Deus Ex GMDX: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v9 Released!

[Ash]

Are your problems exclusive to A51?

Are your problems exclusive to A51?

It had happened in some areas (can't remember now) but not this frequent. Area51 seems inconsistent in that matter.

BTW, I got exposed to heavy radiation and my health got up to 250 units per limb. Then I used a medbot and it got normal again.

 

[Ash]

Known bug. Finding the cause has not been easy.

 

[Ivan]

Hey Ash I know Underrail is all folks are talking about at the moment, but is GMDX still on for tomorrow? XOXO

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

Delay dude, bad idea to release right now.

 

[Ivan]

If he's comfortable with it then he should release it, otherwise take your time. I just wanted something to play with while Underrail undergoes its first patch.

 

[Ash]

I'm likely going to release. It is ready and all known bugs are fixed ropulos.

It is free and it is DeusEx 1.5 so it should be eternal. Codexers will find a lot to love & it is perfect for inevitable Deus Ex replays and new release droughts. It fixes everything that was wrong with DX and leaves everything that was right. It improves upon legendary game design and is damn near flawless (evident by the codex's lack of bitching), so I'll always have my pride.
Once you play it consider making a donation on the website if you appreciate the art & entertainment. I hope to follow a career of hardcore incline akin to this but I feel forcefully pushed to making half-assed casual mobile apps by the system. It's saddening to say the least.

Revision is worth for reworked maps, GMDX for different gameplay in same maps.

A common misconception. GMDX heavily modifies Deus Ex's maps in a style faithful to the original design. I have spent just as much time on level design as I have in the programming of the game. See: Part 6: Level Design & Graphics for a small sample.

 

[Ivan]

Very much looking forward to GMDX tomorrow Ash. You should also see a donation coming your way soon. Any specific time it's being released?

 

[Ash]

I cannot give a specific time as moddb has a variable authorization process where they check for viruses and such, but I'd say around midday for you judging by your timezone (it's the 20th here already).

 

[PeachPlumage]

Can't wait to reinstall Deus Ex with this mod Expect a donation from me before the new year as I have put aside some money for the likes of GMDX, OpenXcom.

Download link on moddb page doesn't work

Try the alternate mirror given when you go to download it.

I will also be uploading a version without New Vision bundled shortly for those that either already have it, have data caps or simply don't like it and want to play without, although doing the latter is not recommended as GMDX was designed with it from the very start.

 

[Jaedar]

Most good. Will play this (again) when I get bored with underrail.

 

[Infinitron]

Ash For all the work you put into promoting it, I'm surprised there's no general trailer video for the mod.

 

[Ash]

Yeah...I've kinda given up going above and beyond (as a mod) after relatively poor reception to the demonstration video series. I'm just posting to where I know there is interest.
I checked all the DX forums and observed moddb traffic and nobody gave a shit, yet I know the fanboys are out there after seeing everyone lose their minds over Revision. Incline is mostly esoteric these days as we all know. One mod isn't going to change that unfortunately.

On the plus side, the AI stuff is probably the coolest part of your mod (in terms of making the original game look kind of dumb and your mod like a necessary improvement) so that video can work as a trailer, and then there's a link to the subsequent parts.

So when are you updating your site and ModDB page?

 

[Ash]

The AI I am very proud of. They are far more diverse now, especially in combat. In combat all they ever did was mindlessly charge at you, it was pretty retarded.
I've read Deus Ex's AI was programmed primarily by one man alone (not surprising considering there was only three programmers on the team in total) and wasn't finished come release, so with that in mind it is pretty impressive. It simply needed more time.

Ah yes, I need to add the link on the website. Moddb has the news article pending.

 

[Ash]

I dislike the AI vid. It indeed probably has the most interesting content but it is the most poorly presented, being one of the first made. It also has that stupid greasel animation before I fixed it:

 

[Ivan]

where is the exe file?!

 

[Alfons]

Yeah...I've kinda given up going above and beyond (as a mod) after relatively poor reception to the demonstration video series.

Dude, that's not a trailer. A trailer is 60 seconds of awesome shit.

 

[†††]

Should have kept the mod in the fridge for years, tease the community with endless release dates that won't come to fruition and then announce it as a steam exclusive only. That's the way to success.

 

[Ash]

Lol, PC Master Race my ass.

Spoiler

The first spoiler is GMDX release announcement on r/PCMasterRace, buried without a single upvote (default is one).

OK, fair enough. But wait for it...

Anyhow, I've uploaded a version without New Vision bundled on moddb, as well as an alternate mirror independent of moddb's servers.

[Ash]

Try changing renderer. That would be my first guess.

I have always thought that all those "pc master race" people are massive closeted faggots. Maybe their "uncles" raped them with NES controllers in their childhood.
