Deus Ex Windows, Mac, RTX, PS2 game

Hello everyone!

I'm pleased to announce a new major update to GMDX: Augmented Edition is now available! I'm sorry to have kept everyone waiting so long, but I promise the wait will have been worth it, as this version is significantly better than the previous one.

Along with the newest version of Confix+LDDP, the 1.1 update also contains a whole host of bugfixes, and a whole bunch of new gameplay and QoL features have also been added, many of which are based on community feedback!

If you wish to provide feedback or talk about the mod, you can do so by joining my Discord server, which also hosts beta versions for upcoming releases! You can also visit my PayPal and Ko-Fi pages if you'd like to support the ongoing development of the mod.

Here are some of the major changes in the new update:

Visible Vanilla Weapon Attachments

While a lot of work has gone into the HDTP weapon models, there are some people who prefer the originals. Unfortunately, the original weapons were created without any visible weapon attachments, which can make them look static and uninteresting during gameplay.

GMDX: Augmented Edition now includes Visible Vanilla Weapon Attachments, which is designed to be a standalone package that works with any compatible mod, similar to how Augmentique already works, and is my gift to the community. These are packaged in the installer alongside everything else for easy installation, and will be released as a separate mod for other modders to use at a later date (I ask for nothing but attribution in return).

In addition, the Sniper Rifle has been given a proper muzzle flash texture, and other minor weapon issues have been fixed.

Augmentique Updates

Alongside GMDX, the Augmentique mod has also been updated. Outside of the addition of a few new outfits, Augmentique also now has the ability to randomize NPC appearances.

NPC Randomization is designed to be as lore-friendly as possible, and takes a light touch. Many plot-relevant characters have no randomization at all, or make sure to maintain a core part of their iconic wardrobe. For instance, Paul Denton retains his signature trench coat. Walton Simons isn't randomized at all (except for his glasses). Bums and Junkies still look visibly dirty and wear filthy clothing, while upper-class people like doctors and business people will wear suits, ties, and other fancy outfits. None of the major plot relevant characters who had unique faces have had their faces replaced, and recurring characters will retain their appearances between missions.

JC's outfits have also had some improvements. All of the vanilla models have had their missing animations added, which should reduce instances of JC not animating properly when doing certain things (such as mantling), reduce console log spam, reduce crashing, and create a more pleasant experience overall. In addition, several models that had unused texture slots have been given mask textures, allowing more outfits to utilise tactical gear and other face coverings outside of GM_Jumpsuit.

Additionally, a new outfit will be rewarded when finding all the collectibles scattered throughout the maps. Can you find them all?

Major Quality of Life and Gameplay Improvements

A significant number of QoL improvements have been added to 1.1. While GMDX:AE 1.05 had a very large focus on improving the usability and feel of the game, there were still some rough edges.

Almost every area of the game has been changed in some way, from the inventory screen, to the goals/notes system, to the tool windows, conversations, item pickup windows, and much more. Some major highlights can be seen in the update preview post.

Randomizer Support Delayed

Support for Deus Ex Randomizer is still underway. It's currently in a playable state using "Zero Rando" mode, but may have some issues at higher levels of randomization. This is being actively worked on and should be ready for the 1.2 release. Randomizer support was promised for the 1.1 update, however it's a large commitment and the release of 1.1 was already very delayed, so it was pushed back. Sorry to anyone who was excited for DXRando support!

Thanks, and have fun!

I really hope everyone enjoys the 1.1 update! It's been a tremendous amount of work, and wouldn't have been possible without some amazing support from testers, other members of my discord, and other important community members, including Hanfling, WCCC, CappucciNO, Maiden China, RoSoDude and others.

Please report any bugs you find in my discord server, and I hope everyone has fun with the new update!

The absolute monster of a changelog is posted below:

