Before installing, make sure you: 1. Validate that you have the official game files, updated to the latest version. This means: - In uPlay: go to Far Cry 5's "Properties", and click "Verify Files" - In Steam: go to Far Cry 5's "Manage", then "LOCAL FILES" tab and click "Verify Integrity of game files..." 2.You may also need to disable automatic updates for the game after that: - In uPlay: go to Far Cry 5's "Properties" and UNcheck the box "Automatic updates for this game" - In Steam: go to Far Cry 5's "Manage", then "UPDATES" tab and click "Only update the game when I launch it." 3. Then extract the mod's zip file into the game folder, overwriting any existing files.
In the misc. files section here on NexusMods, I uploaded a map file showcasing: - The new weapons - The available clothing/body parts - The new AI (SO many the editor may crash in explore/play mode, be warned!) - The new scripting actions - Example on how the HELPERMOD particle "spawning" workaround works - Some interesting new objects (forming to terrain/texture, interactive, stims, etc)

Thank you again very much, your response to the last post helped me a lot. I have a question - suggestion. Is it possible in the script to make the object not disappear, but break? For example, a fragile object to break, and an explosive barrel to explode! If the barrel exploded according to the script, it would bring a lot of interesting features, such as dynamic destruction of objects, doors, etc. I don't even dream of moving objects in a script anymore. I noticed yesterday that some static objects that I create with the script turn into dynamic ones. I'll post a video of it later, but I don't think it has anything to do with your modification!
So far, you can break objects by spawning a fire object (like a Fire Jet) on them. I'm working on adding additional damage types, not sure if that'll turn out well.
As for the static objects, they indeed turn into "dynamic" ones. The vanilla editor doesn't allow those objects to be spawned, when I lifted that restriction I found out why. :)
Still, I added it in nonetheless. It can be a very resource-intensive performance hog in maps, but used sparingly it's kinda neat! :)
Hello there! Installed the latest version of the mod, the control area does not work. I made a video showing the problem in more detail. The game interface is Russian, since I'm from Russia. If you see what the problem is, I will be very grateful!
Did Ubisoft recently update the game? I literally can not install even the base form of your mod. the second i transfer over your DLL, the Editor completely crashes on bootup. no other files just the DLL. the one thing i need to not have the dumb AI limit. note that ive been using this mod for like 2 years until recent break and now theres just no compatibility at all, despite 5 different verifications and Clean installations. do i have to delete all my map data in documents or something
both the Fix and the Steam Fix you have end up with the same result
How can I fix this issue myself, Steve? I have the Steam version. In the log it says that the patch.fat was not found. Im not sure where to look for that Steamfix zip, could you send me a link perhaps?
Thanks dude, that worked. Curious to see whats in the next update.. I wish we had a flashlight, that would be great for horror maps, also is there a way to make it so you can use your custom soundpoints?
Unfortunately I won't be adding New Dawn content to the editor, as Far Cry 5 doesn't contain those assets by default. Meaning maps made with them in it will crash the game for most other players.
I only do mods that won't have the game crash on vanilla installs.
Hi Steve! I don't know what I am doing wrong but your mod just won't show up in editor. I verified integrity of games files a week or 2 before I downloaded this latest version today. Previous version worked fine but this one it just doesn't show up when I start editor. I put the folders where I was suppose to but it just won't work. Default version of editor starts.

Hi Steve! Thanks for the reply. That's all I get in the windows log. I sent a message to Misah asking him to help me with workaround. I also sent you a message to farcrymods.freeforums.net because I thought I might get in touch with you faster. I apologize for that. I copied the contest of your bin and data_final to where the root game is and replaced when asked. I didn't know what to do with the bin plus. Then when I clicked on the FC5ModinstallerCMD it said about patch.fat not being found. So I copied the contents from steamfix and clicked again on the FC5Mod installerCMD I get the message about Bad launch params. I would really like to be able to make this work because I really like your mod. Sorry if I sound way too ubernoobish. Do I need to double click on the FC5ModinstallerCMDor just copy contents to bin folder and that's it? I don't remember doing that from old version.
OMG I AM SO STUPID! It works now!! I know now what I did wrong!! I copied the contents to the wrong steam library!! I have FC5 on a different disk but I was copying the stuff to the old one. I apologize for wasting your time. I feel so incredibly stupid lol Thank you for the mod AND your help!!
Just to inform you of a kinda serious bug. The mod removes the smoke of the smoke grenade in single player and multiplayer. That could be considered cheating and get you banned on multi :(
The mod shouldn't touch the effects. On a new Deathmatch map, if I throw the Smoke Grenade, there's smoke on my end.
If anything, the map may be using too many visual effects, which cancels out other effects. This would then be the case for all players, not just those who have the mod installed.
Hi Steve, I would like to ask you about the music, TK in the editor there are only so-called cycles, that is, one style of music, no matter the stealth element now or still action went.So, your mod has a lot of music that changes depending on the game's gameplay, like in the campaign?
Hello Steve! I was looking to build a map with respawning vehicles but didn't find any respawning properties like those in the AI characters or animals. CAn't copy paste properties as it is possible with object sizes. Is there a chance we could see that implemented?
Hello thanks for the reply. I tried that but you can't chain spawn more than 1 vehicle sadly. Since the object has not yet "spawned" in the world it breaks any triggers or scripts attached. Don't know why.
Place vehicle A Place vehicle B, set to upon destruction of A Place vehicle C, set to upon destruction of B Place vehicle D, set to upon destruction of C ... and so on. The editormod does not actively impose a 8 vehicle limit in the map.

misah49009 mentioned "Workaround/Fix: in cmd as admin, run "lodctr /R" before launching the editor", maybe that will help a bit.
Next update for the mod will have it integrated.

The FC5ModinstallerCMD file is not intended to be run by users, my editormod will use it internally to install additional mods.
