Sarge’s Changes since Beta 2.2:

• Moved DeusEx.Int to the mod’s System folder, so as to not overwrite any vanilla files. The int file will be handled automatically when using Kentie’s Deus Exe.
• Numerous Bug Fixes
  • Fixed GMDX bug where Intro Cinematic didn’t have subtitles bars, and fixed all cinematics to have a FOV of 75, making them always look accurate to the original game.
  • Fixed a bug where the Nuke and Worm software buttons were completely white squares on the Hacking menu.
  • Fixed GMDX vRSD bug where you could pick up and carry heavy objects while out of energy with the Muscle Augmentation
  • Fixed GMDX vRSD bug allowing using Tech Goggles in the secondary slot for half a second or so when out of charge
  • Fixed the Crosshair Visibility settings in the options getting constantly overridden by lasers etc. The outer crosshairs showing your accuracy are also now linked to the Crosshair visibility setting.
  • Fixed GMDX Bug where EMP’d turrets and cameras will re-enable themselves after the EMP effect runs out, even if they were disabled during the EMP effect.
  • Fixed various issues relating to Crouching, including “standing up” when starting dialogue, female JC using regular footstep sounds while crouched (if using LDDP), and other phantom footstep sounds.
  • Fixed GMDX/Vanilla issue where you could retain your standing accuracy bonus after moving if you stood still for a long time. Now accuracy decreases immediately.
  • Fixed GMDX/Vanilla issue where Environmental Training items would have the same durations at Trained and Advanved due to rounding.
  • Fixed GMDX/Vanilla issue where Darts would display a damage of 20 instead of 18, which is their actual damage.
  • Fixed vRSD bug (feature?) where the player would not cough after using cigarettes if the addiction system was enabled.
  • Fixed Vanilla bug where picking up ammo would add it to the players current clip, rather than their reserve ammo.
  • Fixed GMDX Ammo duplication glitch when looting corpses while having a full inventory.
  • Fixed GMDX bug where frobbing a corpse with the “Decline Knives” setting would sometimes result in no log message being displayed.
    • Additionally, combat knives on corpses are no longer deleted, allowing “Decline Knives” to be turned on and off without preventing access to knives on existing corpses.
  • Fixed GMDX bug where Ford Schick would not give you an upgrade canister when telling you he swiped one, if ConFix isn’t installed. Fixed by adding it to his desk.
  • Fixed a number of typos in various places.
  • Fixed Vanilla bug where sound volume would reset upon new game.
  • Fixed GMDX quickloading not always working correctly, and other save issues including incorrect save-game ordering in the save/load screens.
  • Fixed many other GMDX and Vanilla bugs.
• Quality of Life Improvements:
  • Right-Clicking an item in the belt with the Inventory Window open will clear the slot.
  • The Inventory “Show Ammo” display now always shows the total amount of ammo you can carry. Before, it was only visible when “Show Descriptions” was enabled.
  • A lot of inventory item displays have been improved to show more statistics.
  • Added a Lighting Accessibility setting, which removes some strobing and flickering in certain areas on some maps, such as the ’Ton hotel elevator shaft.
  • Added a new corpse searching setting, “Enhanced Corpse Interactions”, which makes the first right-click on a corpse never pick them up, even if empty, so that you can search them reliably without accidentally picking them up.
    • Additionally added a new setting to show “[Searched]” text after interacting with corpses once, to differentiate between those which have been searched and which have not.
  • Added a new keybinding to stop the currently playing infolink.
  • Completely overhauled the GMDX settings menu to make it simpler, easier to navigate, and with many more options.
  • Edibles and Drugs can now be assigned as secondary items.
  • While having a grenade selected, the crosshair will turn blue when you’re able to place it on a wall.
  • Pressing the walk/run key while crouch toggled will now uncrouch.
  • You can no longer waste medkits or biocells when at maximum health/energy
  • Added alternate weapon offsets to hide many of the visible seams or missing parts of weapon viewmodels.
  • Weapons that don’t use ammo (such as melee weapons) no longer show the Ammo element on the HUD.
  • Modified Weapons will appear with a “+” icon on the belt and in the inventory screen to differentiate them from unmodded ones.
  • Augmentation Wheel improvements
    • While in the augmentation screen, use middle-click on an active augmentation to add or remove it from the augmentation wheel.
    • By default all augmentations will appear on the wheel.
    • The “Disable All” button can optionally be removed using the options menu.
