DXSG Out, DXAG In

After a long time of [A]Nobody hosting the DXSG server we were sad to see the mod which was hosted regularly by him go down earlier this month. DXSg also known as the stargate mod is known for its use of ring transporters and tactical weapons, such as the Tar and OICW. Other custom made weapons which come with the map are the neutron which kills anyone it touchs and the superrocket, which can be devasting to enemies.

The two maps hosted on the server, which became a favourite for a big number of people were DXSG_Area51Bunker and DXSG_CMD., mostly noted for their airfield base(or secret base) which could be accessed by the ring transporter.

During its time being hosted on [A]Nobody's server new weapons such as the teleporter mod which took the form as a device which allowed you to use the rings more easily.

While it had its problems at the start, with teamkillers, it became very popular with server being filled with at least 10 people at a time on a regular bases.

After SG was taken down, another Mod took its place, DXAG. Arx Genus.

Made by Mr. Black and around for some time, dxag applies the use of different classes which players can choose to be. Each class having its own unique weapons and inventory belt along with three diffrent augs.


Maps hosted are among them DXMP_Landerneau, Area51Bunker, Smuggler, and Zan Goh

The classes include: Soldiers: Equiped with assualt rifles along with a pistol and combat knife, with combat strength and ballistic strength.

Engineers: Flamethrower, an assualt shotgun and a vrowbar, with the augs such as spy drone.

Stealth: A dragon tooth sword, throwing knifes and a knife, with augs such as cloak, speed, and radar transparency.

A new version of DXAG is rumored to being made soon.



New Server
While GM is well and truly gone, being down for over two months now, with no sign of it returning back to deus ex , new paid servers are being hosted, notably the ren server
hosted by clanit, a 0aug server, which has not attracted people as GM did, will hopefully progress over the months.

In augs some servers worth mentioning are [G3] Ste's, a paid server, "Gods Kitchen-Ste's" an ATDM server which can have quite a number of people some times.

First four object phases released for HDTP

The first four object phases have been released for the high definiton texture pack mod.

Basically the hdtp mod adds more depth and detail to the game, with a higher resolution on objects weapons and characters.

The orginal deus ex game had textures of resolutions as low as 32X 32, however hdtp promise a much higher resolution, that of a maximum of 256. A huge increase.
But in saying this, the file is turning to be huge already, with the beta recently released to be 17.5 mb and if that's anything to go by, the finished product will be a lot bigger than this. This puts the question of whether it is worth getting with such a big file size.
The HDTP think so, still working away busily at the mod, which has been in developement over three years.

They promise all objects to be remoddeled and retextured, with brand new models to go match the high resolution skins. Models will be individual with each npc having its own model. Models that need animating will be reanimated to add to the high resolution. Characheters have more realism and finally, all weapons and vehicle models will be skinned, reanimated and remoddelled.

The object phase, while the team have admitted won't be astonisingly perfect and amazing, will be a little teaser of what to expect, the beta including a demo map, to show off the remodelled objects, two of the hdtp weapons, the crowbar and baton, the character, Gunther Hermann and the remoddeled objects from stages one to four.

While the mod isn't going to be released anyime soon, with work needed on the weapons and vehicles, this is sometime to keeep an eye out for.

File of the Month:

An appreciation must be shown for the nepyths mod made by Zora and WingedUnicorn, who really saved the community of deus ex, when it was in some trouble.
Nepyths does a number of things, its most important feautres however preventing people from crashing servers, with rja attacks etc. This will protect your server against all common attacks from people who think its fun to crash servers.
Other feautres include tracking ips, so you can log all the aliases of players who have visted your server, making it hell for aliasers!
Attached, the newest version 1.3, released on the 1st of October. Enjoy.

Screenshots Galore!
