About this mod
Various changes to the core game such as removing Malaria, infinite stamina, and reducing weapon costs.
- Permissions and credits
Hello all, my name is EChondo and this is my first official "mod" uploaded here to the Nexus. It's mostly simple game changing tweaks and since there aren't any tweaks like the ones I wanted here on the Nexus(or any tweaks anywhere without "realism" tweaks on top of them), I figured I would make the tweaks I wanted myself and share them with others who are interested. Enjoy!
The Main File is one big combination of all the tweaks I have done to the game. This is specifically tailored to myself and how I like and want to play the game. None of these changes have "realism" or any theme like that, no damage or health changes have been made.
The Optional Files are all of the tweaks separated into individual downloads that you can use if you don't like specific aspects of the tailored version for myself. I can take requests to do custom combinations if you're really itching for specific changes.
Okay, now to get to business. The full list of changes in the Main File are;
Each change above has its own individual file you can download in the Optional Files section. I've combined a few together as well to give a few more options.
Cost reductions are;
All weapon costs have been cut in half, then rounded up to an even number if needed. For example, the USAS12's original cost is 35, cutting it in half is 17.5, then rounded it up to 18. So the new reduced cost is 18 Diamonds.
The old total cost for weapons was 440 Diamonds and the new total cost is 234 Diamonds, that's a 206 Diamond difference.
Also all manuals/bandoiler/Camo Suit/Large Medkit costs are untouched, the Medium Medkit upgrade is reduced from 25 to 15, and the Weapon crate costs have been cut in half.
I figured only changing the core weapon costs and a few other things wouldn't make the game too easy, just to help with the grind a bit.
Notes;
I have tested these changes on the GOG 1.3 version of Far Cry 2 with the Fortune's Edition DLC. Some users are reporting crashing on the Steam version, I cannot replicate this, so I am unsure if this is an issue on my end or the other end.
How to install;
After downloading ONE of the .zip files, just extract the "patch.dat" and "patch.fat" files into the "C:....\Far Cry 2\Data_Win32" folder. If Windows asks if you want to replace or keep the files, choose replace.
How to uninstall;
Hopefully you made a backup of your old patch.dat and patch.fat files, if yes then just replace the modded ones with your old original ones. If no, then delete the modded ones and go into Steam/Ubisoft/GOG and do the Veirfy/Repair option in the client let it scan and download the missing files(patch.dat and patch.fat).
All these changes/tweaks were made possible by using Rick's Far Cry 2 Mod Tools: http://www.nexusmods.com/farcry2/mods/274/?
Changelog;
1.0: Initial uploads with 5 tweaks(All items unlocked, Enemy AI less chase, Infinite Stamina, Item costs reduced, and No Malaria) and their individual .zip files.