    • The augmentation wheel can be changed to work in Quick mode. In Quick mode, releasing the augmentation wheel key will select the currently highlighted augmentation. Use right click to cancel.
  • In the Inventory screen, charged items will now show their charge level on their icon. Additionally, belt slots containing charged items will show their charge level.
  • Lockpicks and Multitools will no longer be consumed if you look away from an object you’re picking/bypassing. Instead, the action will be cancelled and any progress cancelled.
  • Added an optional “Dynamic Crosshair” mode, which shows a small dot-crosshair when no weapons is equipped, and some items have no crosshairs at all.
    • Also fixed many instances of crosshair weirdness.
  • The hit marker no longer hides the crosshair when it appears.
  • Default Right-Click action (holster/unholster) is no longer blocked by having non-highlighting decorative objects under your crosshair.
  • The Crosshair and Selection Brackets will be hidden when a window or menu is open, as they would previously get in the way of notes and other text.
  • The secondary ammo display for items (when assigned as secondary items) now shows inventory count, rather than always displaying N/A
  • Reloading “One-shot-at-a-time” weapon (shotguns, crossbow, GEP gun) will show the ammo count in the ammo display, rather than ---, because reloading can be cancelled part way through.
  • “One-shot-at-a-time” weapons now have “RDS” instead of “MAGS” on the ammo HUD.
  • “One-shot-at-a-time” weapons have a different formula for calculating reload speed (RDS/SEC).
  • “One-shot-at-a-time” reload cancelling has been made far more responsive.
  • Added an option to display the total amount of ammo remaining, rather than the number of magazines.
  • Different shotgun shells have different textures, and the boxes were reworked to have a different texture for easier identification.
    • Shells also have different sounds when they hit the floor
  • Equipping/Unequipping Environmental Training items gives you a unique sound depending on the item.
  • Pressing the Reload key will no longer reload weapons that have a full clip, unless Trick Reloading is enabled (always enabled on Hardcore).
  • Laser Attachments now re-enable themselves automatically if a weapon is holstered and reselected.
  • Hardcore Mode difficulty selection and Gameplay Settings menu are no longer locked behind completing the game, however they strongly warn against changing them.
  • Double-Click holstering now also works to enable Double Click Unholstering, rather than always unholstering with right-click (with IW toolbelt) or doing nothing (regular Toolbelt)
  • The number of total Lockpicks or Multitools in your inventory is now listed on lockpicking/electronics information windows, allowing you to see how many lockpicks or multitools you have compared to how many are required to bypass a given device or lock.
    • The text is also color coded, showing as yellow when you only just have the amount of tools required, and red if you don’t meet the requirement.
    • If this setting is disabled, lockpicks and multitools will display their total count in the ammo display window, allowing you to easily see how many you have when you don’t have them on your belt.
  • Belt Autofilling can now be disabled in the options.
  • Save Points no longer use Autosave slots, which can be easily overridden by accident, and now create fresh hard-saves instead.
  • The Dialog Screen has been significantly improved
    • A display showing your current credits balance has been added to the upper panel of the Conversation window.
    • The number keys can be used to select dialog topics (and numbered labels will appear beside each option).
    • The Dialog Menu can now use the HUD Color theme, rather than always having blue text.
    • Dialog Menu options can be configured in the option screen.
  • The Nano Keyring now tells you which key was used when locking/unlocking a door.
  • Complete overhaul of “Left-click frobbing”, which happens when left-clicking certain items without an item equipped.
    • Left-Clicking a datacube will pick it up and allow you to carry it.
    • Left-Clicking a breakable box, window or wall will select a melee weapon from your inventory based on a priority list.
      • The priority list is as follows: Chinese Sword, Crowbar, Combat Knife, Baton, Dragon Tooth Sword.
      • If you don’t have the weapon or the weapon deals less damage than the breakable object’s DT, it’ll go to the next one in the priority list.
      • The DT check is disabled on hardcore, so it simply checks the weapon’s priority and equips it even if it won’t deal enough damage to break the container.
    • Left-Clicking on a door will pull out the Nano Keyring if you have the correct key, otherwise it will pull out a lockpick.
      • This behaviour is disabled in Hardcore mode
      • In Hardcore, Left-Clicking on a door will always pull out a lockpick (or the keyring if the lock is unpickable or you have no lockpicks). Right-clicking will then swap between the keyring and lockpicks.
    • Left-Clicking on a corpse will always pick it up regardless of inventory. Double-Rightclick still works.
  • Right-Clicking with the Keyring equipped will select your last used weapon.
