To any of you who have experience modding the game: I've been messing around with UnrealEd. I've learned how to import and change the music and import textures but how do I reskin jc denton? I haven't been able to find much help with google.
That's because it is the forbidden act. You should never want to re-skin JC, unless you're a terrorist.

I had to refer to The Nameless Mod's walkthrough a few times, because it's often not clear what you should be doing: http://thenamelessmod.com/wiki/Walkthrough. Just search the document for your topic to avoid spoiling it too much.

I only came here after consulting their walkthrough. I turned out to be about 90° off from where I needed to be, their walkthrough didn't actually say WHICH of the two walls.

I only found it (last week) after scouring downtown for half an hour, assuming it was on the freestanding buildings, and then resorting to that walkthrough. Not the most polished mod, perhaps.

Yeah, I've been having problems figuring out how to get through this game. It's often really unclear where exactly you have to go or what you have to do. This is often the problem with mods for big games, and makes you appreciate how hard the Deus Ex design team must've worked to push you in the right direction. I can remember being lost once or twice in the original game, but TNM takes this to a ridiculous level.

Some guy recommended Vampire: Bloodlines to me, though, so I probably won't get back to it until I finish this one (holy hell that game is awesome -- how did I miss this when it came out?).

It was released 1/3 finished and is borderline unplayable without a fan patch that's in its 700th version or something insane like that.

But yeah, it owns once you smooth over the cracks. :)

There's no easy way to reskin JC Denton after all is there.

I was planning on replacing the black-jc-denton texture with a new texture I made but I just wasn't having any luck figuring out how. If there's no easy way to then I'd might as well drop it.

Just ignore it. I put off playing the thing for ages because the internet humor sounded lame as hell but it's pretty easy to ignore when you're playing through what is the closest thing available to more Deus Ex.

Yeah I found this a bit at the start too. Once I learned how the map was laid out it got better and then once I could charge at enemies and hack them to bits with the DTS all sins were forgiven.

I was in Hong Kong for work last week and took the opportunity to scout out some Deus Ex locations.

To keep this relevant to the DX:HR forum, let me suggest that this is an ingredient of a classic game. Something that makes such a connection that locations stick on our minds a decade after the game's release, that makes seeing the real locations the game was based on such an awesome experience. It's a big ask, but if Eidos can make something memorable like this, they will have done their jobs.

Wan Chai police station :thumb:




This was cool. Just up the road from the police station was this news stand :cool: Didn't notice any annoying little boys around though


Up this direction a bit is Canal Rd which leads to the cross harbour tunnel, the collapsed bit in Deus Ex where those scientists have been eaten by karkians. I went through there one night.


Tonnochy :cool: There's a Porsche dealership right behind this sign, quite a few of them on the streets.


Tonnochy Rd :cool: Took this about half way along. It also extends further the other way, but it's not very interesting up that way, just a sports ground next door. This is the business end.


Maggie Chow's building was 1313 Tonnochi Rd, so the green sign here was very cool. Not quite right (and the wrong road name), but in about the right place


There's no Queen's Tower here (Chow's building), but there is a King's Hotel. Right next door is Kwan Chart Tower, so kinda similar :cool:


On the opposite side are these apartments, in just the right place to be Jock's :thumb:


Up a side street, Club Tonnochy is on the corner


This was awesome. Alongside Kwan Chart Tower (about where Queen's Tower is in DX) was this alleyway that leads around to some elevators at the back, just like in the game :cool: Also note the security camera in about the same spot too :thumb:

Haha, yea, don't listen to people who try to say the internet humor isn't that bad or noticeable. It is. Still, the mod has a lot of effort into it. I'm playing through it because I just beat DX again and was still in the mood for more DX gameplay.

It feels almost like they started off making a dumb in-joke game, then it got big and complicated enough that they realised it was a dumb idea to make something that masturbationary, but didn't want to change what they'd already made. It's like someone painting with dogshit: It may be a good painting, but it's still made out of dogshit.

Makes me wonder if one could de-gayify the thing by changing text in the mod to something real if you know what I mean. TNM(NG).

You don't have to, it was the trailer plus two team members (Dugas and a dude I don't know) talking about stuff that's been known forever now. Shooter + RPG (I think he used "Action RPG" too), cover system, customizing yourself with upgrades were the basics. And IGN did a bad job at audio levels - it was a francophone accent with the trailer's :words: on top of that so you couldn't make out poo poo.

I think that's harsh. The high quality of the mapping and missions more than make up for the fanfic and clownsuits. Also, Trestkon is way better acted than JC Denton. Prove me wrong.

Ha. I ran into the exact same problem.

Are you using shifter+biomod too?


I even tried chopping up the chair he's sitting on - but he just sedately walks over to another chair. If I chop all those up too - he sedately meanders up the stairs and sits on the couch in one of the hotel rooms.

Chop that and he heads back to the main room and wanders around.

Haha I broke his chair too. But I'm not using Shifter or Biomod, just plain Deus Ex. I think he might have been alarmed by something, because when I returned to the hostel everyone was walking around and some were outside, as if they had been in panic mode and had just calmed down. I can't remember what would have caused that. Maybe I shot someone last time I was there. Oops V:shobon:V

I was just in VersaLife labs where you see Chow and Page talk. However, through some quickloading and quicksaving, I accidentally messed them up so they won't talk and won't proceed as they usually do. Curious, I jumped up to the window...

...only to have Chow suddenly initiate her first conversation with me, which I never ended up having before. Half the talk was spent with the camera somewhere inside of Denton's chin, looking into his invisible hollow head at his back collar.

So I'm replaying this for the first time in probably 9 years and I've just arrived at the 'Ton for the first time. I just cleared out the terrorists (losing only the dude hostage) then found Paul's Blackjack on his coffee table for only using non-lethal up to this point but seeing as how I lost the one hostage I reloaded. Problem is now no matter what I do I can't seem to spawn the Blackjack back. Is this a common glitch?
