Welcome, testers, to the HDTP final beta!

Sorry about the delay. :/

As a beta, this is a bodged-together "just get it out there" effort rather than a professional installer, so you'll have to do some DIY.

If you haven't installed the original HDTP release, do so now, as it IS a professional installer: it will create folders and files we need.

.......


Ok, assuming you've done that (or already had HDTP installed), take the .u/.utx files included here and drop them into the following folders:

(assuming C:\DeusEx as root folder) 

Deusex.u >> into C:\DeusEx\HDTP\System

HDTPAnim.utx >> into C:\DeusEx\Textures (our survey reports that this may sometimes need to be in C:\Deusex\HDTP\Textures instead...just do whichever the damn fussy game demands) 


All the rest >> into C:\DeusEx\System


You will be overwriting files: this is fine.

And then, barring disasters, you should be good to go. Probably there will be bugs. Possibly many bugs. It IS a beta, after all.

I'll create a thread over at the OTP forums (www.offtopicproductions.com/forum) and shall await bug reports with dread.

Final note: you'll notice an additional menu option under "settings": HDTP settings. This allows you to use (or not use) the new character models, simply because they were so damn contentious. Seriously, don't get me started.

The top (global) allows you to use all of them, none of them, or a custom mix. The rest of the buttons let you decide on that custom mix.

This works at any time, so you can flip between models during play and see which you like. Or at least, _I_ can: again, beta build.


Final final note: as I've said repeatedly, this is a beta build, so it doesn't have a flashy list of team credits or anything.
This will come later, honest. Given the team is now like, three people, I figured it was best to devote efforts to just getting this out for testing.
Still, to all those of you who have contributed: you guys are awesome.

*phew*
