>What is GMDX?
GMDX is an award-winning large-scale modification for the 2000 PC classic Deus Ex. GMDX addresses the many flaws of the game, polishes it to a very high standard, and adds new layers of depth that one would have hoped to see in a sequel. GMDX is executed with the strict parameter of staying true to the original design principles that define Deus Ex, and seeks to improve all aspects of design excluding the plot and soundtrack. The cumulative result thus far is said to be, and aims to be the "definitive Deus Ex experience".

IT'S OUT
GO REINSTALL RIGHT NOW YOU LAZY FUCKERS
Well fuck, I just replayed with the Revision mod.
>>321396526
this is the Revision?
>>321396526
>excluding the plot and soundtrack
Good.
These guys know what perfection is.
The Revision sucked because a lot of the design decisions didn't make any sense, but this mod seems to understand better what DX tried to be. Downloading when I get back home.
>>321396753
really?
Everybody was saying Revision was the second coming of Jesus, did it really flop?
>>321396640
>>321396631
No, this is an actually good mod unlike Revision.
>>Deus Ex was perfect, why did you change it?
>No, it wasn't perfect. Far from it: AI was underdeveloped and often incapable, weaponry were not up to the standards of other games even of the time, audio design (not the soundtrack) was at times of extremely poor quality, RPG systems had some major balancing issues, and bugs were intertwined with many systems. GMDX resolves all this and more, and ensures Deus Ex will always remain relevant. Yet GMDX isn't just about fixing the flaws of DX, it is also about a rare form of game design progression: games like Deus Ex, System Shock & Ultima Underworld in principle aren't made anymore despite there being so much potential for truly "next-generation gaming". GMDX takes one of the most progressive games ever made and pushes further in terms of game design. Keep an open mind as you had to when you first started Deus Ex all those years ago.
>>321396707
That's the entire point, it has mechanical changes, AI changes and a shitload of gameplay additions while not doing retarded level design bullshit like Revision did.
But Revision got a massive Steam release because one of the modders was employed at Squeenix, and this will forever stay in the shade of it.
I want to play it but with Underrail and The Quest just released I won't get to it to like early spring. Sorry, CyberP, I have finished DX for like 7 times after all.
>>321396526
>fan mod
>definitive Deus Ex experience
Do you fags really think you know better than the devs what "Deus Ex experience" is supposed to be?
Aww, fucking sweet christmas present if what the videos are saying is true.
Does it work with the Steam version only or can I pirate it like the filthy fucker I am?
>>321397008
Works with any goty version but
>not having DX
>2015
What the fuck
I never played dude sex, should I play this or vanilla?
>>321397130
this
>>321396974
Yes, pic related.
Is it possible to integrate it into Revision mod?
I kinda liked some of the level design changes of it. Command center in MJ12 facility was much harder to traverse for example.
>>321397008
It works with any GOTY, or patched to GOTY, or whatever.
>/v/ suddenly hates The Revision mod
what the FUCK happened?
>Audio design
OH yes
OH
YES
>>321397501
The only bad things about revision i can say is:
>an enormous drama surrounding its release, with mod makers striking a deal with square and forcing everyone to use a steam version to play it
>wayy too many dead ends and doors you can't open, like if you add new places at least finish them
But overall i liked some of the redesigned locations.
>>321396974
GMDX cuts the fat and fixes the systems while enhancing elements of the game. And it's made in a way where it supports a better first playthrough experience.
>>321397501
lol
To fix the game they would effectively have to ban use of the Dragon's Tooth beyond Hong Kong
>>321396526
>nother half assed fan mod
lol
Does it change the way shooting and aiming works? Maybe make it more like Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon where: your cone of fire reticle is visible at all times, not just when aimed at a destroyable target; and your cone of fire expands to a smaller maximum radius while walking rather than running.
>>321397883
Here's the individual changes for it if you're interested:
Dragon's Tooth Sword:
-Drawing/Constructing the DTS blade is noisy and alerts nearby AI. Draw before moving in for the kill.
-Improved visual fluctuation effects.
-Lowered damage.
-Improved impact effects.
is this game actually fun for a first timer not wearing nostalgia goggles?
is it easy to get into and enjoy?
Deus Ex has laughable physics engine. That would need to be completely overhauled as well.
>>321398378
Check out the Part 3 video.
>>321396837
I can only really speak for myself, but The Revision didn't adhere to any of the design principles that made the original good. A lot of stuff just felt completely out of place to conform to Revisions idea of what Deus Ex was instead of trying to compliment the original.
>>321398346
It's still the best FPS/RPG of all time, I don't know what you're expecting. What does "easy to get into" mean, having the entire game be an extended tutorial with achievements for first step and first trigger press?
>>321397130
Play vanilla with the essential mods on PcGamingWiki, which adds widescreen and some updated textures, then play with mods. That way you can judge the game from the original design perspective.
Huh, I can't get it to launch.
>Failed to find steam
Frustrating!
>>321398378
>-Pickups and decorative objects now move when taking damage, meaning explosions send objects flying, hitting objects or shooting them knocks them around.
>-Force is transferred when one object hits another.

