There are some great Mods here for Far Cry 2 !

Thanks Modders !

Is there a stand alone Mod that opens up the weapons slots and will work with other Mods ?
That is what I have been trying to find.

Hi,

Thanks for the Mod!
Do you have just the file to open up the weapons slot ?
Would that be compatible with any other mod ?

Looks like a really cool Mod !
Thanks for making it !

I keep waiting for someone here to unlock the weapons slots.
Give complete freedom to the player to choose any 3 weapons they want to carry, not locked into certain weapons slots only carry this certain weapon.
Mixing things up like that keeps it fun and interesting.

Hi,

I have enjoyed all your Jackel Mods very much !
Thank you for making them.

Can I make a suggestion in the weapons slots ?
Can you please give complete freedom to the weapon slots !
Let the player decide which 3 weapons they want to carry and not be forced into certain catagories for each slot. Or at least make it an add on option.

Thanks again for your great mods,

Thank you

I figured it out just before you replied.
I went from your final version to
your latest beta 126.9.
Prior to installation I deleted the 2 files as per instructions.

A few things while playing the reckoning map:
1. I can't get the flashlight to work
2. The water from above looks crystal clear but once your in the water it is like looking thru milk very hard to see.
3. When being shot/damaged by strogg the screen turns almost completely red seeing the enemy inflicting damage is very difficult

Great Mod !
Thanks for your hard work breathing life into an old game making it look new again!

Question - how do you get the mission packs to work through your mod ?

Continued:

The other mistakes Jakel Mod makes is equipping to many AI with grenade launchers & RPG's as well as decreasing the "Range value" for many weapons which didn't make sense or turn out well.

The Coolest thing about the Jackel Mod is weapon slot modding. However the way he set up primary, secondary, & special weapons list is as bad as the original game which leaves little variety between weapon load outs.
Jackel Mod has no grenade launcher in the secondary slot which is a mistake.

The real challenge to set up is weapon load out variety.
If it were me, I would move all shotguns & MP5 suppressed to the Secondary slot. Move the MGL-140 grenade launcher to the Special Weapons slot while leaving the M-79 grenade launcher in the Secondary slot.
Just by doing these simple moves increases weapon loadouts quite a bit.
Another cool thing Jakel Mod has is double slot for machete/flare gun. Press the control press same control twice=flare gun.

I like most of the original content of the game including malaria. The thing I thought was stupid was the amount of ammo was ridiculously low. Only 3 darts for the dart gun on Infamous level? Most mods increase ammo levels as well. For example 6 30rd mags for a assault rifle is 180rds that should be standard.

Anyways it will be interesting watching how you build this new Far Cry 2 Mod ! Good Luck!

Hey StoatOats,

You have a opportunity to make a really cool Far Cry 2 Mod.
I have played all 3 major Far Cry 2 mods: Rewards, Dylan's, & Jakel.

Each of these Mods has their good points and I would read the comments and take the best of all 3 and add any new ideas that you have as well.

The rewards Mod has the best overall gun values IMO. Not too powerful, reduced recoil (which is always overdone), increased accuracy & reduced price.

Dylan's mod & Jakel mod did something similar but the recoil is over done & some think the weapons are too powerful. Jackel Mod made up for this equipping the AI with the same damage level weapons which is fine but he has the AI shooting like lasers--they don't miss.

I have played the Rewards Mod & Dylans Realism mod.
Liked them both very much.

After playing your Mod, I have to agree with many here just too many RPGs/Grenade launchers.

Forces engagements further out. The AI in Far Cry 2 wall hack and know where you are after firing your weapon even if there are bushes, rocks, whatever blocking their view. They are shooting even before you come around the corner sometimes. So giving so many AI grenade weapons kinda ruins close in fighting CQB. The stealth system aint the best in this game. Even with a headshot the AI make noise sometimes alerting the other AI of your presence.

I really like some of the features of your mod especially the modded weapon slots & full auto AR16. Tweak a few things and you could have a totally Awesome Mod Dude !

I hope that when you update this mod you allow the player to
take any 3 weapons regardless of slots....like Far Cry 3. Improve the range & zoom of some of the weapons.

I hope you also toughen up the vehicles including the ATV as I like to jump it off the top of dunes & have the AI chase me till they crash off a razor top ................ahhh dune riding !!! The ATV starts smoking way too easy.

It would be great If you, Dylan, & Lazy Sod collaborated together & combined your mods.

Thanks Dylan,

I have really enjoyed playing your mod !
I hope that when you update this mod you add Modded Weapon Slots or allow the player to
take any 3 weapons regardless of slots....like Far Cry 3.

