Deus Ex is one of the best PC games in history, but even it isn't without its faults and shortcomings. Shifter addresses these and then some. Unused game content, buggy scripted events, several completely useless items, and certain design choices that can only be described as "annoying", all fixed (or at least "improved") by this little mod. I started Shifter in 2002 to fix just one of the latter -- the fact that weapons equipped with a laser sight won't turn it on automatically -- and the project has expanded exponentially since then. A few new weapons, some additional uses for existing items, new augmentations, and several fixes for existing Deus Ex bugs all exist in Shifter, along with a new multiplayer component. The mod is so popular it's been featured in Game Informer's July 2007 edition of Mod World; how many Deus Ex mods can say that? (only 3, to be specific) Shifter: "Removing the suck from Deus Ex" since 2002.

I setup 1.9 with HDTP r2, deusex.ini paths priority style with Shifter in it's own directory. HDTP r2 was installed first. I am at JL's jet and have Muscle Fib and Speed augs. So far the following is not working as it did in 1.8.3: - Zyme works but extra desc does not show. In addition, the first person I gave zyme to took it all (Don in brooklyn bridge station). I had 8 vials by then. - Light aug desc states no upgrades but upgrade button works. - Muscle Fib aug does not have correct description. Everything else seems to work fine, not a single crash either. I laughed out loud when I read the Alex - Francis article. Good one. |