>>321398746
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/74503/failed-to-find-steam-when-starting
Some things I didn't like about the original game:
1. When attaching a scope to a weapon it turned it into a laser precision pistol.
I was head shotting people with a pistol from laughable distances.
2. assault rifle
it was a pea shooter, even when pumped up. huge recoil, low damage. Everything else out classed it
Has anyone played this yet? It looks promising.
>>321398746
http://www.moddb.com/mods/gmdx/tutorials/gmdx-v6-installation-guide
>>321398972
Assault Gun:
-Now named "ZHL-U1953" after the blueprints of the gun found in-game.
-Can now have scope mod.
-Increased damage, clip size and other pedantic stat tweaks.
-New firing & reloading SFX.
-Fixed bugs related to the underbarrel grenade launcher.
-New ammo type: 20mm EMP grenades for the underbarrel grenade launcher.
>>321398378
>UE1
>laughable
get the fuck out
CyberP is insane (codexers know), but he is god's gift to mankind nonetheless.
>>321398587
a focus on realism and challenge
not like Skyrim for example, where guards are demigods and will chase you down with uncanny ability based off a hardcoded bounty flag, even though nobody saw you commit said crime and it was the other side of the world to begin with
I don't know what I want, just the perfect immersive game I guess.
>>321398935
>Still doesn't work
Well fuck.
>>321399810
What specifically have you been doing, are you installing the Steam version or the TPB version or what?
>>321399917
Steam version, of course.
>>321396707
>>321396860
>>321396631
Does it work for revision ?
>>321399991
Did you try running Steam in admin mode?
>>321400036
No. Which features from Revision would you want to have in it?
>>321400160
The visuals
how is this compared to shifter + hdtp?
>>321400093
Yeah, no dice.
>>321400253
Revision's updated graphics are actually from the HDTP / New Vision mods which are integrated into GMDX too.
>>321400301
Then get the TPB version or complain to Steam. This is happening to the unmodded Steam version, right?
>>321400423
The videos don't seem to have high res textures aside from weapon models
>>321400491
It's annoying, I can start the 'normal' steam version by using steam itself as it seems like the mod is separate, but the mod exe itself doesn't want to start.
>>321400423
No they aren't, it's fusion of HDTP/New Vision along with a bunch of new models and textures exclusive to Revision, as the levels and level-centric models are completely changed for the most part to coincide with the remade maps
>>321400423
>>321400707
Is Revision worth playing ?
>>321396974
You're too late. It's on it's way back to the people. And you can't do a damn thing about it.
>>321400578
Have you tried running the mod exe in admin mode? Did you reboot after doing the path thing?
>>321401148
Read this post, and ONLY this post: Revision is to Deus Ex as the Clan Quest Mod is to VTM:B - a revamped from the ground-up mod for people that've been playing the same game over and over, and want something different their twentieth time around. It isn't vanilla DX, as each map is completely redone, same with the music and textures/models. It triggered autists because it requires you to own the original game legally on Steam, which is an outrage over a game that usually goes on sale for $2.50, and resulted in a coordinated attack on the ModDB page. If you wanna try something different, Revision is as good as it gets, and it lets you disable any of the major Revision-centric changes if you don't like them
While I'm at it, GMDX is to Deus Ex as the True Patch is to VTM:B - a mostly-unchanged experience that fixes major bugs and iffy design choices, while adding modern creature comforts without straying from vanilla DX, so basically, for people that wanna keep playing the OG DX
>>321401340
Yes and yes.
Can you spot anything wrong?
>>321400160
I would love to have the cut content that was restored using Shifter mode.
>>321401547
You mean apart from the yen signs instead of \ and moonspeak?
>>321401646
There's nothing wrong with having the superior locale.
>>321401534
Speaking of VTM:B, as someone who never played it what mods should I get?
Just true patch?
>>321401534
>>While I'm at it, GMDX is to Deus Ex as the True Patch is to VTM:B - a mostly-unchanged experience that fixes major bugs and iffy design choices, while adding modern creature comforts without straying from vanilla DX, so basically, for people that wanna keep playing the OG DX
I would compare it to Jagged Alliance 2 1.13 or at least one of the earlier 1.13 versions before they started adding zombies and shit.
I've not heard of this until now.
Must have been overshadowed by that miserable failure that was Revision.
On Part 4 of the videos and I'm liking what I see.
>>321397437
Accurate. Very accurate.
>>321401534
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMrl7ge_uSg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U5AkDOTT6Q
>>321401721
It mostly depends on if you wanna play a 1:1 vanilla version of the game without bugs, or a near-TC like what Clan Quest does. CQ has bugfixes AND a fuckton of new content, and honestly doesn't fuck with the original experience in my opinion (imo)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4C_ybsAeIY
When in doubt, throw your GEP gun.
>>321401717
I don't know, try adding paths to DX itself, GMDX mod folder, etc.
Do you have multiple Steam locations?
How about the "-All else fails consider using Kentie's Launcher " option? from >>321398989