  • The Pedometer can now be viewed in the Health screen when using the Addiction system.
  • Subtitles are now enabled in third-person cutscenes regardless of Subtitles setting, allowing text to show instead of useless black bars while also not displaying in-game barks. This can be disabled using the bSubtitlesCutscene option in DeusEx.ini
  • Added “Belt Memory”. When belt memory is enabled, using the last item in a belt slot will keep a darkened version of the item’s icon in the toolbelt
    • Regardless of the Autofill setting, no other items will be added to the item’s slot automatically.
    • Regardless of the Autofill setting, all items of the remembered type will be automatically added to the belt slot when picked up.
    • Belt memory can be overridden by manually adding an item to a given belt slot at any time, and can be cleared by right-clicking on a belt slot.
    • Items dropped from the inventory or via the drop key will not be remembered, to allow easily throwing away unwanted junk without affecting the belt.
  • Right-Clicking items in the belt while the inventory screen is open will clear the belt slot.
  • Invisible War Toolbelt improvements and bugfixes
    • Fixed bug where selected icon in the belt was forgotten between game sessions.
    • With Double Click Unholstering enabled, a single-rightclick will unholster a weapon if the selection was changed.
    • Pressing a number key again while its slot is selected will set it as the primary selection.
    • Added “Classic Mode”. In Classic Mode, right-clicking while having a belt item selected which is not the primary selection will select the primary selection, similar to GMDX v9.
    • Fixed GMDX bug where you could scroll to empty slots when using the IW toolbelt.
  • “Smart Keyring” support added.
    • When Smart Keyring is enabled, the keyring will no longer occupy belt slot 0, allowing it to be used for regular items.
    • The keyring can be selected using Left-Click Frob on doors.
• Gameplay Changes:
  • The Dragons Tooth Sword now requires Biocells to use. It starts with 100% charge, with each attack taking 2% if it hits a target, giving you 50 hits total. Biocells restore 20% (or 30% with the Field Repair perk), giving you an additional 10 (15) hits each.
  • Reverted GMDX change limiting Assault Rifles, Assault Shotguns and Sawed Off’s to 4 damage mods. Now they can have 5 just like everything else.
    • This was done because of integer truncation. In GMDX v9, the 5th upgrade would change their base damage from 4.2 to 4.5, which was pointless as it was rounded to 4 either way.
    • With vRSD partial damage calculations were added, so this is now relevant again.
  • Augmentation Changes
    • Some augmentations have been given a short cooldown on use. The Spy Drone retains it’s 30 second cooldown.
      • Augmentations that need to recharge after use (including the Spy Drone) will show a red icon in the Augmentations window while they are recharging.
    • EUAS
      • Swapped Level 2 and 3, because level 2 was arguably better than level 3. Now level 2 detects environmental hazards, level 3 shows visibility on the HUD.
      • Level 2 “Hazard Detection” now detects multiple threats (not just one at random), and can also detect grenades. Only the closest gas cloud will be shown, to reduce clutter.
        • Detection Range also increases at Level 3.
    • Aggressive Defense System:
      • Will no longer display explosives which aren’t detonated, so it can’t be used to detect placed grenades at long range anymore
        • Will instead continue to display destroyed projectiles on the HUD for a second or so after they are destroyed.
      • Now only beeps as projectiles enter range, to prevent annoying earrape
      • Range increased from 340/480/640/800 to 400/600/800/1000
      • Added Player Damage Reduction for projectiles detonated by ADS. Reduces damage from projectiles by 20%/30%/40%/50%
  • Hacking Overhaul
    • Bypassing Turrets now requires Advanced hacking, as in Vanilla.
    • Hacked Cameras and Turrets will “reboot” and become re-enabled again after 2 minutes (plus an additional 2 minutes for each level of the Hacking skill)
    • Hacking a security computer terminal will disable it and show an access denied message instead, similar to ATMs (Optional, always enabled in Hardcore).
      • The number of times a computer can be hacked is based on your Computers skill.
      • Regular computers will never be locked out, so you can read email to your hearts content.
  • Normalized damage from the Plasma Rifle, PS20, the flamethrower, and explosives.
    • Now they will use the same damage multiplier across all limbs, making the damage more reliable against enemies.
    • This also means you will take less damage from plasma and explosives to your torso and head.
  • Charged Objects no longer destroy themselves on use in Hardcore mode.
  • The rifle’s grenade launcher doesn’t require reloading to turn on, but you need to reload after each shot. It now works like a different weapon.
