The Greatest Puzzles of All Time by Matthew J. Costello (1988) in c/stauf_mansion@lemmy.mods4ever.com
[–] Die4Ever@lemmy.mods4ever.com 3 points 10 months ago (3 children)

That's awesome. Are there any T7G/T11H/Clandestiny puzzles in there that I missed? Maybe even a The 13th Doll puzzle might be in there.

The Greatest Puzzles of All Time by Matthew J. Costello (1988) (m.media-amazon.com)
 

Written by Matthew Costello years before he was hired for The 7th Guest. I don't actually own this book, but Darkshoxx said he found Coins, Cards, Canals on Mars/Library Telescope, Maze Grate Sliding puzzle from before the maze, and the bathroom spiders from The 11th Hour.

Darkshoxx's thumb

As much as I like puzzles, I like stories more. And that is what this book is all about - the story of puzzles and the tales of the puzzlers who created them.

"But have no fear. There are puzzles aplenty in this boo, some of the greatest ever designed. There are classics from unknown sources as well as puzzles that are brand new. There are important firsts, such as the first crossword puzzle and mechanical puzzles from the turn of the century. There are puzzles that dangled the lure of easy money before a staving nation's eyes and puzzles whose solutions saved thousands of lives and helped win a war.

"And there's murder, mystery, and magic. You'll be tricked, and then given the chance to figure out how it was done. Puzzling crimes will be presented for you to test your sleuthing ability.

"I've also interviewed important people in the world of puzzles - people such as Martin Gardner, the Dean of American Puzzlers - and found out how they came to puzzle design (and just what their favorite puzzles are).

"All this, and, as they say, much more. It's a book to read. And it's a book to play with. For these are The Greatest Puzzles of All Time."

v3.0 Trailer

Here are trailers for our Halloween modes, WaltonWare, and Vanilla Fixer/Zero Rando:

Halloween Trailer WaltonWare Trailer Zero Rando Trailer

See the full README here. Also check out our Discord and Mods4Ever.com

Major Changes

  • Fixed Area 51 Sectors 2 and 3 goals rando locations not working
  • The Ballistic Protection aug now uses slightly less energy (when Augs Balance Changes are enabled), and has a shorter auto linger time (when Semi-Automatic Augs are enabled)
  • On WaltonWare Gas Station, Ocean Lab, and Silo starts you can backtrack to Carla in Vandenberg (at the vanilla start, on the roof of the Command Center) to get the Vandenberg map

Revision

Click to expand Revision Changes

  • Added support for autorun in Revision. At the moment, it is not configurable through the in-game keybinds and must be manually configured.
    • In the RevisionUser.ini file, go to the [Extension.InputExt] section and find the key you want to bind to enable autorun. Change it so that it maps to ToggleAutorun, eg. to make C enable autorun: C=ToggleAutorun
  • Doors into the LaGuardia hangar (on both sides) are no longer potentially destroyable
  • The keypad on the helipad-side door to the LaGuardia hangar can no longer be hacked

Minor Changes

Click to expand Minor Changes

  • Added book color and open/closed information to bingo goals help texts
  • Fixed a quick aug menu exploit to get infinite upgrades while paused
  • Swapped NPCs get their DesiredRotation set when swapped, along with their regular Rotation. This fixes enemies sometimes facing the wrong direction, like the Terrorists in the Mission 2 Hotel, or the guards near the elevator in the LaGuardia Helibase
  • Semicolons are no longer allowed in save names in vanilla
    • If you had a save file with a semicolon in the name, it should now be possible to load the save properly
  • DXVK updated to v2.7.1
  • The installer is now smarter about installing extra dependencies
  • The installers for Vanilla Fixer and Zero Rando have been simplified. They now also provide the option to enable balance changes (Zero Rando Plus)
  • Fixed an issue with loading saves that have high max health or energy
  • The Max Rando warning is always shown, instead of being based on the number of times you've beaten the game (which only showed you the explanation if you clicked it on your first playthrough)
  • Fixed an issue where auto augs could still be effective when your energy was a rounding error away from 0

Deus Ex Randomizer v3.6 Time to Get Serious in c/deus_ex_randomizer@lemmy.mods4ever.com

  • Memory Containment Units will be ignored for the purposes of the Unaugmented Prison Pocket setting, allowing you to keep another item. Memory Containment Units will always be kept.
  • Vandenberg Cmd move "near pipes" start to a higher level, so the start locations are more equal
  • Make sure the guard inside the front door of Dockyards is friendly if you come in some way other than the front door (if you helped Vinny)
  • Speedrun splits view changes:
    • Added %combatdifficulty to HUDSpeedrunSplits

Revision

  • Updated mission masks for some bingo goals in Revision to account for what exists in the Revision Maps
  • Added CheatsOn, CheatsOff, and AllPasswords cheats to the Revision player class

Deus Ex Randomizer annual recap (since June 2024) (lemmy.mods4ever.com)
 

If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, here's the trailer from v3.0 which gives an overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3mTcG6xeq4&list=PLZIQTa_kwZhBksj7UzcahPiRaHk87fWch&index=1

Download here: https://mods4ever.com/

It's been about 1 year since v3.0 let you pet the dogs and other animals. Here are some of the biggest things we've added since then.

