- Behind The Curtains Tutorial -


1)  Install DeusEx, DeusEx SDK and extract the DeusEx Source.  Instructions on how to extract the DeusEx Source can be found at the bottom of the file.

2)  Go to the c:\deusex\deusex\classes sub-directory.  I am not going to make a new directory as i'm not making a new object class.  Find and open the good old MenuMain.uc file.

3) If you followed my second, menu tutorial, you'll have a head start in doing this mod.  Head down to the buttondefaults section and replace the buttondefaults(6) line with:

buttonDefaults(6)=
(Text="Custom",Y=229,Action=MA_MenuScreen,Invoke=Class'DeusEx.BehindTheCurtain')

4)  You'll see that i've just called to load the MA_MenuScreen script with the BehindTheCurtain.uc script on-top.  And it works a dream!  This should take you five minutes top!  Make sure to check out the quotes section :)

Instructions To Extract The DeusEx Source: 
First, backup your c:\deusex\system directory in case you mess things up later :)

1) Download and install the Deus Ex SDK.

2) Start unrealed.exe found in the c:\deusex\system.exe directory.

3) Top right of the editor, there is a drop down menu.  Near the black, bold "Browse".  In the drop down box select "Classes".  At the bottom right corner of the screen click on "Export All" and when the message box appears, click "yes".  This extracts nearly all of the UnrealScript source files for Deus Ex into your c:\deusex\ directories.

4) If you look in your c:\deusex directory, the observant of you will notice that there are a hell of a lot more sub directories!  This is where the UnrealScript source files extract to. DO NOT move these :)  That would mess _everything_ up!
