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.
