Deus Ex Randomizer v2.5.6 released with AugBots and more

gaylord_fartmaster, 3 months ago

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?

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

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 it may be possible the wiki is out of date or is missing something for Linux, I’ll have to look over it again
