Ahhh... Augmentations. These are one of the building blocks of Deus Ex. You want to know how to place them. First off, open up ExEd. Create your basic level with the ‘PlayerStart’ (Actor -> NavigationPoint -> PlayerStart) and your ‘DeusExLevelInfo’. (Actor -> Info -> DeusExLevelInfo) Now place an ‘AugmentationCanister’ (Actor -> Inventory -> Pickup -> DeusExPickup -> AugmentationCanister) somewhere in your level. Now open its properties by double clicking on it. Expand the tree named ‘AugmentationCanister’ all the way. There should be two fields at the end labeled ‘[0]’ and ‘[1]’. This is where you specify the Augmentations the canister contains. The available choices are:
AugAqualung
AugBallistic
AugCloak
AugCombat
AugDatalink
AugDefense
AugDrone
AugEMP
AugEnviro
AugHealing
AugHeartLung
AugIFF
AugLight
AugMuscle
AugPower
AugRadarTrans
AugShield
AugShield
AugSpeed
AugStealth
AugTarget
AugVision
They do:
AugAqualung - The Aqualung Augmentation. Underwater Breathing.
AugBallistic - Ballistic Protection. Reduces damage from projectiles and bladed objects
AugCloak - Cloaking Aug. Cloaks the player temporarily
AugCombat - Increases Combat Strength
AugDatalink - Allows use of the Datalink. Already comes pre-installed in the player.
AugDefense - Aggressive Defense Aug. Stops missiles and projectiles before they hit.
AugDrone - Creates a spy drone with a one-shot EMP cannon.
AugEMP - Reduces Damage from EMP attacks
AugEnviro - Reduces damage from environments. (i.e. gas, radioactive waste)
AugHealing - The Regeneration Aug. Allows the PC to regenerate.
AugHeartLung - When activated it boosts all Augs. by one level.
AugIFF - Nothing. Nothing shows up at all.
AugLight - Pre-Installed Flashlight.
AugMuscle - Increases the strength of the PC.
AugPower - Reduces the amount of power needed for the Augmentations.
AugRadarTrans - Invisibility to Security systems, robots, and other electronics
AugShield - Shield from Plasma, Energy, and Fire Attacks.
AugSpeed - Increases the speed and falling distance of the player.
AugStealth - Allows the PC to run silently.
AugTarget - Gives Information on the target and slight telescopic vision.
AugVision - Night vision, then sonar imaging.
You can have only one Augmentation in a canister if you like. It won’t cause a problem. Remember that you need a medical bot to install these. And to place upgrade canisters. And a note to ION STORM, you spelled ‘canister’ wrong in ExEd. There is only one ‘n’.