Hey Jakel,

Any chance you can move the M79. Shotguns, & MP5 to Secondary?

That would give more freedom & flexibility in weapons load outs.

Thanks

Work with Steam Version?

Hey Man you made a really great Mod here !

It would be nice to update it with modded weapon slots, unlock All weapons from start.

If possible allow the player to choose any 3 weapons to carry (eliminate the 3 categorys or modify them)

Thanks !

This looks like a really interesting mod.

Please compare the differences to your mod vs. Jakel mod.

Is there any way to free up all the weapons from Primary, Secondary, & Special system so you can carry any 3 weapons plus machete you want to ?

Suggestion- add all weapons to each category - Primary, Secondary, & Special so the player decides which 3 weapons he wants to carry like Far Cry 3.
Is this possible?

If this isn't possible, any chance moving the suppressed MP5 to secondary?

Allways wanted to be able to carry the AS50, SVD, 1903, with the suppressed MP5.

Thanks for making this Mod !!!

Had the same problem on the official torrent link,& the link from the Aussie guy. I know how to download as I have used many mods on this site for several games. How to compile & install the game was not very clear.
The key was what another guy posted "Dont forget to only unpack part 1. When run it will self unpack the rest. Then install patch 1.

Ok...Came across this and it worked.

"Dont forget to only unpack part 1. When run it will self unpack the rest. Then install patch 1."

I have never seen in the install directions to only unpack part 1. Crappy directions on how to install this game on devs part.

This should be a sticky.

Hey Andre,
Came across this and it worked.

"Dont forget to only unpack part 1. When run it will self unpack the rest. Then install patch 1."

Cannot Launch the game "Error cannot find "fs.gameltx" check your folder.
What the hell does this mean?

I have downloaded all 4 parts and updated to 1.30003 patch.

I am using the Misery Mod with Call of Pripyat without any problems.
What is going with this mod?

Ok a little help please.....

I have downloaded Lost Alpha game parts 1-4 --probably 5 times now. No problem uncompressing part 1 but parts 2-4 all have errors and broken files. Why?

So then I downloaded Lost Alpha thru the official torrent. Upon uncompressing part 1 was fine but again parts 2-4 had errors & broken files. What gives? I used 7zip.

What do I need to do to get this game running?

Help
Cannot launch the game..

On game launch----Cannot open file "{fsgame.ltx" check your working folder.

I checked the game folder found game.ltx, but no fsgame.ltx.
All 4 parts are installed.
Any Ideas how to fix this?

Fantastic Guys!!
Thanks for all your hard work.

Will there be any new weapons & new high rez Weapon skins ?
Will there be new updated scopes & and high rez armor skins?

Thanks again guys !!!

First of all Thank you for all your hard work. I have played your Mod on Clear Skyes and now S.o.C. You made both games look much better and worked the bugs out. What was needed for SoC was an integrated weapons mod that updated gun sights, camo skins, & attachment options. One of the weakest points for me was the crappy night vision on the 2 most expensive
armors in your mod. The Heavy Military suit $160,000 & Exoskeleton suit $200,000 both have terrible night vision - blurry and it fades in and out in a washed out green tone. Why? Both the SEVA & Scientific suit have better night vision. With nights so dark in your mod night vision is a must and you guys need to improve this area.

Pistol sights work fine--sorry my bad

Iron Sights need fixing.
It's a bummer you cant aim down the sights with pistols.

Where is the link to download this?

Sounds great!

NATO weapons are poorly modeled.
All have over the top recoil & bad bullet spread.
The LR300 at max accuracy settings & lowest recoil shoots like a popcorn machine ....a bullet here and a bullet there.

I am glad my real HK does not shoot like this or I never would of bought it.

Great Mod!
Playing on Infamous with extra rounds is a kick.
Looking forward to 1.4, hopefully you can carry any 3 weapons you want to.

Something strange/funny happened. I bought a used Far Cry 2 game off Amazon, added the Fortunes Pack & patches and then your mod. The lead in start video as I passed the refugees near the airport several of them started jumping up and down like the Masaai tribe. Then at the check point were the taxi driver of the Jeep offers the mercs beer, 3 of the guards started jumping. One guard jumped so high he died when he landed-lol, So I removed the mod and the Masaai Tribe jumping still happened---have no clue why. Reinserted the mod after tutorial and it all worked fine. Only the non NPC AI at the start video jumped up and down, my original new game never did that hmmmm.

Can you change the weapons in the weapons slots around?

I always wanted to carry around the silenced MP5, silenced shotgun, and a sniper rifle at the same time. Be nice to mix up the weapons slots.

I am going to try the mod soon.
