Recommended mods and addons

Postby masterxan » Thu Aug 19, 10 6:09 pm

A'ight, so this has probably been asked before, but I'ma gonna ask again. Don't kill me, please. And those stun guns hurt.

I'm gearing up to play through Deus Ex again, and I'm wondering what mods and addons and whatever people are using these days. Here is what I've got to work with:

Windows 7 32bit
Deus Ex, Game of the Year edition
Corruption (to play as Paul Denton) Not currently installed
TNM (its awesome) Not currently installed
New Vision 1
HDTP Release 1
otp UI fix
d3d10dvr v22
Underground Lab (a single player mission) Not currently installed
Modloader
Redsun 2020 (Mission) Not currently installed
Deus Patch Creative (which I don't remember what does)

Okies. So, What else would the community recommend? I know there is a multiplayer patch now, and I'll grab that at some point. But just for single player, are there any other tools to load the game, any awesome single player missions or TCs, and especially useful: any other texture packs or other means to make DX more awesome? I looked at the recommended mods here on Alpha already.

If all you want is to play the singleplayer, it's not really needed to pimp your DX install with many addons. You're fine with Deus Ex GOTY (or patched to 1112) + OTP UI fix in case you're using a hi-res display + enhanced OpenGL or d3d10drv to enhance graphics a tad. That's it!

Optionally HDTP, but they released only a beta with not so many models, which might look somewhat detached compared to other models in the game.

Redsun 2020 is not a mission, it's a fully-fledged modification. As far as I know, they had published a beta with one map/mission only, and some sites in the Internet still host it instead of the full version which was released years later.

You might also want to try Hotel Carone, The Cassandra Project and Zodiac — also big mods with their own storylines.

The Cassandra Project would have been the greatest thing ever if it was finished. Not only was it awesome beyond comprehension but it also introduced me to Felix Da Housecat.

Sorry, didn't know that about Redsun. I've never used it, its a new one I picked up the other day and I kinda forgot its description. I'll look into the other missions when I get the chance.

Are there no other visual or gameplay improvements I can make? AI enhancements, that sort of thing? Or do I need to investigate the .ini file I've avoided messing with thus far...?

Renderer (either new OpenGL or D3D), HDTP, New Vision, nothing else.

You're not going to see a huge improvement anyway.

Update:
try Burden of 80 Proof! Also awesome mod.

It's a mod-with-a-story-line, like Redsun, Hotel Carone, Zodiac, The Cassandra Project and TNM.

(btw does anyone know how to call those mods properly in English?)

Well TNM is probably a singleplayer total conversion modification

Don't know if you would be able to call the other mods like that.