  • Increased the sawed off shotgun’s pellet count from 8 to 9, and decreased shot speed from 1.3 to 1.2.
  • Rubber shells are now hitscan with a harmless projectile.
  • Restricted Saving is now a Playthrough Modifier and is no longer restricted to Hardcore Mode. It’s still enforced in Hardcore Mode.
  • Added No Console Access Playthrough Modifier, which prevents using the console (disallows cheats) while playing.
  • Added No Keypad Cheese Playthrough Modifier (called “Unknown Codes”) which prevents using keypads or computer logins without having found them beforehand. Some codes which are hinted but never given are excepted.
  • AI Behaviour Changes
    • Enemies will now have a small delay (usually between 0.1 and 0.6) seconds before firing after losing sight of the player.
      • This has almost no effect on normal gameplay, other than reducing enemies ability to instantly shoot as they strafe around corners, resulting in frustrating one-shots.
      • Enemies can now always fire while strafing (was previously a 90% chance). This makes them slightly more aggressive, but combined with the previous change doesn’t make them more frustrating.
  • You now take stamina damage from poison, to encourage better management of your stamina bar and give aqualung/ahtletics an indirect buff in combat.
  • Increased ballistic armor durability loss by double, untrained enviro has the same values.
  • Added Door Locking mechanics
    • You can now lock any door you have the nanokey for, plus any doors you have picked previously if you have the Locksport perk (this is retroactive).
    • Enemies cannot open doors which you have locked (Enemies can still open doors that are initially locked in the map unless you lock them)
  • When using Restricted Saving (and Hardcore Mode), Autosaves are now only created the first time upon entering a new level, or if no save has been performed in the last 15 minutes. This is designed to mitigate save-abuse by crossing between maps.
  • Weapon Mod, Enemy Weapon and Container Randomisation gameplay modifiers now use a table of predetermined random numbers, generated at the start of the game, rather than randomising on map load. This means that you can no longer reroll randomisation for a given map by loading a save before a transition to a new map.
  • Perk System Rework
    • Environmental Training Perks:
      • Filter Upgrade (NEW TRAINED): An agent uses an upgraded hazmat suit that filters out harmful chemicals, removing stamina damage from poison and tear gas entirely.
      • Blast Padding (NEW ADVANCED): An agent’s ballistic vest is fitted with a protective layer that reduces susceptibility to self-damage from explosive and plasma weaponry (-75%).
      • Chameleon (NEW MASTER): An agent modifies thermoptic camo output that enables the user to pass through laser alarms undetected.
      • Thermal Imaging (REWORKED MASTER): An agent modifies tech goggle functionality, implementing short-ranged sonar scanning which enables the user to see potential threats through solid material.
  • Addiction System Rework
    • Alcohol no longer heals for 5 points. Instead, it temporarily gives you 5 torso HP (along with it’s usual 5 extra torso Max-HP) while in effect, which is removed afterwards. This health removal cannot kill the player.
    • Alcohol no longer adds to fullness when the addiction system is enabled
    • Zyme no longer removes 10HP if the addiction system is enabled.
• Miscellaneous Changes:
  • Added an “Alternate Start” option, which skips the first part of the game and starts at the MJ12 Lab. You will start with nothing, so this is extra hardcore.
  • The “You Found:” message when searching corpses has been removed. The actual items are still listed, only the extra message is removed.
  • The Paris Metro Police have been changed to using pistols only (from Assault Shotguns and Assault Rifles), to ensure more 10mm ammo is available in the late game, as well as to reinforce their status as the puppet regime under MJ12.
  • Added a number of new HUD themes, including themes styled around Splinter Cell, NSF, Human Revolution and more. Most themes are based on ones created by GEPGUN, with some modifications.
  • Added several new high-quality sounds in cases where interactions didn’t have sounds, or used the same sounds for multiple interactions.
    • Added equip/unequip sounds for the Lockpick, Nanokey and Multitool, which were previously silent.
    • Additionally replaced some sounds with higher quality versions, such as the lockpicking sound.
  • Implemented optional Lay-D Denton support. If installed, Lay-D Denton support will be automatically activated.
    • The Lay-D Denton colour scheme is included and can be selected from the Colors menu.
    • When Lay-D Denton is installed, a new Gameplay Modifier is available, which will add the extra NPC’s added by the LDDP mod.
    • Without the Gameplay Modifier, only Chet, Russ and a few other NPC’s are added where necessary to maintain immersion and gameplay balance for female characters. These characters do not appear for male JC
