If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our old trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:

See the full README here. Also check out our Discord and Mods4Ever.com

Major Changes

Added new contributor, MQDuck, to the credits!
New AugBot, similar to a MedBot but it cannot heal, only install augmentations.
- If there is no MedBot spawned for the map, then there is a default of 15% chance for an AugBot to be spawned. This can reduce the annoyance of carrying an augcan forever looking for a MedBot, especially on higher difficulties.
New bingo goals and many bingo fixes
Options for New Game+ scaling in the Advanced menu
Fixed Revision crash due to Jock's BindName
Fixed New Game+ in Revision
Support for vanilla maps inside of Revision
Help text for when you can left click to activate items or right click to apply weapon mods
Charged pickups (armor, camo, hazmat, tech goggles) descriptions now show duration for each skill level
Fixed BingoViewer crash
Crowd Control fixes
WaltonWare dockyard start now automatically gets the hookup from Vinny
Laser mod now turns on automatically when you equip the weapon (optional in the Rando settings menu)
Some maps now have goals rando notes (look in your Images tab), just click the Goal Locations or Goal Spoilers button.
- You can also click on one of the spots for more info.
Fixed characters using custom DrawScale values (Baby Karkians, MiBs)
Added Baby Karkians and Baby Grays to the random enemies pool

Minor Changes

Click to expand Minor Changes

Trashcans can now drop trashbags, and flaming barrels can now drop flaming debris
Critters (birds, rats, fish) now have 1 HP
Fixed Toby Atanwe dialog so you can stay in the Paris Metro if you want
Scaled zone damage with CombatDifficulty better
Fixed NSF HQ alliance trigger exploit
Show health and minimum damage for decorations
Object descriptions centered on crosshair instead of in the corner of the highlight box
More endgame quotes
Fixed grenade loss when throwing a grenade while turning towards a wall
Stats for kills and knockouts in the credits
Fix for 14_Vandenberg_Sub subbay doors
Tweaked Paris Chill %. Instead of it being the chance to remove each individual enemy, it's now the chance of Paris either being completely chill or completely not chill.

I finally got around to playing a bit of this today and it seems really great so far.

I tried the Linux installer and I don't think it worked correctly with my steam install, all it did was create a DXRando folder, so I had to copy everything out of it to the main folders for the mod to load. I saw DXRando.exe mentioned on the github but I don't have it anywhere. I already had the Kentie launcher and weirdly enough before I copied anything the window title for the game was still "Deus Ex Randomizer", but it didn't actually load the mod.

we don't actually use the separate DXRando.exe for Linux it's just DeusEx.exe, on Linux it's not easy to tell Steam Play/Proton to launch a different filename so this makes it much simpler for Linux/Steam Deck users

when using Kentie's Launcher, check the "Data Directories" button and make sure DXRando is checked

This is what I see for Data Directories, doesn't seem like I can actually check anything here.

Maybe just an issue with the launcher then?

[-] Die4Ever@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

I think it's not drawing the checkboxes correctly? That looks a lot like it does on Windows except on Windows I have checkboxes lol, I'll have to check in Linux later. But you can just manually edit the config. The start screen of Kentie's Launcher has a little link in the bottom right to open the DXRando.ini or DeusEx.ini config file

Click it to open the file, ctrl+f for Paths= and you should find something like

[Core.System]
PurgeCacheDays=30
SavePath=..\SaveDXRando
CachePath=..\Cache
CacheExt=.uxx
Suppress=DevLoad
Suppress=DevSave
Suppress=DevNetTraffic
Suppress=DevGarbage
Suppress=DevKill
Suppress=DevReplace
Suppress=DevSound
Suppress=DevCompile
Suppress=DevBind
Suppress=DevBsp
Paths=..\DXRando\System\*.u
Paths=..\DXRando\Maps\*.dx
Paths=..\Music\*.umx
Paths=..\Sounds\*.uax
Paths=..\Textures\*.utx
Paths=..\Maps\*.dx
Paths=..\System\*.u

with the DXRando paths at the top of the Paths list like mine is. If you need help you can just show me what you have.

I should have checked the ini before I did, but I was curious so I reinstalled the game and mod, and it loaded fine this time. I'd installed everything from this guide on steam (gee if only someone made an installer that does most of those lol), so I'm guessing some conflict there.

Having a lot of fun with the mod though, and I love all the QoL and balance tweaks. Thanks for this!

thanks! it may be possible the wiki is out of date or is missing something for Linux, I'll have to look over it again

if you use Discord we've got some active chat in there (I wish I could convince everyone to use Lemmy! lol) https://mods4ever.com/discord
