Ugh.. to answer your question..
JimBowen was one of the best DXMP coders.
He used to be in GODZ back in 2003. He was one reason for me to join GODZ at that days.
He initially showed me, how to mod and helped me with my first things, when I was a noob at coding.
The Bowen mod era started in early 2003, as far as I remember.
His first bigger mod was called Bowen3. That based on tnag and was also pretty noob like coded but it was AWESOME!
It contained some neat nuclear grenades called core grenades. That mod also contained the famous GODZ Sentinel bots (or also called Bowen bots), which were 10 meters tall and almost immortal. They were shooting with some dodgy green radiation spheres.
Furthermore it contained an awesome shrapnel grenade and shrapnel cannon.
Then, perhaps a little bit later, he made a first version of BowenLite.
That BowenLite has nothing in common with the latest BowenLite yet.
It just contained a modified keypad, called GODZKeypad, that that every GODZ member had his/her secret code to enter the GODZ only area.
God.. that was an amazing time...
Then he started a new mod, that should contain new weapons and effects, called Bowen. That one became bigger and bigger.
He coded..
a Remote Exploding disc launcher,
an Osiris orbital plasma cannon,
a homing missile launcher,
a Teleport gun,
a disarm grenade,
a vortex grenade,
a radiation cannon,
a rocket pod launcher,
and some other things.

Because of its size, Jim decided to split the mod, into BowenLite (that contained the light things, like his famous teleport gun, or his disclauncher)
and into the weapon package BowenCC and its depending package for models BowenCust.

And THAT was hosted yesterday.
Any questions?

EDIT: so far the Deus Ex modding community has only come up with one way to make the physics better... its called Deus Ex reborn and it is a mod for Unreal Tournament 2004. I don't know if they are doing it that way because they don't want to mod the existing engine or if its because they can't mod it.

And yes, I know, too many osiris.. xD
Well, when you came in, the map was loaded for about an hour already. :lol:


You will be surprised, the Physics gun DOES work with players. However that just works, if you are logged in as admin.

So, now it's just an idea anymore! :shock:
This afternoon, you still said something like you want to try it.
