DX: Resurrection

Postby Ded » Tue Apr 20, 04 3:07 pm

I'm currently working on a little add-on for Deus Ex. List of features:
  • New high-poly models.
  • A lot of new generic effects (using high quality animated sprites) such as explosions, smoke, sparks and etc.
  • New fonts. New menu color themes.
  • Weather effects such as rain, lightnings, thunder, wind...
  • Re-textured stuff from original Deus Ex
  • Mod starter (such as 2027 starter) that allows you to change options outside the game.


Resurrection is fully based on technologies that were used in 2027 mod or in another words, Resurrection is technological demo of DX:2027 mod. Resurrection doesn't have custom maps, it just a codding work that improves your Deus Ex Single Player. It works almost like Hejhujka's mod (it makes some changes to original DX, but doesn't alter maps or storyline).

Resurrection add-on is currently ~85% complete.

Resurrection is installed like a normal mod (in a custom directory, no files will be replaced). If you launch Resurrection.exe it will load original Deus Ex with some differences like new models and effects.
2027 will not change Deus Ex itself. You can't even load DX's maps from 2027.
Resurrecton is based on 2027 resources: models, effects. Resurrection is something like technology demo of 2027.

Does it replace original dx files?
Hejhujkas hardcore replaces deusex.u, thats not good, especially if you're DXMP player.

No, it won't replace any files. All add-on files will be stored in a custom directory. I just want to say that it works like Hejhujka's mod: altering original sources without changing maps.

Another question - what about multiplayer? Is it possible to use new modifications of models in dxmp if server hoster doesn't have it? Only on a client.

No, if you want to play DXMP: resurrection, you need to create a new server. It is impossible to play original DXMP+Resurrection if Resurrection mod doesn't installed on server.

so it may be a good idea to have one installation for SP and one for DXMP, only a clever suggestion :P

Size only matters for downloaders, most ppl have at least 60gb hard drives in this day and age (and i got 120 a year ago....)


Plenty of room for another Dx installation :P

I have sum 120 gb on two hard drives and only 10 GB of these size is free :) Also, i have 5 DX installed. For editing, for DXMP, for DXSP, for mods, for 2027 (because it needs some russian translations)
I don't get why you want to install DX? Ded said that DX:R doesn't replace original DX files, so i think you can play DXMP even if DX:R installed but it will mod and its features will be disabled.

Why? You can install Resurrection on your DX, but it won't replace any files. If you want to play original DX, you just launch DeusEx.exe. And if you want to play resurrection you need to run Resurrection.exe or ResurrectionStarter.exe.

New version of 2027 demo will not reqire russian translations. It will have it's own fonts, so you can install 2027 on any language version of DX.

hi, I was wondering around DX sites and accidentaly found this DX-Resurrection

You know there is a DX Re-Tex coockin' now so how about merging both projects together, seems like they are Very similar and DX-Resurrection already has what is intended in DX Re-Tex too.

http://forums.ionstorm.com/index.php?showtopic=208888&st=0
http://s7.invisionfree.com/DXReTex/index.php?s=8047ee6724de32d82282e80a5371a009&act=idx

I think the whole community & Deus Ex will gain a great profit in this mearging.
Ded, people with such a respect and experience like you are soooooooooooo much needed for DX Re-Tex that I just don't have words to tell it...

PS

I don't really want to merge this two projects... Yeah, Rebirth projects looks really nice. Anyway, I want to make my own add-on. Besides DX: Resurrection is only a tech-demo for 2027 (Resurrection uses all materials and resources that 2027 has).

P.S. Mi znakomy? Denton?

Why? DX: Resurrection is working with MP just fine. If ypu want to play original DXMP, just launch it with deusex.exe

Ded, I'm not even a real DX Re-Tex member, so I can't tell you anything in the neme of DX Re-Tex actually, but I personally respect your choise , still I hope this "introduction" of both projects to each other will atleast clear some things and help to prevent duplicates of the same things made by different teams for the same use. :wink:
Besides I reeealy like your mod in all aspects - idea, graphics, plot, Deus Ex :lol: and especially the music. I'm a big fan af Alexander Brandon's & Michael Van Der Bos's soundtracks and I'm very happy that the music for the mod 2027 is in the same, high quality :D There is only one thing that keeps me away from going crazy about it - system requirements :shock: , I mean even the original DX has a lot of slowdowns on my 1GHz with GF2Ti, now I suppose that I could hope only on some 5fps in 2027...

about the others - now what's a realy strange responses in here!!! The best thing is - I don't even get it, what are people objecting about?! btw, [A]GeneralJoey, you shurely got some kind of problem, I would like to visit new Zealand once in my life, but I live and currently am located in Latvia... that's one pimple in Europe

It might lag on you pc if all effects are on. But you always can turn of all weather effects and set option that will force game to use old efffects for explosions and other such effects instead of new very high quality ones.
Another thing is 'Detailed textures'. It also helps to improve performance.
At least 2027 runs faster than Zodiac.

Dude, submit your addon to the DXREBIRTH project. Go on the Ion Storm Forums and talk to Iki or Godismygoldfish. They could really use what you've been doing.
