edit the flags normally set in advanced settings, but try to maintain the difficulty

could also make it improve the balance of the skills, like

balance_adjustments = { swimming = 0.5 }

and then the code for randomizing would be like

balance_adjustment = balance_adjustments[name]
percent = randomize()
new_value = old_value * percent * balance_adjustment

nerf the dragoon's tooth sword? apparently it only does 20 base damage but for some reason it multiplies up to 100 when hitting an enemy? will need to look into this

buff the PS20? limit how many medkits and biocells you can carry at once?

could probably detect if the music is missing before fixing it, just in case they're using fixed or different map files

https://www.reddit.com/r/Deusex/comments/j1sb2j/try_playing_deus_ex_1_without_music_just_try_it/g714063/

also for some reason it's finnicky to get Jock to come pick you up, just make him appear any time after you talk to Dowd

http://www.dxm.be/navigator.php5?lang=en&content=202

from PlayMusicWindow.uc

function PlaySong(int rowID)
{
	local String songName;
	local Int songSection;

//   0 - Ambient 1
//   1 - Dying
//   2 - Ambient 2 (optional)
//   3 - Combat
//   4 - Conversation
//   5 - Outro

	if (btnAmbient.GetToggle())
		songSection = 0;
	else if (btnCombat.GetToggle())
		songSection = 3;
	else if (btnConversation.GetToggle())
		songSection = 4;
	else if (btnOutro.GetToggle())
		songSection = 5;
	else if (btnDying.GetToggle())
		songSection = 1;

	songName = lstSongs.GetField(rowID, 1);
	player.PlayMusic(songName, songSection);
}

So you can pass variables to the compiler through arguments like run_tests=1

or tell the compiler to overwrite default values in defaultproperties like

compiler.py -defaults DXRBase.runtests=1

will probably new #ifdef statements for things like GMDX, Revision, HX...

would use it like

class DXRScopeView injects DeusExScopeView;

this would rename the original DeusExScopeView to DeusExScopeViewBase1 or something like that, and DXRScopeView would be renamed to DeusExScopeView, and the injects DeusExScopeView would be replaced with extends DeusExScopeViewBase1

this could also support multiple new classes injecting into the same class so you would end up with DeusExScopeViewBase2 and stuff

could also tell the compiler to overwrite default values like

compiler.py -defaults DXRBase.runtests=1

I can run tests from the compiler like ucc Core.HelloWorld

class DXRScopeView injects DeusExScopeView;

probably needs to call InitializeAlliances

should I also make it stop cloning neutral characters? civilians? also I think it might be cloning animals

also make sure they only have 1 of each weapon

I think it's copying the initialinventory and also the inventory?

for example, you can't do an injects for NanoKey, because it passes Self to a function that expects a NanoKey, but now it's sending the type NanoKeyBase

this could be fixed if the compiler replaces Self with NanoKey(Self), and that conversion should always work

a config to enable/disable modules? change default flags? forcefully overwrite flags even when loading saved games?

DXRReduceItems could receive arguments/config for which classes of items to reduce and what %

config value for enabling tests

instead of

if( config_version < class'DXRFlags'.static.VersionToInt(1,4,6) ) {

could do it like

if( cmp_version(config_version, 1,4,6) < 0 ) {

or something like that, where it returns -1, 0, or 1

at first I thought it was because SkinColor needed to be marked as travel, but that didn't fix it

Just compare the list of files to the written list,

right now they can only be changed in the configs, but I feel like these would be good for difficulty settings

easy = 2%
normal = 5%
hard = 10%
extreme = 15%?

should they be linked? or should I just get rid of banned_skill_chances and only have banned_skill_level_chances?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/ilgluf/deus_ex_randomizer_v1337_lots_of_fixes_and/g3tek92?context=9

I can run tests from the compiler like ucc Core.HelloWorld

Horde mode? could maybe even let the player place turrets, buy bots? randomly placed explosive/gas barrels/crates? randomly spawn LAMs and gas grenades and stuff for the player to find?

"Stick to the Prod" mode, gotta make use of those fire extinguishers! new module DXRRestrictedWeapons with a config for a whitelist of weapon classes? would have to use a timer until I get the new compiler working

"Stick to the Prod+" could also allow some other weapons like gas grenades, emp grenades? Maybe baton? Crossbow with only tranq darts?

"Don't Give Me The GEP Gun" would ban the GEP gun

"Ninja" mode - only weapons allowed are the sword and throwing knives, probably need to buff throwing knives or make the low tech skill help them more in range and projectile speed

something like Dead Rising or Zombies Ate My Neighbors?

built-in bingo?

Paul Is Missing? like Mario Is Missing?

