Concerning FarCry Mapping Thread

I'll be forming a mod for FarCry, and before I even start looking for others, I was wondering how maps are made in FC.

I'm a veteran for mapping with Quake3,RTCW,Soldier of Fortune, and Soldier of Fortune 2. And I learned a little bit of UT2003 mapping.

Now, I was wondering if the mappign system/program is similar to UT2K3 or Q3? Thanks for any appreciated answers!

Take a look at this video: Farcry.ubi.com

It shows some stuff to do with the engine, and it gives you an idea of how the map editor works

Thanks man, perhaps my 56K won't load it to slpw :-P

My cable pwns you, thanks for the demo.

*me droolsssssssssss badly

I think that is aweasome and the editor looks so easy too use and he also looked like a pro at the friggin thing, he was moving fast, must of had a trackball.

You can edit Far Cry maps with Photoshop. Just visit the forums.
They use height maps, so it's not too hard.

Well I wouldn't really have a clue what FC mapping is like, but it looks real easy. Can't say the same for indoor mapping though, I wouldn't have a clue.

i bet even i could do it (highly unlikely anywayz )

yay that looks easy /me needs FC mapeditor *drools*

i willing to help map for anyone that gets Far Cry...cuase im gonna get the darn game myself...

EDIT: has -> gets

I'm more interested on the mapping aspects of indoor maps, ..outdoor maps are good, but eh...

Fine, ignore me.

lol welcome to my world frosty

*me pats frosty on head.

It's okay man, I didn't mean to ignore your post I just don't like making terrain because I'm horrible at it ..thats the only thing that comes to mind with height maps if thats what you were referring to.. :-/

But yeah.. um.. I'm ignored to.

*me takes blatant disreguard for the above 3 and continues to ramble aboutnhelping with mapping.

lol j/k

I think the height mapping is for terrians.

Alrighty. Then.. well, I hate making terrain!! You guys should have seen my maps though ((for SoF & SoF2)) ..they'd pwn your b0x3r5!!

Dang.. I hate that "leet" cyber lingo..

ooo k.Me confused now ? But yeah i might be able to help when you make mod

That would pwn. Infact, that would make my day if you joined Although it might be for Stalker at the end.. I prefer BSP engines for some reason.. hrmm..

Ok, my guess for making a mod which i could be god at helping would be a medieval mod, where instead of vheciles are horses and trojan horses , i would play that game anyday

Well I hope you can handle Quake then

lol , why quake?

seems like its giving doom3 a run for its money
