that's very nice, just one thing if you run out of space you convert to just:

game title, fix type, link to actual post instead of adding the whole fix in the op :)
 
Prophet,for bg 1 is the easytutu mod the one that adds bg 2 graphics to it?

yes and no :D

one method is just the wide screen fix if you want the close as vanilla experience VS running it on the tutu mod
which uses the bg 2 engine and includes some extra things :)

What would you recommend?

my replay i went for vanilla because i don't like things like
unlimited stacking of arrows. still the tutu includes some nice mods
that "ease" gamplay. all depends on what you want.

you and read up on what tutu fixes, also i suppose you could just not
tick those and take advantage of the bg engine through tutu. make sure of
it not exactly sure if you could tick/untick, but i would think so :)
 
Would not mind the bg2 engine with it. But as for the unlimited arrows stacking:eek: but then agian you can have a hundred arrows stacked with the vanilla temple of elemental evil.
 
So this is to make Arcanum Of Steamworks and Magick to work with high res

1. Patch the game to 1.0.7.4 (Official Patch)(I have no clue if gog version is updated to this,I am sure it is.)
2.Patch the game with the Unofficial Arcanum Patch v091225
3. Download "High Quality Townmaps" and install it. here
4. Download Arcanum High Resolution Patch 1.1a and run highres.bat.
5. Download ArcanumXNoNoise.dat here then put it in the root folder of your game. Ex: C:\games\Arcanum


Ok can find the patches and highres mod here: here
 
going to try this one out -

DeusEx ~ Ultra High Quality Mod
http://www.helderpinto.com/blog/personal/deusex-ultra-high-quality-mod-v01.html


Increase the quality of DeusEx with this Ultra High Quality config.
I am not the author of HDTP or ENBSeries, I simply placed and tweaked those two together to achieve optimal graphical quality.
I didn’t had the opportunity to fully test this, so if you spot any flaws on my installation guide, or anything really, please let me know by sending me a e-mail.

- Better shadows and render contrast
- Bloom
- Bump Mapping
- Ambient Occlusion
- Specularity
- Very high quality textures
- Lightning improved

Installing
1. First of all, make sure you install HDTP-Release1 into DeusEx folder. (After install, it should create a HDTP shortcut on your desktop, if not, go to the game’s system folder and make one, you’ll be using HDTP.exe from now on)
2. After that, copy all the contents of the folder “DeusEx Ultra High Quality Mod Files”, and paste it inside the folder “System” on the game’s folder. (Replacing all the existing files)
You will have to edit the file HDTP.ini, search for the line that says “CdPath=J:”, change the letter “J” for your CD/DVD drive where DeusEx CD is placed.
3. Run HDTP.exe, the game should start, now go to Settings -> Display -> Rendering device, click “Show all devices” on the “DeusEx Video configuration” window, and select “Direct3D9 Support”.
4. Now, go back to settings, and select your favorite graphics resolution, and make sure to select 32bit on “Texture Color Depth”.
5. Select new game, and try it out. Pressing Shift + F12, disables and enables screen effects.

Change Log & Bug Fixes

Version 0.1 ~ release 07-10-2008
First official release

Notes:

- VERY IMPORTANT: Do not forget to edit the file HDTP.ini, search for the line that says “CdPath=J:”, change the letter “J” for you’r CD/DVD drive where DeusEx CD is placed.

- You wont be able to use your old save files after installing HDTP.
- Press Shift + F12, to disable and enable screen effects. This is useful to be able to better see the menu, due to exaggerated bloom.
- To tweak the bump mapping, press Shift + Enter, you should see 6 options on the top of the screen, press a number from 1 to 6, and use PageUp and PageDown to tweak.
- To tweak the D3d9 settings, press T, delete the “say” text, and type “preferences”. Go to “Rendering” -> “Direct3D9 support”, and tweak away

I have tried the Ultra High texture Mod on Deus Ex a while ago, and it looks good; especially for a classic game on todays technology.