New Game+ - after the credits can go back to the first level, maybe show a menu for some settings
keep your augs and your skills
keep or lose your skill points?
keep (some of?) your items
lose your nanokeys, notes, goals
new seed or same seed?
increase difficulty?
keep track of how many times you've looped

As seen in the image below, the password for anavarre doesn't appear to have been randomized (Important for the killswitch phrase), nor has klloyd's (Not important at all, AFAIK). This image was taken standing in front of Anna Navarre's computer, so I believe it should have been randomized by this point.

Could maybe do ignore=Balance* so none of the balance changes are applied

min/max starting energy?
easy = 75% min
normal = 50%
hard = 25%
extreme = 0%? max of 30% so no hacking?

easy and normal start with 2 weapons and a melee weapon?
hard starts with 1 weapon and 1 melee weapon?
extreme starts with no ranged weapon?

#87 will help make this more meaningful

could copy item dropping from the Containers class

function Destroyed()
{
	local actor dropped;
	local class<actor> tempClass;
	local int i;
	local Rotator rot;
	local Vector loc;
	local TrashPaper trash;
	local Rat vermin;

	// trace down to see if we are sitting on the ground
	loc = vect(0,0,0);
	loc.Z -= CollisionHeight + 8.0;
	loc += Location;

	// only generate trash if we are on the ground
	if (!FastTrace(loc) && bGenerateTrash)
	{
		// maybe spawn some paper
		for (i=0; i<4; i++)
		{
			if (FRand() < 0.75)
			{
				loc = Location;
				loc.X += (CollisionRadius / 2) - FRand() * CollisionRadius;
				loc.Y += (CollisionRadius / 2) - FRand() * CollisionRadius;
				loc.Z += (CollisionHeight / 2) - FRand() * CollisionHeight;
				trash = Spawn(class'TrashPaper',,, loc);
				if (trash != None)
				{
					trash.SetPhysics(PHYS_Rolling);
					trash.rot = RotRand(True);
					trash.rot.Yaw = 0;
					trash.dir = VRand() * 20 + vect(20,20,0);
					trash.dir.Z = 0;
				}
			}
		}

		// maybe spawn a rat
		if (FRand() < 0.5)
		{
			loc = Location;
			loc.Z -= CollisionHeight;
			vermin = Spawn(class'Rat',,, loc);
			if (vermin != None)
				vermin.bTransient = true;
		}
	}

	if( (Pawn(Base) != None) && (Pawn(Base).CarriedDecoration == self) )
		Pawn(Base).DropDecoration();
	if( (Contents!=None) && !Level.bStartup )
	{
		tempClass = Contents;
		if (Content2!=None && FRand()<0.3) tempClass = Content2;
		if (Content3!=None && FRand()<0.3) tempClass = Content3;

		for (i=0; i<numThings; i++)
		{
			loc = Location+VRand()*CollisionRadius;
			loc.Z = Location.Z;
			rot = rot(0,0,0);
			rot.Yaw = FRand() * 65535;
			dropped = Spawn(tempClass,,, loc, rot);
			if (dropped != None)
			{
				dropped.RemoteRole = ROLE_DumbProxy;
				dropped.SetPhysics(PHYS_Falling);
				dropped.bCollideWorld = true;
				dropped.Velocity = VRand() * 50;
				if ( inventory(dropped) != None )
					inventory(dropped).GotoState('Pickup', 'Dropped');
			}
		}
	}

	Super.Destroyed();
}

also Kill Morgan Everett mode?

They would probably share a base class

Would also want a DXRRemoveStory module or something

Could be developed in pieces, first make it just work in 1 city, then add more cities later

every time Jock's helicopter is in a level, there should be a chance to spawn the evil mechanic guy, and you gotta kill him to defuse the bomb

And if you don't, then next time you see a helicopter it'll have a new randomized name

Maybe passwords normally retrieved from dialog can be put in datacubes in other areas? Large metal crates can be lined up near doors to force the player to get muscles aug or lots of explosives? 1 area would have to be the newb area.

maybe something like a Carmen Sandiego game where you need to learn about the enemy to fill out a warrant? NPCs give you hints about the details for the warrant and where the enemy is currently, you go there and get another hint they left behind and eventually catch up to Bob

can do an injects so that the corpse maintains the scale and thinness of the pawn, and also drop melee weapons or all weapons on the ground

maybe some waves will try to get to the computer in the basement and you gotta stop them? or the vault? or the top of the towers?

ability to buy/hack turrets/bots to help you for 1 or a few waves? will the AIs ever kill a turret?

more maps? Liberty Island might work ok? Area51? Wan Chai Market? NYC Warehouse? NYC Ship? Paris Chateau? none of them sound as good as the Cathedral

just need to put numbers at the end of the classnames in the middle of the chain

maybe a new keyword joins to become the parent class for all listed classes? like this to replace Toilet and Toilet2

class ToiletExtinguish joins Toilet, Toilet2;

function Frob(actor Frobber, Inventory frobWith)
{
	local DeusExPlayer player;

	Super.Frob(Frobber, frobWith);

	player = DeusExPlayer(Frobber);
	if (player != None && player.bOnFire)
	{
		player.ClientMessage("Splish Splash!");
		player.ExtinguishFire();
	}
}

There are a few inter-related issues here that maybe could be fixed as part of this mod.

