Weapon mods?

Post by Cybernetic pig »

Hello. Is there any mods that change the visuals of the weapons in Deus ex vanilla? I have New Vision & HDTP demo, now all i need is a mod that changes the weapons visuals.
The gep gun looks fine vanilla but the mini crossbow, pistol, assault rifle & two shotguns look terrible, others are ok, and attaching scopes and lasers to them does nothing on-screen which is the only thing (aswell as the gun visuals themselves) that has ever annoyed me about DX. Cant find any mods that focus on the weapons. why no gun love?

Thank you to the creators of HDTP and New Vision, game looks great.
Although DX has never been about the graphics it is a bonus to make the game attractive visually, especially when you have seen all there is to see, multiple times! I crave gun visual mods! :)

HDTP is doing this, and in fact has almost finished doing this (in fact some of the newer weapons were included in the first release).

DX is not mod-friendly: you can't just drop files in like you can with more modern, sensible games. Thus one reason nobody else has done this is because it would be inherently incompatible with HDTP anyway.

The other reason, of course, is that it's fucking hard. Animating for DX is a clusterfuck of painfulness.

So just wait a little while.

(EDIT: and I removed your accidentally duped thread: hope this is ok)

Ahh great news your still going! I shall wait with great anticipation!
Thanks.

Which weapons were updated in the demo? I tried the stealth pistol, pistol, mini crossbow, gep gun, assault rifle & sniper rifle and never saw a difference. maybe I did not install properly.

Also some textures/objects such as mirrors and pictures are "fuzzy" from a short distance until you get up close, is that just because its the demo or is that new vision related? or actually probably because my crappy laptop cant take it.

Once the full version is released I shall consider a donation if you accept them.

Not entirely sure about the demo (since of course my copy of HDTP is the 'working' copy that we're making, rather than the 'released' copy), but the crowbar and the baton for sure were HDTPified.

If you haven't already, download and play TNM: it has the HDTP versions of the pistol and the sniper rifle (though both, I believe, only as unique weapons by default).

I think all our pistols and sniper rifles are HDTP versions, actually. The unique versions just have different skins.

Well ZeroPresence's rifle has had an urban camo skin since 1.0.0, but it's pretty low-contrast, so hard to make out. I made it more obvious for 1.0.5.

1.0.5 will be beautiful. :giggle:
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.
