Might it be some sort of audio setting being changed in the HDTP.exe , or ini?
You could try using HDTP with the Shifter mod. It adds HDTP support without any exe or ini changes... it just overwrites your u, and int files. I doubt it's the cause, but might as well suggest it anyway.
Got a huge freaking problem. Installed HDTP, did the fix at the beginning of the topic, so now it actually runs. The problem is that now I can't load any save files. When I do, it says "Failed launching URL. Can't find Class in file "Class.DeusEx.AmmoCombatKnife." Also, the Shifter mod is non-operative when I load using the HDTP icon to play the game. Help would be appreciated.
The thing is though, when I use the regular icon and shifter, some of the new objects load (Gunther, bottles, the crowbar) while others (like the new boxes, barrels) don't change into their HD form.
Did you move the HDTPanim.utx file like the Shifter readme says? There's also this mentioned in part of the readme:
"This only happens the FIRST time you load each map, so if you install HDTP in the middle of a play-through the current level won't get the HDTP facelift."
As for the combat knife ammo, that's because you're trying to open a shifter save in normal Deus Ex.
I have a clean install of Deus Ex. I have the latest (1.112) official patch for the game. I downloaded the HDTP and installed it AFTER running the game normally once.
The normal game runs well. But the HDTP won't work for some reason. The message that pops up at failed launch reads:
Mind that the path to your game probably isn't the same as mine (in fact what I gave above isn't the actual path to my game ), but the important thing is the quotes around the ini paths. Perhaps that will help. If you already have quotes there, pay my suggestion no mind
I had an urge to play deus ex again so I got the high def tex pack. however. I got the error where I needed to change the shortcut link and I did that. Do I have to start a TOTALLY new game because when I loaded my save game (the mole people tunnels) the bins on fire were pinkish. Not the bright texture missing pink more this shade of pink
I admit I've not tried a totally new game. Will that fix my problem ? I could get a screenie if it would help?
Nothing in the installer setup would produce this kind of error, so I suspect what you're seeing is indeed the HDTP barrelfire, but on your particular graphics setup it looks pinkish (it IS a kinda rusty red colour, after all). A screenie would indeed help confirm this, but if this is the case: then I'm afraid that's just the way it is.
On looking at it again it looks fine.. its just that the far one looks a bit bright. IF its ok and not a corruption aor antything then I will continue to play on !!