New Features:
- Items can now be dropped by dragging them off the inventory grid. This feature can be disabled in the QoL menu.
- Using actions while hacking (such as clicking on turrets, cameras, etc) will now drain hack time. Using Worm softwares will prevent this. This can be disabled in the Gameplay menu.
- Added collectibles. JC can now find one collectible per mission. Can you find them all? Collectibles must be enabled in the Playthrough Modifiers menu to appear.
  - Finding them all will unlock a unique outfit! (Augmentique required)
- The message log will now appear while a DataLink is playing. Added a new QoL setting to disable this.
- Added a small blue glow to Datacubes
- Added "Crosshair off by one" setting, enabled by default, which should fix the crosshairs being misaligned on 1440p and other resolutions.
- "Double Click Unholstering" setting split out into 2 separate settings, one for holstering, one for unholstering
  - The unholstering setting now allows not unholstering at all, if desired.
- Stealth Rework. Stealth is currently far too easy, even on Untrained stealth you can creep up behind anyone for an easy takedown. To remedy this:
  - Sounds will now propagate more accurately, making sound management and weapon noise significantly more important.
  - Crouching now makes footsteps. Volume is determined by Stealth skill, with Master stealth being completely silent
  - Weapon sound ranges are much larger, as well as the sound radius of all explosions
  - Scopes, Silencers and Lasers now provide drawbacks when attached (Disabled by default, always enabled on Hardcore mode)
    - Addons can be attached/removed from the Inventory screen, or through a keybinding.
    - Attachments are always associated with a specific weapon. You cannot remove a scope and attach it to a new weapon, for instance.
    - Added a new "Wetwork" perk (requires Stealth: MASTER) that will negate all drawbacks from attachments.
    - The "Wetwork" perk is hidden/unavailable when the feature is disabled.
  - The Stealth Pistol and Crossbow are completely silent by default
  - Enemies that notice you while being snuck up on can now react instantly on Hardcore mode, rather than faffing around for a few seconds.
  - Enemies can eventually hear your footsteps when sneaking up on them, but it takes a while (6+ steps usually).
  - Damage from attacks from behind now scale with your Stealth level (3x/6x/9x/12x) rather than being a flat 12x bonus.
    - Attacks from behind now require targets to be in a non-alert state.
- Increased energy drain when throwing objects with the Muscle augmentation.
- The Vision Enhancement augmentation now gives all effects (including sonar) at level 1. Additional levels reduce power drain and increase range.
- Slightly increased energy drain of the ADS and Environmental Resist augmentations.
- Updated the HUD for Cameras and Turrets which are disabled by computers to properly show as Bypassed.
- Added a new gameplay setting to enable or disable using Pepper Spray on laser tripwires. Originally this was a Hardcore mode check only. Still always prevented on Hardcore.
- Increased default Auto Turret damage. Turrets will now deal double damage against enemies, which should help them feeling useless/underpowered in the late-game.
- The ability to rearm grenades based on skill is now a Gameplay option. When disabled, all grenades can always be rearmed as in Vanilla. Updated the log message to be more clear.
- The DTS requiring energy to function and recharging using Biocells is now a Gameplay option. When disabled, the DTS will have unlimited charge, as in vanilla.
- Added a new setting to use the classic Deus Ex weapon sounds, rather than the ones added in GMDX.
- Right and Middle-Clicking in the Inventory and Aug screens now affects the object under the cursor, rather than the selected object. This can be reverted in the QoL menu.
- Added a new "Auto Uncrouch" setting, to disable the feature where JC will uncrouch when the run key is pressed while crouching.
- Added a new setting to enable or disable mantling.
- Added a notes display beside keypads and computer login screens to show all notes relevant to the code.
- Added a new Demolitions perk "Remote Detonation", which allows detonating placed wall mines with the change-ammo key.
- Robots will now only respond to sounds on Hardcore+, this is to further differentiate them from other enemy types.
- The PS20 now has the same accuracy values as the 10mm pistol, rather than being 100% accurate.
- Added a new "Permanent Cloaking" modifier, which will make Elites and other cloaked enemies always appear cloaked, for extra challenge.
- Tech Goggles (and the Vision Aug) can now see pickups through walls at very short range. This is designed to make Tech Goggles remain useful when not upgraded.
    - Tech Goggles can additionally see Security Devices (Cameras, Turrets, Alarm panels, etc) at short range through walls.
- The Hacking Window now shows the number of Nuke Viruses remaining.
- Added blue text for the Total Ammo count on the HUD when using a weapon that has max ammo.
- The ammo icons in the Inventory screen (used for switching ammo types for a given weapon) now show the max ammo count as well as the total.
- It's now possible to do a small jump while crippled.
- Rockets now detonate after 5 seconds of flight. Range mods increase the flight time by 1 second each. This was actually implemented in 1.0 but was broken.
- Rockets have been made slightly rarer (3 per ammo box instead of 4, 2 on Hardcore).
- Re-enabled GMDX v9 decapitation system. Disabled by default. Enable it in the Quality of Life settings menu.
- Healing from Medkits has been reduced by 10 on hardcore mode.
- Darts will now break when damaging movers

- Added a new Armor Piercing perk. Requires Rifles: MASTER. When obtained, assault gun headshots that would be negated by helmets will now deal 50% damage instead.
- Added support for the Visible Attachments mod, which is now included in GMDX:AE by default. The models can be toggled through the HDTP Menu.
- When highlighting nanokeys, their proper names will now be displayed, rather than "Nano Key"
- The Special Options screen on computers will now show an Email/Security button instead of the Logout button, to prevent accidentally logging out without disabling cameras etc.
  - This can be disabled in the QoL menu.
- General Looting Improvements:
  - The Items Received window will now show a running total of items found as you loot multiple corpses in quick succession, rather than being cleared between each one.
  - This can be reverted to how it was in GMDX:AE 1.0 (and vanilla) by using the QoL menu.
- Third Person Conversation Improvements:
  - Items given will now appear next to items received.
  - Credit transfers will also be shown in the given/received windows.
  - Items that were "missed" (such as buying 4 LAMs but only having space for 3) will now show as darkened versions in the Received Items window.
    - Additionally, missed items will now be dropped at the players feet.
  - Both of these options can be disabled in the QoL menu.
- Highlight Window Overhaul:
  - When highlighting a door, computer or keypad which you have the key/code for, the border will be green (non-hardcore only)
  - When higlighting Newspapers, DataCubes and Books, the title will be shown if the item has been previously read.
  - When highlighing a Carcass, the border will change to blue.
  - When highlighting a duplicate nanokey, the border will change to red.

