Interest for this mod has dropped from what it used to be on systemshock.org, and it isn't surprising as this community is dedicated to System Shock, not Deus Ex (even if they are blood brothers), but since there's been no word here since v8.0 release I'm just going to notify you what the verdict on GMDX is:#646
Aggregated review rating is 9.7/10.
Winner of Moddb's 2014 Mod of the Year Wordly Award.

-jcelios
"I can honestly say that GMDX represents the definitive Deus Ex experience."

I've also got a patch & Russian localization in the works.

it is time - about 30 minutes into the first level, this is what I've got;#648
the bad:
-needs to be run as admin, does nothing if not ran as one. probably not something that can be fixed from your side.
-aaargh the custom UI themes popping onto me after first run. I know, two clicks to disable, but being greeted by the classic would be preferable.
-mantling, while very welcome as a mechanic, is just awkward, especially for someone used to the smoothness of the NewDark mantle.
-some hires assets feel slightly too hires for their own good, but I acknowledge that this is probably just a matter of adjusting my eyes a bit. they also make the remaining unupgraded vanilla assets stick out like a sore thumb (the bushes vs trees).
-woah, running around crouched is fast (no augs, no skills). was it that fast in vanilla? would tone it down one way or another. //looks like I have some sort of fps limit problem, the entire game is running too fast. //yep, and the game just ignores all my attempts to limit the fps, forcing me to run in win9x compatibility mode, which does fix the problem (not liking that too much, but I've little choice. I'm on win7, btw). one would expect that this would be the first thing the updated renderer would fix, but guess not.
-ran into (what I believe is) a bug, the crossbow received from Paul has 4 trq darts loaded, and after acquiring more trq darts, the weapon wouldn't see the extra rounds (and refuse to reload) until I changed to a different ammo and back to trq.
the good:
-generally, the upgraded visuals fell nice and smooth.
-more stuff around/less emptiness/slight expansions of some areas have done the game good (so far).
-combat feels less awkward.
-I don't mind the extra weapons so far.
-it's good to have mantle.
-enjoying the bugfixes and fixed exploits.
more to come.

Really? But Shock mantling is too smooth and unnatural. You just interpolate straight up and then straight forward in a robotic linear motion, no camera interpolation effects, no animation, no audio effects...
I've recently improved the mantling further too, which you can see here (note the OP Blink augmentation in that video will not officially be in the mod, it was just an experiment).

Yeah...visually speaking Deus Ex will never be modded as uniformly-focused and consistently as this community has for Shock, but I've tried to make things a bit more consistent.

I'll check the relevant code.

Yeah, just fixed this the other day.

The weapons in hindsight I think were out of place (regarding art style only) and I removed them in the latest unreleased build. I want it to be perfect, nothing should feel out of place, as if this were the work of the developers themselves had they continued building, much the same as things generally go around here although with perhaps a slightly less purist approach, more a progressive one, like say Secmod. Most people feel I've already succeeded in that, but there's some inconsistencies and I think this was one of them. Saying that the additional weapons in Secmod feel a bit out of place visually too, but of course they improve the gameplay on a basic level.
Anyway, refer to this for info on how to use the new player-controlled mechanics that are not explained in-game, like new inventory shortcuts that make things a lot less tedious, and zooming in/out with scopes. Also check out the rest of the stuff on the site if you want a refresher on the stuff the mod does. Not everything is listed, but that's the majority of it.
