Description
This zip file contains the Windows installer and Read Me file for Deus Ex: ZODIAC. ZODIAC requires Deus Ex version 1.109 or later. Any multiplayer patch later than March 2, 2001 should work. You can find the version 1.112fm patch here:

Thanks a lot for this great mod. DEUS EX was one of best games ever unlike DEUS EX 2.
Great Mod ^^
Steve,
in the map before paul enters a crypt to fight some grays, there is three rooms and one room is open the other has a zodiac memember inside but i can't find a key to open the door.

Very epic, past the CIA headquarters.
The CIA headquarters started with some great hype music as you breach the first gate (the tower was sort of pointless), the CIA headquarters had great atmosphere but not the best design, a bit empty and had a few problems with not enough multi-tools/ lockpicks at the biggining.
At the second level as you go underground, it becomes clear that this is a big mod, as you go down the sublevels, they get a bit repetitive but bits of great atmosphere (the jumping chamber to get to that grey coffin had great atmosphere, even though nothing really happened, but that big cavern filled with (pods?) really reminded me of that eeriness in half life 2 where you enter that maniacs slave assembly line.
Small glitch with the c4 where you're supposed to blow up that science chamber, it didn't work oh well.
Major glitch near the end of the second part where you have to get the code for that elevator, the prisoner pods, there's a dead end there, don't know what to do. I cheated and went ghost through the door into the elevator, the next level you get an alien as an ally, so you probably had to talk to him in the prison pod?
From there, the airforce base is a great little sniper time, good atmosphere as you hunt from hanger to hanger, small dead end at the 747 (I could of sworn the president was there, the secret service agents really made you think it was a glitch and he just didn't appear). Anyways, then you go into that hanger and you go down and cross a long rail on a tram (with a great but simple synthesize voice, which really made the game come alive for the first time as there is no voice dialogue). The underground bunkers were great atmosphere, you hook up with the president and then make your way into a science area with an alien ufo artifact. The UFO was great and had a special shine to it which made it even more believable, the shape and reflection of it really reminded me of the UFO in the movie Flight of the Navigator.
Then the final part, Egyptian flavored tombs with extra terrestrial feel. I found the first chamber a bit boring to navigate but again had great atmosphere. Then you get into the lower chambers where the aliens have their society and it also had great atmosphere. Small trouble trying to find c4, so if you take that MIB womans choice to join her, it's much easier.
So all in all, very epic mod with a few glitches and maybe some level design flaws.
GREAT atmosphere.
9/10.

Looking back at all of my PerfectDark MISSION'S, now knowing that the one's I wanted to Show, I can't and are the Future, and are still CLASSIFIED.

Loading high-def meshes from HDTP for the Zodiac-specific object analogues:
- Paul Denton
- grays and their carcasses
- personal computer
- phone
The following Zodiac belt and inventory icons were freshly re-rerendered in 24-bit and high resolution:
- C4
- Joshua rifle
- Energy Clip ammo
High-quality upscaling of:
- remaining belt & inventory icons (Zap soda, biomatter sample)
- data vault images
- computer logos
- InfoLink portraits
My favorite level mod, tied with 2027.
This mod doesnt work.. Its clearly made by an idiot.
I got the mod to work with the GoG GoTY version. Here is what I did for anyone interested. I did this on a Razer Blade 14 2022 laptop on Windows 11. It also works if you are running Windows 11 on Parallels on a Mac (Apple Silicon).
Instructions to install Zodiac mod using GoG GoTY:
1. Install GoTY on your computer (if not already installed).
2. Created a new folder called C:\DeusEx and copy the files from the GoTY folder into C:\DeusEx.
3. Download the Zodiac mod and extract the contents into a new folder called Zodiac_Full_Version (or name of your choice). It can be created in C:\ or wherever you choose (I put it on the Desktop).
4. Run Zodiac installer from the Zodiac_Full_Version folder.
5. Go through instructions on the installation wizard and install all files into the default location C:\DeusEx.
6. Add the Zodiac Desktop icon to Desktop.
7. Double-click Zodiac Desktop icon to start game.
I chose to copy all files and folders from the GoTY folder into C:\DeusEx because I did not want the mod to mess with or destroy what I already had in my GoTY folder. I copied the GoTY files into a new folder called C:\DeusEx because that is the default folder the Zodiac mod installer installs files to.
I was going on the assumption that the installer adds (and possibly changes) files to the core game and creates an exe and ini file based off the original game's exe and ini file. For the longest time, I was wondering why the mod's installer was not creating an exe and ini file and came to the assumption above.
