Actually you dont have to crouch while sneaking, you can just walk. I just tried it and they only hear you when running... Cant believe i went around crouched the whole game when there was really no need. And if you dont have to crouch then why is the ass the same as the head? Really whats up with that.

 

[Jinn]

I know this is kind of stupid, but is there any way to get this mod working in tandem with steam? As in logging gameplay hours, steam overlay, etc?

 

[KlauZ]

peoples heads and asses are the same thing

Actually more than that, Navarre went down from one pistol shot in the ass but easily survive multiple in the head. Maybe its the armor thing...

 

[Ash]

In DX peoples heads and asses are the same thing, you get 8 times the damage. Dont know why. Maybe its some kinda statement from Warren Spector like people have their heads in their asses or something. Hmm i guess i would have to play vanilla game to really get inside his brain and figure it out.

Vanilla:

Headshot: x8
Torso: x2
Torso back (sneak attack): x12
Everywhere else: x1

GMDX:

Headshot: x8
Headshot back (sneak attack): x12
Torso: x3
Torso back (sneak attack): x12
Everywhere else: x1

GMDX adds the back of the head as a viable sneak attack target (like in Thief - you have to be right behind them), and also makes the torso a little more vulnerable for realism and gameplay purposes. Some weapons also have a "headshot multiplier bonus" for balancing purposes e.g sawed off shotgun has a x9 headshot multiplier while the assault shotgun has a x8 multiplier. Most new statistics can be viewed from the weapon description.
I also fixed a bug where enemies who are "stunned" (prod), further damage to them would be overridden with a x4 multiplier be it headshots or sneak attacks. So headshotting a stunned enemy did half the damage, which was not good.
The back of the head being accepted as a sneak attack also fixes the issue of sneak attacking people sitting on chairs where their back/ass was not exposed.

You can actually add and run any application through Steam. Go to the top-left corner of the Steam client, press Games and select "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library".

From there you can select among a list of programs you have installed, or browse for the specific file (this would be the custom deusex.exe).

You can now use the Steam overlay with the custom executable, and it will show up in your library like a normal game. I don't know if it tracks gametime though.

Thanks for the response, ESh! I was aware of that option, however I do enjoy tracking my hours if possible. I was wondering if there was a way to get steam to recognize the mod just as it does the steam recognized Deus Ex.

 

[Stargazer_]

Baller-ass mod you made me repurchase the game.

 

[Tito Anic]

So i always wondered but couldn`t find any info on the question - people`s asses are the weakpoints, even Navarre dies with one hit. Is this a bug? A feature?

Realy I remember doing ambushes in the 747: proximity mine and rocket was my recipe. Ass - who would have known

 

[KlauZ]

Spoiler

I don`t get it...

 

[Ash]

Puzzle. Figure it out or find an alternate route. There was a puzzle of sorts here originally but it was not meaningful.

 

[KlauZ]

Ahh, so thats why this tuuret was closing...
Ok now i have some scripting issues in Ton`s. First JoJo was standing in a place not going anywhere, now UNATCO isn`t storming in.

 

[Ash]

Jojo is a known bug, already fixed and will be rolled out in v8.1. UNATCO not storming I need more data on. Can other v8.0 players confirm if they encountered this before? I've only had one other report so far. They mentioned they poked their head out of the door for the script to resume.

 

[KlauZ]

If you trigger alarm state of guards by making a noise the door explodes, but soldiers still won`t rush in. I`m also using Deus Exe.

Knocking down and nonlethal in general is russian roulette, sometimes it work.
So yeah, his thought about assess is not that strange when you experience Deus Ex hitbox system.

Just look where he point it.

Luckily GMDX fixed the issue and I got way more successful attempts in taking down enemies non-lethally.
But I have hard time to believe that Navarre can die, though he was immortal until the boss encounter.

 

[Jaesun]

People have been killing Navarre, before the final battle in vanilla DX for years (PRO TIP: LAM'S).

 

[Tito Anic]

But I have hard time to believe that Navarre can die, though he was immortal until the boss encounter.

Spoiler

Juan Lebedev is a nice guy after all and we will build better Navarre - with augmented bewbs later

 

[Dev_Anj]

I wasted all my money so i couldnt save. I paid a 1000 bucks to some guy for a code for a safe that im never gonna see anyway cause guess what you cant go back to Paris. For some reason i thought you can go back... Dumbfuck.

By the way, I can fix this for you if you're interested. Just send me your save.

 

[Kontra]

Nah im taking a break from DX for a while. In a month or so ill just start again with a new build. But thanks anyway man.

I'm looking for possible translators for GMDX. I've gone and localized all the necessary strings for the Russian version and setup the localization file, so all that's needed for it to be translated to a wide variety of languages is people to do the translation. The languages Deus Ex was officially translated to were Russian, French, Spanish & German, so I'd like to support as many of those as I can. Russian is done. If anyone can cover any of those other languages it would be appreciated.

This is the full extent of the work required: http://pastebin.com/4CkP2Z98
Every string in the file save a dozen strings. String name and class name remain in English, just the words between quotes require translation.
It may seem overwhelming, but it isn't actually that much as far as game localization go. A lot of it can be copied directly from the official localization file for your respective language also (in fact doing so would be desired for professional reference), but not all of it as GMDX modifies a lot of the original strings.

It's a lot to ask, but again people have supported many other Deus Ex mods in this manner, and GMDX is top quality progressive stuff, so should be worth the same treatment. Individuals may want to do this for other reasons also, such as to test their multilingual proficiency or if they seek credentials for entering an industry that does localization, such as the video game industry.

 

[---]

There is also an excellent fan translation of Deus Ex vanilla in italian (my language, it is VERY well made), but i'm not the creator. I'll see if i can contact some of the guys who translated it... You didn't change texts, so it shouldn't be an hard work, i think.

Only between quotes, eh? I'm bored and I'm a native Spanish speaker. May as well give it a go.

"You don't have enough room in your inventory to pick up the %s"

What does the %s mean, and can you give me an example?

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

That would be a variable representing the item the player is trying to pick up.

 

[Sigourn]

That would be a variable representing the item the player is trying to pick up.

Oh, I was confused about the "s" after the &.

Sadly, I have to back down out of this unless I can somehow get access to the spanish translation of the game, otherwise, I risk using vastly different terminology in the translation.

 

[Ash]

Ah, yes I forgot to mention there are instances of formatting tags within the strings you need to be aware of.

|n = Linebreak
|& = Underline
% = Concatenation of a variable string.

If any Spaniards have the DeusEx.est file, please let us know.

Edit: Oh, and it is preferable that translators have played GMDX to have a solid understanding of the systems they are to translate.

French is now covered.
