Evil Denton

[DDentonas]

Hey there guys! Nice forum you have here! I've been a fan of Deus Ex since it came out! First "mod" i've played was Double crossed. I've done some mapping in UT, nothing serious, and from time to time i thought about making a DX map. Unfortunately i never found a tutorial so i gave up. I kept playing Deus Ex though, and since shifter mod came out, i am having double the fun with it!


So anyway, after this small introduction i will state the purpose of my visit here. I wrote this idea at Deus Ex: Health Regeneration forum.

I am replaying Deus Ex and i just noticed that there is nothing stopping you from mugging people who sell you stuff, or be mean to other people. Like the guy next to the 747. I wish i could say to him "Give me the stuff or i'll take you down for cooperating with terrorists" or something like this.

So i thought i could make a mod that gives you choices in dialog that make JC sound like an asshole. I could even hire some people who can mimic voices to do the voices for those dialogs!

A comment would be great guys. Suggestions, ideas, support, telling me how awesome i am. All of them help!

Blade Hunter, a very talented game designer with interesting ideas, suggested to look at off topic productions for help.

So here i am! I dont know shit about Deus Ex editing, but i learn quickly. I would like to know what do you think of my idea, if it can be done, what would i need to know and point me to some tutorials if it is not a trouble for you

Sounds like a fun idea, good luck

Vulgar language!? I DEMAND HE BE BANNED! I AM DEEPLY OFFENDED!!

Just kidding, I couldn't care less. :p

Welcome to the forums!

It sounds like a good idea indeed! I'm sure one of the people who CAN help you (I can barely make maps for DOOM, much less modify a game past changing ammo amounts :p ) will assist you in no time!

Unless it's a slow day, in which case you might have to wait about... 3 hours. Maybe. :p

[EDIT]

Jonas is a fast-typing ninja poster. :p

I am deeply sorry you've been offended good sir. When i am talking with these people, i have to talk their language. Would you like some tea and biscuit?

[Jaedar]

Didn't fair offtopica recently come into possession of the PDX tutorials?

Sure those could be useful.

And yeah sounds like a cool idea, as long as you find someone who can do a good impression of JC, or manipulate existing dialogue into new one.

I wrote this idea at Deus Ex: Health Regeneration forum.

That's classic

Sounds like an interesting mod. I would love extra Dialogue for JC. Really let you diversify the character and let you choose whether to play Nice Guy or Evil Bastard.
I'd definatly download and play

Here are a couple of Tutorial Sites..
One hosted, graciously, by Off Topic Productions is Tacks Deus Ex Lab
http://offtopicproductions.com/tacks/

And the awesome Universal Constructor has some cool tutorials.
http://www.planetdeusex.com/constructor/tutorials.htm

Hope they help good luck.

As I recall the universal constructor site link is better for conversation related stuff (and Tack's for..pretty much everything else ). What you're looking at doing seems to largely require conedit and not a lot else.

One of the first things you'd need to do would be to export the conversation files, so for that I'd use hexy's DX extractor: http://deusexextractor.at.tut.by/download.html

I must thank'st thou for thy most gracious of offers, but I must ever-so-politely decline as I have a disdain for tea and biscuits are rather dry and get most hard to swallow fairly quickly.

[nerdenstein]

I've used both Tack's and Universal Constructor and found them both to be equally as helpful but yeah I think in terms of Convosations tutorials, go with UC tutorials.

Damn why haven't I come across this sooner
Constantly finding new DeusEx Mods and Utilities that become more and more useful/helpful/easier to mod with.

Someone should make a big archive of like.. everything Deus Ex related
Thats probably a bit much to ask for actually. Maybe just mods/fixes/utilities
Still a bit much..

Cant start UnrealEd. I get missing MSVBVM50.dll error. Any idea guys?

[Jonas]

This should go some way towards what you want:

DX Editing used to have a great list of all the tools and utilities a modder'd need, but well... that site is history

Most funniest thing that could be done would be in the style of Deus Ex Malcavian where you have the voices all altered to sound like the words you wanted.

"desperate your turn"
"desperate"
"desperate"
"desperate"..

"GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE DENTON!"

I was crying after seeing those two videos. Too funny.

I thought they were re-doing the DX Editing Site?

Ok, in case anyone else has this problem, you will need to download VB runtime from microsoft.

I support having dick-move options for J.C.
If it's any help, my brother does fairly decent J.C./Paul voices.
