Serious question: is there a script dump for Deus Ex anywhere? I'm wondering how many easter eggs / missable content would turn up.

There's one on gamefaqs, but I don't think it completely covers everything.

Gunther's post-mission dialogue after freeing and arming him in the statue is missing, at least. Which is a shame, because it's one of my favorites. He actually defends JC's sunglasses to Anna because "That way we can tell it is not Paul."

It's in mp3 format inside System\DeusExConAudioHK_Shared.u. You can use e.g. Dragon Unpacker to extract it, but the file contains thousands of mp3s, so I've no idea which one has that particular line.

It's as finished as it's going to be anyway.

I should mention the updated look also greatly increases the ambiance. When you're in Alex's office for the first time and his little tech tables include moving drone maps of areas and things it gives it much more of a feel of a surveillance office of an International Anti-Terrorist office than its previous spartan appearance.

There's also stuff to look at like a new whiteboard in the conference room with stuff scrawled on it that's also slightly silly such as "What is AMBROSIA!!?" which you'd think wouldn't really be a question being asked in UNATCO HQ.

I should do a video walkthrough of certain areas and what you might see with New Vision and that new model mod, maybe.

I'm guessing you mean engine.dll. But anyway, you extracted the files to the wrong folder. Extract deusex.exe and the three other files to the Deus Ex\System folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\deus ex\System\ if you're using the Steam version).

Make sure you've got the Visual C++ 2010 runtimes (if the application gives an error about 'MSVCRT100.DLL' missing) download here. Note that this 32 bit version is also right for 64 bit operating systems, as the game is a 32 bit executable.

This article goes through what happened with the development process of Deus Ex. Basically the opposite happened, they had tons of ideas and had to cut down what they were going to do for the game.

Keep fronting like youse a thug and get ya dome pushed back
Having some trouble getting this to run in 1920x1080 (or any decent 16x9 resolution) I've tried adjusting it to 1600x900 in the game but it either resets to 640x480 or sets the resolution correctly but the screen is off to the right or left by like two inches. Then I tried Deus Exe in the op but that's not helping out either. I've tried running it in admin mode, anyone know what could be wrong?

e- Also tried to use windowed mode but I don't prefer it and the low gamma makes it of unplayable. I can't change the gamma in windowed mode.

You run the game once so the files are extracted from the GCF then you move the Biomod file to the Deus Ex directory exactly like you do for a normal install.

Never run across this. I'd reinstall, make sure you've properly installed the updated exe, change rendering to openGL or Direct3D (depending on which you were using. You should be adjusting the resolution in the exe launcher box before you start the game. Failing all that I'd reinstall.
