Deus Ex GMDX: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v9 Released!

[MediantSamuel]

I'm playing hardcore - and I noticed that when I was carrying a explosive barrel from one loading zone to another it changed to a normal metal barrel. Hardcore is an extremely challenging mode - I don't recommend it for 99% of the players out there. I'm yet to see a YouTube walk-through on the net, so I'm wondering if it has been completed successfully...I cant even get out of the cell area after been captured.

In the cell area you just need to sneak out, grab the melee weapon off the desk and then go inside one of the closer cells. The code is in the datacube next to the weapon.

Wait for the guard to walk past and then walk up behind him for the ol' one shot to the back of the head.

I'm currently leaving VersaLife level 2 on Hardcore and the worst bits for me have been both NSF warehouses.

PS2 adventures continue:
West station is blocked off from upper platform by door and electric field.

Spoiler

Though since vanilla level is much more open-ended, it wouldn't work.

There are also two security rooms with some equipment on upper platform:

Spoiler

And a utility room

Spoiler

Broken train car is better integrated in the map:

I'd rank it 6/10 on the difficulty scale. If that.
Requires good knowledge of the game though, ideally. It's basically Ash mode. It's designed for myself.

Also, isn't there an unused graveyard music track? The level's silence always felt odd to m

I can't do anything about that realistically.

That reminds me, and this one is a longshot: Could anything be added for the scenario where you keep the Ambrosia vial from the Superfreighter, don't give it to Dowd, and bring it to Tong? The first time I did that I was disappointed that nothing happened. I don't know if there's much you COULD do, though, as there isn't any existing conversation for it I imagine.

Yeah, dialogue needed.

I'm on Realistic by the way.

Does anyone else experiencing a weird sound issue while talking to the soldier just outside of Queens Tower in HK?

 

[Ash]

Yes. My best guess is that sound file is corrupt, the audio file is not in the right format or something. Yet I don't remember it happening vanilla. Maybe it's the GOTY version though. Odd either way.

I got a weird echoing sound bug there on my current playthrough, every time an NPC were walking his footsteps sounded like looped, echoing dialogue or something.

I just kept playing and it went away by itself shortly afterwards.

 

[Ash]

I just loaded the GOTY version of the map w/the unofficial map patch. Happens there too. It's triggered by talking to the Military Police NPC outside Queens Tower, as Latelistener mentioned.

 

[KlauZ]

Come to think of it, even better solution to InvToolbelt would probably be setting it to holster button instead of use button

 

[Ash]

Just made another AI breakthrough.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Just made another AI breakthrough.

wait, that still can be improved?

damn you glorious little shit. looks like i'm gonan replay dx1 with gmdx 9 soon (i wish i was still NEET at times like this)

 

[Black]

Just noticed that Revision has cheevos on Steam.
I'm sorry, I have to...

 

[Ash]

Yes. Immersion-breaking pop-ups. Moment to moment choice-influencing trophies. In Deus Ex.

The Deus Ex fanbase asked for this by falling for the hype while ignoring the true incline.

Holy shit, that looks better than I remember. May have to pinch that image for promo material.

Moment to moment choice-influencing trophies.

Thats why i think game should get rid of exp points.

 

[Ash]

As has been mentioned before, the exp only influences exploration, which already is influenced in a multitude of ways with things like weapon mods, aug upgrades, ammo, credits, and general exciting things to see and do. Therefore there's no harm done if the placement of the exp rewards are good...which arguably it isn't 100% of the time.

 

[Ash]

Exploration is a requirement to complete objectives anyway, as there are no objective markers. Half the experience of Deus Ex is in the exploration. It should be encouraged.

I will and have tried to improve the placement of exp bonuses, but not by much.

 

[Black]

Does the game autosave on exit if you're playing on realistic/hardcore?

 

[Latelistener]

Haven't noticed any autosaves on exit on Realistic.

 

[Black]

Very sad!

 

[.Pixote.]

You can exploit the saving between the different loading areas...cheaty, but sometimes necessary on hardcore. I can't recommend master lock-pick and electrical enough, with the bonus perk that allows single picks on locks - panels, it really makes collecting tools and picks less critical.

Question: The secondary goal of drinking with the Dragon heads at the Lucky club (Hong Kong)...how to make this happen?

Just talk to Gordon Quick on the second floor near the bar (where barista was, at least when he was alive in my case). I wasn't able to locate Max Chen though, but he appeared after the second visit to VersaLife on his usual place. Really weird kind of celebration party, to be honest.

 

[.Pixote.]

Is it possible to make bodies gib if thrown from decent heights, Versalife 3rd level balconies for instance. ATM they just fall flat and pool blood. They wouldn't need to explode like watermelons, but some messy carnage would be entertaining. Allowing them to kill or injure NPC with direct hits could be interesting.
