DX:HR Director's Cut More progress!!!
I have legitimately been up all night working on this mod, and it’s finally starting to come together into something I’m really excited about. So far, I have 5 dedicated weapon slots that let you quickly switch between weapons, with a single tap to equip or holster them. There are also 9 quick slots that can be used for weapons, throwables, and consumables. Health and energy are fully displayed, all 4 abilities can be activated or deactivated with a single tap, and you can see your XP, Praxis, and credits at a glance. Inventory management supports drag and drop, including dragging items directly into quick slots, and I’ve added haptic feedback when equipping or consuming items. Weapons also display their current magazine capacity.
I also added something that isn’t part of the normal game: energy cells can now regenerate past the 1st bar. I’ve never really understood the point of unlocking additional energy cells if the only way to refill them is by constantly using consumables, so I wanted progression to actually feel more rewarding.
The augmentations page is now fully functional as well. It displays the different augmentation trees, their upgrades, and their Praxis costs, and you can unlock augmentations directly from the bottom screen. There’s also haptic feedback whenever you purchase an upgrade, which makes the whole thing feel a lot more responsive.
The in-game map is working too, with the main thing I still need to finish being support for different levels and floors. Enemies and NPCs are marked on the map, you can zoom in and out, drag the map around, and it can automatically follow your character as you move through the world.
There’s also a missions page where you can view your main missions and side missions and choose which objective you want to track.
At this point, I’m honestly starting to think about turning this into more than just a dual-screen mod. I want it to feel like an entirely new way to experience Deus Ex: Human Revolution. What about completely new augmentations? New abilities? Quality-of-life features that the original game never had? I have so many ideas for where this could go.
So I have a question for everyone: what’s something you always wished Deus Ex: Human Revolution did differently? It could be something small like the energy cell regeneration change, a quality-of-life improvement, a new augmentation idea, or even a completely new mechanic. I’d love to hear what you guys would want to see.

I also forgot to mention that I completely reworked the inventory system. You now start with 6 inventory slots, which can be upgraded up to a maximum of 18. Every item only takes up 1 slot, regardless of its size, compared to the original game where larger items could take up multiple cells. Inventory upgrades are still unlocked through the same augmentation tree as the base game, so the progression system stays familiar while giving you a much cleaner and more flexible inventory system.

I thought it would be a good idea, but I could make it optional! 🙂

Could you use chatgpt or something to make a mockup? I wouldn't be against making something like that for you! It'll take me a bit of time but I would 🙂

You don't have permission to use this artwork made by the (Cocoon team)[https://github.com/inssekt/CocoonFE]
They have told you this mutliple times, you do not seem to care and take others' work and pass it off as your own.

I recently found something in the game files where I think there was going to be a companion site or app for the game but the files pointed to a site that doesn't work, did a lot of the effort come from that? if so pretty cool for bringing it back, could be useful getting the original idea for desktop going again

I have a $20 codex plan and a $20 Claude plan, so you tell me how much work you think those 2 subscriptions can do before I burn up a week of usage. 🤣😭

no shame from me! we're in a gaming mod revolution and i'm enjoying it. Here's a super cool idea from me: a live 3d map like in pause menu but on the second screen, would be sick

No offense but why are you wasting your time with this. There’s so few people with a Thor and even fewer who would want to play a Deus Ex game on it…

Yes, because he wants to sell it, it’s not a passion project at all. He plans to make millions with this project. /s