  - When highlightting a disarmed grenade, the border will change to Red if you lack the demolitions skill to rearm it.
  - When highlighitng a weapon or ammo, the border will change to Blue if it can be partially looted, and Red if it cannot be looted at all.
  - When highlighting an inventory item, the border will change to Red if the item cannot be picked up due to inventory limits.
  - All border highlighting settings can be configured in the QoL menu.
- Nanokeys now display their full name when highlighted, rather than "NanoKey"
- Automatic Augmentations will now temporarily display as the Active aug colour in the augs display when consuming energy.
- Credits will now display their amount in brackets when highlighted. Additionally added a new setting to show the Items Received window when picking up credits.
- Friendly NPCs will now react to you pointing a gun at them, similar to Revision and Transcended.

- Fixed the ADS Augmentation not displaying detonated projectiles if they were exploded instantly when being created.
- Fixed a GMDX/vanilla issue where conversations with multiple actors would erroneously start if one actor was far away and the other one tried to talk to you
    - This was throwing the player into the conversation state for a split second, "jerking" their movement and causing them to stutter.

- Fixed a GMDX bug where some purchased weapons would have inconsistent ammo counts.
- Fixed a GMDX vRSD bug where you could gain above the maximum amount of ammo in some cases.
- Fixed several issue related to cloaking textures not being restored when loading a savegame, glasses textures looking strange when transparent, and other issues.
- Fixed GMDX:AE version 1 bug where the alternate toolbelt wouldn't update properly when losing belt items (such as at the start of the MJ12 prison mission)
- Fixed several GMDX:AE version 1 and vanilla music switching bugs. Now it should be much harder to break the music!
- Fixed a GMDX:AE version 1 bug where the player would be blamed when others gib unconscious corpses, increasing their kill number.

- Wall Mines added in Hardcore are now covered by the "Overwhelming Odds" modifier
- Fixed keypads granting access when pressing Backspace on a keypad with no code (Training mission)

- Fixed several typos.
- Fixed installer issue which would place the vRSD docs in the regular docs folder
- Fixed being unable to assign belt items via number keys when using the smaller belt
- Fixed vices showing fullness amounts when the addiction system is enabled, since they don't add to fullness when it's enabled (this mainly affected alcohol).

Misc Changes:
- Removed the 1-2 second recharge time on most augmentations.
- The QoL Menu has now been reduced to only the most impactful and important options. Turn on Advanced Mode to see all of the options.
- The mod now includes RenderExt by Hanfling, which should prevent rendering errors and crashes.
- The Flashlight now uses a separate binding and is no longer associated with any of the Function keys. Bound to V by default.
- Unconscious bodies which are thrown into pools of water will now drown slowly over ~20 seconds, rather than dying instantly.
- Augmentique settings can now be configured in the GMDX Menus
- Added a small stamina cost for repeatedly dropping objects with right-click.
- The mod now installs components into the `/Mods` subfolder, which should make your game folder neater.
- "Camera 1" changed to "Cam 1" in Security computer terminals, to prevent names from overlapping the display window.
- Autosaves will no longer cancel playing infolinks, and will instead wait until they are finished before saving.
- Added an alternate accuracy crosshairs option which doesn't show the top line.
- When using debris persistence, broken movers will now have much smaller fragments, to allow better visibility of nearby items.
- Removed the recharge time when toggling the EUAS augmentation.
- When using junk randomisation, certain maps now randomise chairs and couches together, allowing consistency between map changes (most noticeable between Vandenberg base and Vandenberg computer maps, and different UNATCO/NYC visits)
- Added a new keybinding for cleaning up the debris in the map.
- Logging out of a Security Computer will now exit the computer completely, rather than going back to the login screen.
- Slightly reorganised some items in the QoL menu.
- Small decorations (like trash paper) no longer cause the accuracy crosshairs to appear.
- Disabled the base-game crate randomisation system.
    - Now, the random items from crates are rolled before the crate randomisation kicks in, and can be replaced with other objects of the same type afterwards if Crate Randomisation is enabled.
    - Without Crate Randomisation, the only real change is that crate contents are rolled on map start, not when breaking, so they can no longer be savescummed.
- Reduced the number of added PS20s per map from 2 to 1
- Music will now fade out slowly when changing to an empty track, rather than switching instantly (used for Paris Catacombs map)
- The Lockpicking and Electronics skills have been made more expensive (from 5250->6000 each)

- Carcasses placed in maps will now use the correct name of their associated pawn, rather than simply being called "Dead Body"
- Updated the User Manual to mention the batch file instead of GMDX_AE.exe
