The literal downfall of this mod is the fact that it has to be ran as a mutator. That keeps it from working in the singleplayer ladder and online. Speaking of online, you'll probably want to contact the guy who develops ACE (UT99's main anti-cheat) to get it whitelisted else everyone who connects to a protected server will instantly be kicked.

Please post an update

If you ever redo the intro, PLEASE REFERENCE THE PLAYSTATION 2 VERSION FOR INSPIRATION. The reason I emphasize that is because the original PC version was too revealing and very much spoiled a large portion of the game by revealing the identities of those behind everything. The PS2 version of the intro kept their faces shrouded and kept their names out of the subtitles. I was lucky to have played that version before playing it on PC and I know it made a huge difference in my gameplay experience and I imagine it would for any new player jumping into the series with this remake.

Figured it out. As one of the previous comments stated, create a folder titled Dreamcast in the root directory of the engine to place the mod in.

Anyone get this working with ioQuake3?

Interesting work, but the default tesselation settings for Unreal Tournament definitely need some work, especially when playing with higher FOV. There's a lot of ballooning going on as well as some nasty visculling causing a lot of black surfaces on models.

It truly is sad that this didn't materialize. UC2 was the single most unique game in the franchise, in my honest opinion the only hero shooter worth a damn, and didn't get the attention it deserved on the original XBOX.

This with GMDX will be THE ultimate Deus Ex experience. Especially true of the authors of GMDX and Revision would put their differences aside enough to allow both of those mods to work together.

There's only a couple of things I can think of that would seriously improve upon what you guys are aiming for. The first is to mod the intro to more resemble that of the one in the PS2 version to avoid showing too many details that would spoil the game (in the PS2 intro, Walton Simons and Bob Page were shrouded and their faces weren't visible nor were their names in the subtitles, the poorly animated fight in Hell's Kitchen was omitted, and the intro had a much colder feel). The next would be for someone to figure out how to redo the horrible animations that exist to more resemble the motion captured ones in the PS2 version.

I got two suggestions that would improve this mod that I got from playing the PS2 version of DX as well as the new Human Revolution. First one is to redo the intro so that it doesn't expose every animation flaw in the game and keeps Bob Page and Walton Simons identities concealed (you didn't know who these guys were in the PS2 intro as you couldn't see their faces and their names didn't appear in the subtitles, look it up on youtube). The second one should be fairly easy, but it would really improve things. Make it so that you can move a corpse without having to loot it.

You can use Dresura to play it under Linux.

From what I've seen and played, this mod kicks a lot of *** and I now prefer PC Deus Ex to PS2 Deus Ex (which had A LOT of clean ups). Though there's a few notes you should take from the PS2 version. Two major improvements that can be made would be having NPCs drop whatever you can't carry when you go to move their bodies (PS2 version had this, made things much easier), and fixing the intro so that it's less revealing AND doesn't show every freaking animation flaw in the game. Something similar to the PS2 version (look it up on youtube to see what I'm talking about) without the lines cut out would really improve the game for new players, especially if you can find a way to keep Bob and Walton's identities hidden (you couldn't see their names or faces in the PS2 intro).

It's been too long. This feels so new and old at the same time. despite all the changes I'm still getting a sense of nostalgia. I'm glad to see that someone actually took the initiative to create one of the BEST experiences of the post 2D era.

Shadow recently posted on the UT99 Extension Pack page. Real life got in the way of his development, but it looks like he may have started developing again.

*Wipes Red Bull off of screen* Holy ****! Is that Shadow posting? Nice to see you posting again. Real life can be a bitch sometimes, hell my PC blew up about a month ago and it's going to take me until near the end of February to get my next one built. So you've jumped back into developing this SDK?

So this is going to make the PC version every bit as good as the PS2 one?

You think she would have a hard time maneuvering around dodging shots wearing all that heavy clothing.

Reminds me of Crysis on it's highest settings.

I hear ya. Out of the box UT3 sucks.

Bad news: I saw posts on UT99.org a few weeks ago saying that this project has been canned and the official section for this was recently removed from the site. I still haven't seen any confirmation from Shadow yet, but it looks like this project may very well have been cancelled.

He posted on the official forum recently. This project IS still in development. Official forum here: Ut99.org

He posted this on June 18th on UT99.org: "Nothing new. I have no time. It slowly faded into No-Time-State. I'll continue work during Summer-Vacations, if I should be at home, don't expect that I'm going to code at my girlfriends PC !" This is going to take longer than what was initially posted, but I'm sure he hasn't given up on the project.

Holy crap how did I miss this? Tracking.

I still enjoy playing the original one that started as a UT99 mod. It's hard to play any of the CS games if you've ever played TO: AoT (Because TO kicks the **** of CS). I hope they remake Dragon (One of the best maps in ANY game) and have most of the original soundtrack included with the mod (especially the ones used on Trooper ][ and Dragon).

Still alive Shadow?

The Counter-Strike KILLER is making a return!

I wonder if Mortal Kombat's Raiden (doubt it) is going to be in this version. This is an Epic approved mod so it wouldn't surprise me (much) if they're able to include him.

Holyshit! You got that much completed already? I'm struggling just to get a text-based adventure (tech-school project) done right now.

H O L Y S H I T!!!
