In 2049, unsavory conditions are rampant throughout the world. As soon as it becomes clear that a terrorist attack in Shenzhen, China, was carried out by perpetrators with ties to international groups and that Hong Kong may be their next target - the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition (UNATCO) dispatches their first nano-augmented agent, Mad Ingram, into the city to prevent the situation from escalating any further.


DXN - Deus Ex: Nihilum is a First Person Shooter mod set in an alternate Deus Ex continuity.

- Encrypted datacubes: Remember, once you've hacked an encrypted datacube, you have to click on it again to make the datacube information window disappear.
- General rule on hacking: Keep in mind that you do not need this skill to advance the main plot itself. However, its general usefulness cannot be underestimated!

Initial Story (Main Campaign)
2049. Unsavory conditions are rampant throughout the world. As soon as it becomes clear that a terrorist attack in Shenzhen, China, was carried out by perpetrators with ties to international groups and that Hong Kong may be their next target - the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition (UNATCO) dispatches their first nano-augmented agent, Mad Ingram, into the city to prevent the situation from escalating any further.

Initial Story (Epilogue DLC)
2052. The Gray Death epidemic is spreading like wildfire across the world. UNATCO Agent Mad Ingram has been ordered to kill Greg Powell - a wanted international terrorist reportedly in possession of illegally acquired ambrosia. Currently hiding somewhere in the American city of North Monroe, agent Ingram has to get rid of Powell and secure the ambrosia before it's too late.

Enormous thanks to everyone who had a part in making the mod - RetroXor and fender2k1 above anyone else - and to everyone who played it!


The original version of the mod (first released on May 28th 2013) was replaced with the Final Anniversary Update (1.7) on December 21st 2018.

And that's all, folks! It was a pleasure for me to make one last return to the best game ever made:
Deus Ex.

I wish you all the best. :]

I just installed the mod and my Mad Ingram looks really weird. His texture is all messed up. What caused this?

Do you have HDTP installed? If yes, you need to disable the HDTP model for JC Denton in the HDTP settings.

(The intentionally HDTP model of Mad Ingram in the DLCs should appear fine regardless of the setting, but you still might have to disable the HDTP JC Denton model there as well)

I had the same problem. Just want to add a small detail in case someone else has a problem too.
In my case HDTP-settings were manuaaly set to False for everyone, but Global was set to All. And there were also a problem.
Solution was to set Global = Custom.

Yeah, that fixed it. Thanks for replying so quickly. But I wish that was in the ReadMe file.

Hi, enjoying the mod so far, but ran into a game-breaking problem.
In the level Woodfibre - Stafford Fortress the game crashes every time I enter the loading zone for the next area, near the ladder. The game freezes for a while and then I get a Windows error box saying "ReadFile failed: Count=0 Length=130607 Error=Data error (cyclic redundancy check)". Do you have any idea how I could circumvent this issue? Is there maybe a console command for teleporting into that next area I could try? Thanks.

Can you take a screenshot of the area where it crashes?

I don't think I've heard of that issue in that level before - if you've saved your game before that area, sometimes just reloading the savegame helps and the crash won't occur again. I'm not sure if it's the exact same error, but sometimes the area around the elevator to the Red Arrow hideout in the first Hong Kong hub causes a crash (it might be the same "cyclic redundancy check" stuff), but (in my cases) doesn't happen again if a savegame is reloaded..

Here's a screenshot, the crash happens during the loading screen once I walk forward from here: Imgur.com

My last save file before this level is back at the NYC streets, but I'll try quickly getting to this area again from there to see if the issue will be gone.

Okay, in this case the next level starts from the exact spot where that end-level teleporter should take you to.

So at that spot, you should just use the command "open 64_Woodfibre_Tunnels.dx" to get to the next level (then, after saving the game, try going back up the ladder and see if the crash happens again)

Unfortunately it turns out that doing that command has the same effect as walking into the loading zone and the same crash happens. I even tried the command at the Cutter estate but to no avail. I also ran to Woodfibre from my earlier save but it ended the same way.

Damn - sorry, I've got no idea what the issue could be :\ The Red Arrow one I mentioned indeed gets fixed (so far) by reloading the previous save game, but this sounds like a different issue. I guess the only way is to load the NYC savegame, continue from there to the next level and see if the problem occurs again.

Other thing to try could be reverting to a previous version of Kenties' launcher Kentie.net (the latest DXN packages use the last version 8.1)