In my playthrough, I used grenades to climb over the wall and break into the Luminous Path compound. This makes all the Luminous Path guys in the area hostile. While you can kill all the regular people, Gordon Quick is invincible (since he is plot relevant).

Issue 1:
Gordon Quick NEVER returns to being friendly after breaking in, which means you can never talk to him again to continue the mission he gives you (retrieving the Dragons Tooth Sword).

This could maybe be corrected by setting him to be friendly again or unsetting whatever flag makes everyone hostile if you break in (or probably both), any time you re-enter the map

Issue 2:
Hacking the keypad in the basement of the Luminous Path compound doesn't actually cause the painting to move aside. Do keypads really trigger differently if interacted with after being hacked than they do after entering a correct code? Luckily, you can blow up the door to get through...

Issue 3:
Everyone in Tracer Tong's area is still hostile to you if you break in via the second issue, and Tracer Tong, Alex Jacobson, etc (key characters) don't seem to spawn. Presumably they are hidden by some sort of flag that only gets set once you've satisfied Gordon Quick (or hidden if you broke into the compound?) I think if it's possible to break into the compound and blow up the door to the basement, it should probably be possible to talk to Tracer Tong and friends for your efforts.

or maybe this could be part of DXRFixup, a config array

struct AddItem {
string type;
string map_name;
vect pos;
rot rotation;
};

var config AddItem add_items[50];

example would be add a medbot to the sealab

I think it would be cool to provide entrance randomizer functionality so that the maps aren't connected in the normal ways. I think if we want to maintain the regular plot and progression, we would need to limit the entrance randomization to just within a given mission.

This would require some hardcoding, as we would need to figure out all the map transition locations, and understand what kind of bidirectionality exists between them (Entering Versalife through the canal road entrance is one way, for example).

these will just need to be hardcoded :(

if a datacube contains the code 1234, and we find the keypad with the code 1234, should we look at what door it's linked to in order to safely position the datacube?

this is a big job since it would need a lot of testing

maybe just add datacubes for the other keypads, or just make the doors destructible

codes: 6786, 3901, 4322

the 2 open ones are 1234

the one that already has a datacube is 0169

the doors have the tags chamber1 through chamber6

should have a DXRMenu parent class, need a cleaner way to create a list of enum values and tie them to the output values, probably a function call like AddEnumOption(btnRandoDoors, "Key-Only Doors Destructible or Pickable", keyonlydoors+doormutuallyexclusive);

maybe even use the same code for init and ProcessAction? by using an out variable to write to the flag variable, and returning a bool so I can do an if statement on it so I can set more than 1 output variable

could even use the same code for reset to defaults

function bool EnumOption(EnumBtn btn, string label, int value, optional out int output) {
    if( processing_action ) {
        if( label == selected_label(btn) ) {
            output = value;
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
    AddEnumOption(btn, label, value);
    return false;
}

and then your combo init/process code would be like

EnumOption(btnAutosave, "Every Entry", 2, flags.autosave);
EnumOption(btnAutosave, "First Entry", 1, flags.autosave);

if( EnumOption(btnRandoDoors, "Key-Only Doors Destructible or Pickable", keyonlydoors+doormutuallyexclusive, flags.doorsmode) ) {
    flags.doorsdestructible = 50;
    flags.doorspickable = 50;
}

this would also be a good time to combine/remove some options, and maybe add new ones

maybe I could even make it live-update the menu when changing the game mode, since it's already using the same code for the init/ProcessAction steps

also could do some more config stuff? like enums to ints mappings in configs

Sometimes skills seem to stop having their costs randomized and go back to the defaults. It looks like this might be happening when you leave and then come back to a map (UNATCO HQ seemed to be doing it, and going between the hanger and the 747 seemed to be doing it too)

this could greatly improve the chateau

duclare_chateau_front02, duclare_chateau_front01, or just make the key spawn anywhere with a Z greater than -125

maybe also ignore axis? would be nice for the 747 lebedevdoor to ignore the Z axis so the key can be in different places, or just put it anywhere with an X axis greater than 166

also the cath_maindoors keys always spawn in the same places

the cathedralgatekey key comes from a weird spot, past the gate, should probably just allow it to spawn anywhere with an X axis greater than -4857

