, then I would be happy.
@booby 55: Yes, that's the exe.
I had to change in the HDTP.ini the line
Code: Select all
GameRenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
Code: Select all
GameRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

Re: Clean easy and working tutorial?
Haha! Good stuff. Sorry I can't help with the AA etcetera. Someone cleverer than me might have more of a clue.

Re: Clean easy and working tutorial?
So, now I found out how to do it. Cost me more time than I wanted to spent for this.
I have written down all the steps, so we have a little tutorial. I hope it's all right. Maybe it is not necessary to replace the exe when you use HDTP, I will test it when there is time.
1. Install Deus Ex.
2. Install latest Patch.
3. Start game, so the configs are created. Maybe just start the training to be sure.
4. Download the fixed exe (http://kentie.net/article/dxguide/files/DeusExe-v2.zip) and replace the original one in the System folder.
5. Download NV, extract the texture files (*.utx) to Textures and replace when prompted. Put the OpenGLDrv.dll into the System folder.
6. Open the DeusEx.ini and change the line to Under the line [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice] add a line with: UseS3TC=True.
7. Download and install HDTP. Open the preferences of the created shortcut and include the values in quotation marks in target
Like:
8. Open the HDTP.ini in System and also change the line to
If Deus Ex supports your resolution natively, your are finished here. If not, open DeusEx.ini and HDTP.ini and set the values from viewport to your resolution.
Like:
To set AA and anisotropic filtering do the following:
Open the HDTP.ini (DeusEx.ini for vanilla).
Find the line [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice].
This is for 16xAA (you can increase or decrease the number if you want). The first three lines should be like this (if not, make it so):
For anisotropy filtering change:
to
and
to
I also set UseTNT to 0, cause today it seems unnecessary.

That sounds about right.
Glad you sorted it!
