-------------- DEAD CRY OPEN BETA --------------
----------------- MARCH 1 2014 -----------------
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------


Hi! Thank you for downloading the Dead Cry Open Beta! Welcome to this quick guide on how to install and run this mod.
It's actually very simple and should only take you a couple of minutes. Good night and good luck!


--------------------------------------------------
---------------- HOW TO INSTALL ----------------
--------------------------------------------------


WARNING: This mod is NOT compatible with any other mod, like the ones created by Razor and Ziggy.
Please make sure you have a clean and updated Far Cry 3 installation.


1. Go to your Far Cry 3 installation directory and open "data_win32", which will likely be in the following location:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Far Cry3\data_win32"

Or in the case of Steam:

"C:\Program files\Steam\Steamapps\common\Far Cry 3\data_win32"

2. BACKUP the original "common" and "patch" files. I cannot emphasize this enough so I will say it again: BACKUP your original files.
And one more time: BACK THEM UP. You can either rename the files or copy them to a separate folder.

3. REPLACE the "common.dat" and "common.fat" files with the ones from this download.
This download also contains the original "patch.dat" and "patch.fat" files which are known to be fully compatible. Just in case.


Next up, we will install the levels and custom XML file.


1. Go to your "Documents\My Games\Far Cry 3" folder.

2. BACKUP and REPLACE the original "GamerProfileIGE.xml" file with the one from this download.

3. PLACE the ".fc3map" levels in the "Documents\My Games\Far Cry 3\user maps" directory.


--------------------------------------------------
---------------- YOU'RE DONE! ----------------
--------------------------------------------------


That's it! You can now load the levels and press CTRL-G to play the game. You'll automatically spawn at the start of a level.
One more thing though. You can play fullscreen using the application delivered with this download. Don't worry, it's not a virus. ;)
You can even apply a hotkey to the editor so you can toggle back to your desktop with the simple press of a button.


--------------------------------------------------
----------- HOW TO PLAY & OBJECTIVES -----------
--------------------------------------------------


CROSSING STREETS: Reach the supermarket accross 32nd Street without attracting ANY attention.

LINE 18: Reach Mobile Avenue and follow the Line 18AB tracks out of the city.

- EASY: Weapons free. Use any weapon at your disposal.
- NORMAL: Pickup the handgun delivered at your spawn. Find other weapons along the way.
- HARD: Handguns only. No grenades, moletovs or any other weapon.
- SPEEDRUN: Run, Forrest, run! How fast can you get to the end of the level?

The final release will feature multiple map files with varying levels of difficulty.
However, as long as we are optimizing the mod, the beta contains single map files for each individual level.
