- Installation -
- back up DeusEx.int in DeusEx\System if you really want to; it seems to redundantly
contain a bunch of text from DeusEx.u, overriding many of my changes
- unzip to DeusEx\System
- open DeusEx.ini in DeusEx\System and above the line that reads
"Paths=..\System\*.u"
add a new line with
"Paths=..\System\Smoke39\*.u"
- also in DeusEx.ini, make sure "DefaultGame" is equal to "DeusEx.DeusExGameInfo"
(if this pertains to you, you'll probably be messing up another mod by doing this step)
- open User.ini and make sure "Class" is equal to "DeusEx.JCDentonMale"
(if this pertains to you, you'll probably be messing up another mod by doing this step)

- Description -
Changes a bunch of details in DX to spiff up the game. Some things that have been changed
or added that aren't explained or necessarily apparent in-game are:
- You can now "duck-jump" like in Half-Life. Just crouch in mid-air and you'll be able to
climb onto higher things.
- You can reduce fall damage by pressing crouch half a second before you land, ducking
into the fall and absorbing some of the impact.
- If you run, crouch, and immediately press jump before releasing crouch, you'll long jump.
- Crouching and then jumping just after releasing crouch will execute a high jump.
- Dropping the combat knife at trained low tech skill or better will cause you to throw the
knife.
- Crouching with a rifle or heavy weapon will reduce recoil and scope view waver, and
increase the rate at which the weapon's accuracy increases while still.
- Damage dealt is converted to a number of skill points that go toward the next skill level
of the weapon used.
- If a part of your body takes enough damage, augs installed in that slot (excluding health
regeneration) won't work until you heal that body part sufficiently.
- An aug canister containing an aug you already have installed can be used to upgrade that
aug. A medbot is still required to do this.
- The spydrone can activate buttons and switches, use computers and keypads, and read
datacubes and other information devices.
- Charged items can be deactivated now.
- Ballistic armor and hazmat suit charges are reduced based on relevant damage taken as
opposed to idle use.
- IR goggles now 1: actually let you see people in the dark, and 2: allow you to see people
through walls a bit.
- Your swimming skill determines your weapon accuracy while swimming.
- Holding fire before throwing a grenade will cause you to throw it farther.
Besides those changes and additions, keep your eyes open and try different things. Some
bugs and logic have been fixed, though there's still some stuff I'd like to change sometime
in the future. There are also a few additions that are a bit quirky in a few situations.
Nothing major. Worst case, they just look kinda out of place. Also, don't bother trying to
play this in multiplayer.