  • Many new game modes:
    • Halloween mode, WaltonWare Halloween, and other varieties - adds zombies, limited saves, and Mr. H who is a big invincible guy that roams the map and tries to smack you.
    • Mr. Page's Mean Bingo Machine - A new mode where you play through the whole game, but must complete a bingo line before being allowed to progress to the next mission. Once you get to the next mission, you are given a new bingo board!
    • Zero Rando Plus - like "Zero Rando" (no randomization, very vanilla) but Plus more quality of life additions and balance tweaks.
    • Speedrun Training mode - shows where possible goal locations are without spoiling them.
    • We split off the old "Normal Randomizer" mode into "Full Randomizer", with the new "Normal Randomizer" being a more welcoming game mode to learn the Randomizer.
    • Strong Augs mode - increases the strength of augmentations.
    • 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)
  • Many new loadouts and augmentations:
    • The default "All Items Allowed" loadout now starts with the new inferior "Running Enhancement" instead of the old "Speed Enhancement". Choose the "Speed Enhancement" loadout if you want to start with that like before.
    • The Three Leg Augs loadout - Allows Running Enhancement, Jump Enhancement, and Run Silent. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default.
    • My Vision Is Augmented loadout - Allows Vision Enhancement, Short-Range Vision Enhancement, InfraVision, and Motion Sensor. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default.
    • Random Starting Aug (instead of Running Enhancement)
    • And more!
  • Lots of balance changes
    • Allowing even more variety of play styles, especially with augmentations.
    • Balance changes are also now toggleable in the options. Disabled by default for Zero Rando, but most are enabled by default for Zero Rando Plus.
  • More goals rando, especially for Gordon Quick, and Area 51.
  • New augmentation slot randomization feature (so speed can be an eye aug)
  • Multiple, rotating quicksave slots
  • New menu to change current in-game settings
  • Many new bingo goals and improvements to our bingo game modes!
  • Deus Ex: Revision support is massively improved as a whole

Use vanilla/GOTY (optionally with Lay D Denton) to get all of the Randomizer's features, best QoL improvements, and the most polished experience. Our installer has an option to install Lay D Denton for you automatically. We also support Revision, GMDX, HX, and Vanilla? Madder.

If you're experiencing objects warping and drawing on top of each other incorrectly when using the D3D10 renderer, you need to install the 2010 x86 Visual C++ Redistributable package, which you can get from Microsoft here. Alternatively, you can use the D3D9 or OpenGL renderer (and check the Rando ➜ Visuals menu for Brightness Boost).

NOTICES:

If you want to start with Speed Enhancement augmentation (improves running speed and jumping abilities) like previous versions, then select the loadout called "Speed Enhancement". Otherwise you will start with a new augmentation called "Running Enhancement" which only improves your running speed, with a chance to find "Speed Enhancement" in an aug can.

Also we want to do more speedrun races and content. If you can beat the game in less than 3 hours, or if you can do more than 4 loops of WaltonWare in 1 hour (use the new timer for this), then we need you! Come join our Discord or contact us anywhere else. Check out our new speedrun guide!

There is a savegame compatibility issue if you're in the middle of M06, M08, or M10, the safest time to update to v3.5 is when Jock is ready to take you to the next area.

New ways to play Deus Ex - whether it's your first time or your hundredth! (lemmy.mods4ever.com)
 

We just released Deus Ex Randomizer v3.4.1, including recent big updates for the Zero Rando modes (no randomization modes). One of the biggest updates is putting all of our balance changes behind toggles - off by default in Zero Rando mode, but enabled in Zero Rando Plus by default.

  • Vanilla Fixer: No gameplay changes, just compatibility fixes. Our installer ensures a smooth, battle-tested setup for modern systems with just a few clicks, inherited from Deus Ex Randomizer. Automatically installs Kentie's Launcher, D3D10 and other renderers, DXVK, Engine.dll fix for high framerates, and config tweaks.
  • Zero Rando: The pure Deus Ex experience - with no randomization, just essential bug fixes and optional QoL improvements from DXRando.
  • Zero Rando Plus: Same as Zero Rando, but with balance changes enabled (which you can still customize in the Rando ➜ Gameplay menu).

This is a fresh update, so if you spot anything that shouldn’t be enabled in Zero Rando, let us know! We're still constantly updating all of these game modes and the Randomizer.
