Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition

Separate installations of DX for playing separate mods possible?
Would a separate installation of Deus Ex (One for GMDX, one for TNM) or something be possible so I can play either one of those mods separately without them conflicting with each other?

Kentie's Launcher allows you to enabled and disable mods as you please.

That method does work, old mods like Shifter recommended it for having Shifter enabled with other mods like Redsun and Zodiac. BUT, not with the steam version. Only the original DRM-Free versions and GOG.

Kenties works in the steam version, it replaces the steam version of deusex.exe with a third party version, steam isn't needed to run the game after thats installed.

So to have multiple mods, you need to have them installed in their own directory in the deusex directory, that way kenties launcher can see them.

Getting zodiac working using kenties can be tricky, but it is possible:

You need to install it in its own directory in the deus ex folder... so for example: "c:\program files(x86)\steam\common\deusex\zodiac", then copy zodiacuser.ini and zodiac.ini from "deusex\zodiac\system" to "c:\users\<your user name>\documents\deusex\system"... thats where kenties launcher looks for your config files.

zodiac.ini will be empty, so copy everything from your deusex.ini file into it and change the line:
DefaultGame=DeusEx.DeusExGameInfo

to

DefaultGame=Zodiac.MyGameInfo

After that, goto your deusex\system folder, copy and paste deusex.exe (kenties launcher), and rename it to zodiac.exe

Create a shortcut of zodiac.exe, right click, goto properties and add this after a space to the end of Target: INI=Zodiac.ini USERINI=ZodiacUser.ini
and click OK.

Hopefully, it should work :)


I have gotten tnm working with kenties before, but its been a while.. Its probably going to need the same steps as above though.
