Deux Ex and Improved Textures

CrisGer on 17/10/2010 at 18:18

I have seen and collected some improved texture packs for DE but wondered here ..are they worth the putting in? and do they work? does anyone here use them?

thanks for any input...much appreciated in advance.

They're free. How the hell can they not be "worth" trying?

Sorry ..i was not clear...what i meant was ...do they actually work and improve things? it is very nice to have free ad ons and i always appreciate mods of any kind. I was just asking of anyone had tried them and if they really do improve things.....that sort of thing. thanks.

Tastes vary, so there's only one 100% certain way for you to know: Install them and try them.

There's only two graphical mods to bother with anyway-- (http://www.moddb.com/mods/project-hdtp) HDTP and (http://www.moddb.com/mods/deus-ex-new-vision) New Vision.

ZylonBane in stick-in-anus pedantic interpretation of the word "worth" shock horror!

Y'know, you really should've just began your contribution with this. And ended it there. :p Instead, you just had to try to needle the OP with what was, I have to say, an incredibly stupid question.

Here's a youtube vid showing off a high res pack. I'm not sure if thats the one you were looking for, but you can definitely decided if its for you or not without having to do an install.

I just realized recently, people attack ZB for actual faux pas on his part, but all his attacks are nothing more than gloried ad hominem. Ho hum...

OP: Note that in the video bluegrime posted, they're using the (http://enbdev.com/index_en.html) enbseries renderers/wrappers, that add bloom and (slightly) ugly bumpmapping to the maps, and stuff. Sometimes it looks LOVELY, sometimes..not so good. It affects the actual rendering though, so will work with new texture packs or not...though the bumpmapping is better with bigger world textures (I find).

It's also a bit of a resource hog, if you're on a less-than-top-of-the-line machine.