>>321396526
Every time I see a release post like this, it's inevitably followed up by hardcore shillposting that just screams "this thing is so much more shit than you'd ever believe."
Can we get some opinion posts in here that don't read like the mod author has their whole fist shoved up anon's ass?
I have this installed, deals with a ton of the issues that come with playing the game in 1080 on Windows 7, not sure if it works with OP's mod but it's worth a download
>>321396526
I thought it was cover mirroring thread
>>321396526
Looks awesome OP. Good excuse to ignore my backlog and play DX again.
I've always absolutely hated Deus Ex, probably because of how completely shit the AI is.
This looks good.
Just look at the vanilla footage they use. How the fuck can anyone defend this game?
>>321399792
>No replies
Kek what does that tell you anon? This game is only good if you have nostalgia goggles with twice the prescription because in reality this game is mediocre as it gets.
>>321403438
hehe this lol borderlands 2 has more rpgs in it and world building
Is there a single game that does aiming the way Dude Sex does?
Deus Ex's biggest problem was the shitty save mechanic
Shouldn't have to break my own immersion and savescum just playing the game
>>321403641
You mean it being target based?

Cuz it's like 90 years old and it was ground breaking at the time to the point that many games today are inspired by it or outright copy it!
>>321404079

>>321404449
The new GORE system happens. Their fucking heads explode.
>>321404770
>Brutal Deus Ex
ahahahahaha
>>321404676
Well, the aiming is target-based, so when you have the crosshair over a target, you focus on it, and depending on the skills your accuracy is this or that.
Did you mean this? I'm not sure what other system you're talking about.
In most games the aim is just related to your weapon and whether you're currently running or jumping or whatever.
These guys should mod Soldier of Fortune 2.
>>321404804
You have no idea how accurate that is. Even the PS20 literally boils people and explodes them into chunks, painting the whole damn room completely red.
Lethal playthrough have never been this metal in deus ex.
>>321396526
It would be easier to just port Deus Ex to the Quake engine.
>>321405179
Here's a tip: Once you've installed microfibral muscles for that strength boost, try picking up a corpse and throwing it an enemy. The corpse pops open like a water balloon and it kills most enemies instantly.
Nerfed Healing Aug vs near immunity to goddamn spider bots Aug.
What do?
Also maxed Low Tech + Combat Speed Aug let's you take out cameras and turrets with the Dao, Throwing Knives, and Dragon's Tooth.
>>321407193
If you are one of those who abuses quicksave, then you won't need the healing aug. I was and endep up with max biocells+medkits near mid-game.

How is this the first time I've heard about this while Revision was shilled to hell and back way before its release?
Have I just been under a rock?

>>321408710
Revision was shilled to hell and back.
This wasn't.
>>321408710
>shilled
Answered your own question there.
holy fuck this looks amazing
>>321408710
Mostly because it's made by one obsessive modder with a 99% modding 1% shilling focus, instead of a team/community with has a 90% shilling 10% modding focus.
>>321410228
Yeah but you'd think I'd have seen at least a mention in one of the numerous deus ex threads I've read. Instead it was just "Revision is out soon, wait for that" every time.
>>321410497
I don't know, it's not like the mod hasn't been in development for ages and has had multiple previous releases. Guess you just have to pay for publicity nowadays.
>>321402975
I think it should work, it's been recommended in the mod install instructions "if all else fails".
>>321408151
I think this is a DX engine limitation, not sure. Just bind them to [ and ] or whatever in the mouse software and then bind those in the ingame keybinds.

>>321417310
Yeah it's okay. I like how at the higher difficulties they can actually fucking see you standing clearly in the light, even from a distance, or that they hear noises better, even if it's throwing me off sometimes. Also the grenade-throwing and the flares into dark areas thing is pretty neat.
>>321417516
Nah.
>>321417516
No, that's Revision.
So i use kenties and for some reason if gmdx system is at the top i cant acess hDTP options if hdtp is at the top no gmdx options is there a way i can have both?

No idea, but I'm interested, since I have nearly 60+ saves from old playthroughs. I'm afraid not since you could save in a new are from Revision which doesn't exist in the vanilla version.
>>321396526
But does it actually fix the shitty stealth mechanics, like the prod's unreliability, and enemies all running for the nearest alarm when you hit them with a tranq dart?
>>321421254
The vids show they do. And just for note, the prod can 1HKO any human enemy, they just have different vulnerable areas.
>>321421421
The videos don't show anything about the tranq darts whatsoever.
>>321421562
-Buffed tranq dart damage so that every human NPC that does not have a helmet, is not augmented or invincible can be K.O'ed with one shot to the head.
>>321421254
Tranq darts work much much faster now. Hit them in the upper body and they're down in a few seconds.
>>321421795
>>321421795
Sweet. Now I can finally play stealth without it being a pain in the arse.
