If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:
Here's the trailer for our Halloween modes!
Here's the trailer for WaltonWare mode. WaltonWare mode is focused on quick wins by completing a single bingo line, and increasing difficulty after every win. The bingo goals are all scaled to their minimum settings and you start in a random area. All bingo goals will be completable within just a few maps!
See the full README here. Also check out our Discord and Mods4Ever.com
New Game Modes
- Mr. Page's Mean Bingo Machine: A new mode where you play through the whole game, but must complete a set number of bingo lines before being allowed to progress to the next mission. Once you get to the next mission, you are given a new bingo board!
- Special handling for Anna and Walt in Mean Bingo Machine
- Since they can be difficult to avoid killing, they needed special care to reduce impossible bingo goals on future mission bingo boards
- 50% chance for Anna to be deleted from Mission 4, and Walt from Mission 14, so the bingo goals to kill them on a future board would always be possible
- The other 50% chance leaves them but bans the goal from appearing on the future bingo boards
- Special handling for Anna and Walt in Mean Bingo Machine
- One Item Mode: Our new dumbest game mode! All items in a map will be replaced with a single type of item (eg. all flares, all biocells, or all beers)
Major Changes
- Give the security computer in Mission 5 MJ12 Lab with Paul's camera the special computer skin, since it reveals Paul's randomized location
- Aug Canisters now show the aug location in the description and also show the stats and description of the augs contained within
- Augs can now receive randomized slots (so speed can be an eye aug)
- On NG+, augs are first removed based on newly assigned slots, then more get removed only if you didn't lose enough already
- Setting is a % chance for each aug to be assigned a new random slot (100% means all augs will have a randomly assigned slot, 50% means half will retain their original slot)
- Deus Ex: Revision support is massively improved as a whole (see below)
- Fixed issue with bingo goal scaling when changing Bingo Duration in the Advanced Settings
- Many fixes for bingo goals and mid-mission starts

- Fixed Datacubes not being shuffled in Revision
- Datacubes now have defined rules in Revision (should ensure datacubes are shuffled into "safe" locations before the location they're needed)
- Area 51 Bunker vent entrance is now harder, like in Vanilla Randomizer:
- The door on the top of the vent is locked
- The password on the security computer has been changed (and a datacube added with the password)
- The elevator starts at the bottom

- We've seen some confusion with Limited Fixed Saves. When you have a Memory Containment Unit in your inventory (or 2 for the new Extreme version) you only need to have the box highlight on the computer and then you can use the normal Save Game menu or Quicksave button. The only freebie autosave you get is at the very start of the game. Make sure to save before going to Battery Park! Sometimes you might want to backtrack to save. Remember that if you die not all is lost, because you now have a better plan!
Changes
- Fixed Mr. H from counting in the M04 raid enemy counter
- Fixed zombie Howards preventing Silo from completing
- Disable infolink about MJ12 if Paris is Chill
- Added Paris elevator call button at the top
- Some fixes for endgame cutscenes and NG+
- EDIT: sneaky bug fix for Installer detecting if the game is running

- Buffed accuracy for pistols
- Laser sight mods can now be applied to crossbows and plasma rifles

- Synthetic Heart now allows boosting some augs past max level (Speed Enhancement aug level 4 is 170%, level 5 is 180%)

- The Untrained Environmental skill's passive is slightly less punishing for the player now
- Zero Rando enviro passive was: -37%, -12%, 12%, 37%
- Zero Rando enviro passive now: -28%, -6%, 14%, 37%

- Made some small fixes and tweaks for the Tong ending
- Fixed some enemy in-fighting on the Page map
- Fixed too many enemies incorrectly spawning at UC 3 in Area 51 Sector 4

If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:
Here's a trailer for WaltonWare mode. WaltonWare mode is focused on quick wins by completing a single bingo line, and increasing difficulty after every win. The bingo goals are all scaled to their minimum settings and you start in a random area. All bingo goals will be completable within just a few maps!
See the full README here. Also check out our Discord and Mods4Ever.com
Major Changes
- You can now pet the dog! And other animals too. With bingo goals.
- Loot Refusal for looting carcasses.
- Check your defaults in the Rando -> Gameplay menu.
- On your inventory screen you have buttons to mark items as trash or not trash. These are only remembered for the current run (since the stats change every run/seed). Marking an item as trash will also drop it.
- Trash items will fall from carcasses when you loot them instead of going into your inventory, but you can still pick them up after.
- Datacubes stop glowing once you've read them, which helps finding datacubes that are close together.
- Reworked the Synthetic Heart augmentation. It no longer uses energy on its own, it just multiplies the energy cost of the boosted augs.
- Reworked the Spy Drone augmentation. Energy cost is reduced greatly, but detonating the Spy Drone now costs 10 energy. (You can disable the aug for free.)
- Fixed the jail mission reducing your grenades and ammo.
- Speedrun mode now defaults to realtime menus. Fixed the crash when changing levels with windows open. Also autorun is a little smarter now. By the way, we now have an official speedrun leaderboard on https://www.speedrun.com/dxrando
- Fixed a "missing Animal.ModifyDamage" crash when playing with GMDX v10. (Issue #767)