I think I can just turn off smart keys for the cathedral level? none of them are required

fix 14_OCEANLAB_LAB key positioning

And add security computers for them, and datacubes for those computers? Might also need to add alarms

testing webhook

could have a config-driven list of actors like

struct Goals {
    string map;
    string name;//or name tag;?
    float radius;//grab all other actors in this radius too, including hidden actors (maybe excluding PathNodes and Lights)
};

example: 01_NYC_UNATCOIsland, TerroristCommander0, 200

or: 02_NYC_BatteryPark, BarrelAmbrosia0, 100 (actually I think the goal node can't be moved?)

also a list of KeyLocations where the goals can be moved to

struct KeyLocations {
    string map;
    vector loc;
    //optional string name for logging purposes?
}

could also reuse the KeyLocations list for changing the player starting location on applicable maps

Where else would this be good? Maybe cathedral I could move Gunther and the computer

Needs to play well with #86

I already internally use integer percents for doorspickable and doorsdestructible

from DXRMenuSetupRando:

        if( doors == "Unchanged" ) {
            dxr.flags.doorsdestructible = 0;
            dxr.flags.doorspickable = 0;
        }
        else if( doors == "Destructible" ) {
            dxr.flags.doorsdestructible = 100;
            dxr.flags.doorspickable = 0;
        }
        else if( doors == "Pickable" ) {
            dxr.flags.doorspickable = 100;
            dxr.flags.doorsdestructible = 0;
        }
        else if( doors == "Either" ) {
            dxr.flags.doorsdestructible = 50;
            dxr.flags.doorspickable = 50;
        }
        else if( doors == "Both" ) {
            dxr.flags.doorsdestructible = 100;
            dxr.flags.doorspickable = 100;
        }

I might also do a double-width enum button, so it doesn't have a label, that way the button would cycle through options like
"Most Undefeatable Doors Pickable"
"All Undefeatable Doors Destructible"
"All Doors Destructible"
"All Key-Only Doors Both" (can I fit Pickable+Destructible instead of just saying Both?)
"Some Doors Either"

right now we just ignore hidden actors for everything

can we make it so when you successfully login to that computer it adds a note so you can see what the passcode is randomized to?

hopefully when I make the new compiler, we can just make a new class to inject DeusExText.DeusExTextParser

<P>We've had several attempts to hack into the main Daedalus system, mostly amateur tunneling stunts that don't require a prejudicial response; however, in keeping with standard protocols, all Level 1 lock system codes have been changed.  The new code is 2167.  This will work within the complex, but isn't valid for exterior access (those systems are on a separate grid, as is the armory).  Pass this code on to those with the proper clearances.

might need to carry over the list of old_passwords and new_passwords as the player travels, so things from other maps can apply to emails like this, it's already a circular array so it'll just overwrite the oldest entries

in NYC2, if you read the evidence of UNATCO's corruption, but then instead of sending the signal you go talk to Paul again
it's leftover code from when they planned on letting you stay with UNATCO instead of joining the NSF

you tell Paul you're gonna stick with UNATCO and Paul is like well ok, but then you can't leave NYC

an easy fix with AnyEntry I think

also if you do the nsfhq before talking to paul, even if you send the signal

I found these flag names:
TalkedToPaulAfterMessage_Played
NSFSignalSent

the dialog TalkedToPaulAfterMessage requires the flag PaulInjured_Played, so if I just set that flag to true on AnyEntry if NSFSignalSent is set, then it should fix it?

the dialog M04PlayerLikesUNATCO requires M04MeetGateGuard_Played and legend says it needs NSFSignalSent but I assume it requires that to be false

this seems to be the problem code:

		if (!flags.GetBool('M04RaidTeleportDone') &&
			flags.GetBool('ApartmentEntered'))
		{
			if (flags.GetBool('NSFSignalSent'))
			{
				foreach AllActors(class'ScriptedPawn', pawn)
				{
					if (pawn.IsA('UNATCOTroop') || pawn.IsA('MIB'))
						pawn.EnterWorld();
					else if (pawn.IsA('SandraRenton') || pawn.IsA('GilbertRenton') || pawn.IsA('HarleyFilben'))
						pawn.LeaveWorld();
				}

				foreach AllActors(class'PaulDenton', Paul)
				{
					Player.StartConversationByName('TalkedToPaulAfterMessage', Paul, False, False);
					break;
				}

				flags.SetBool('M04RaidTeleportDone', True,, 5);
			}
		}

this is what sends you to the next mission

	// do this for every map in this mission
	// if the player is "killed" after a certain flag, he is sent to mission 5
	if (!flags.GetBool('MS_PlayerCaptured'))
	{
		if (flags.GetBool('TalkedToPaulAfterMessage_Played'))
		{
			if (Player.IsInState('Dying'))
			{
				flags.SetBool('MS_PlayerCaptured', True,, 5);
				Player.GoalCompleted('EscapeToBatteryPark');
				Level.Game.SendPlayer(Player, "05_NYC_UNATCOMJ12Lab");
			}
		}
	}
