Farcry Mods. This seems to come up every few months, but I don't remember definitive answers. Is anyone playing these?

Here is the main Mod Page. I've heard about Cerebrus Protocol which is supposed to be an awesome 8 Level single player campaign. There were even reviews on a few of the levels a few months ago. I've also heard of X-Isle which is a sort of Jurrasic Park Mod, which kind of fizzled out. Do any of these come to fruition *and* are worth playing? Who can attest to ....a) worthy b) single player c) professional level mods out there?

In my experience, I always heard of some great mods in the making, and from what I have seen, they are still in the making :(

With the only exceptions being some single map mods. I really thought that by now, a new 8 to 10 level game mod would be available.

Matto3 is a very large single player level that is extremely well done. Here is one place you can find it:

It's good, very good. I haven't finished the level yet, but from what I have seen, it's probably the best SP mod map I've played.

I've seen the video of something called X MOD i think. It has bullet time, new weapons and graphics, looks great, but its not out yet.

Playing Matto mod now after reading this thread. Very good map and some really cool other stuff (loved the Splinter Cell reference).

Noob.

I don't know about "mods."

How does it work? I've finished Farcry veteran level, nearly finished Realistic level.

Is mod like another level. or another world instead of the island, or what> How to you put it into your Farcry game?

One more vote for Matto3. I loved how they reproduced that famous movie scene. :cool:

Matto4 is in the works last I heard. There are some good preview screenshots on Matto's homepage.

Did anyone play Matto1? The Matto maps are apparently continuous, so I wanted to start at the beginning. However Matto1 is in german, so I have no idea what's going on storywise or objectivewise. Basically, I made it all the way to the top, where the satallite dish was, grabbed a blue keycard and flew the hanglider down to a boat. But at that point the map restarted itself, and I'm not sure if that was the end or not.

Doesn't matto3 come with an installer? If not there should be a txt file that will give instructions.

uh... dunno. I've installed it, but I haven't played it. Is your farcry patched to at least 1.3?

says here: http://farcry.filefront.com/file/Matto3;43116
Installation:
Start the setup-file, follow the instructions and install Matto_3 into your FarCry main dir.
------------------------------------------------
Starting Matto_3:
Loading MOD: Start Farcry, go into the mods menu select Matto_3 and press "load MOD".
Matto_3 provides a menu to start the level, load saved games and a new benchmarkmenu.
IMPORTANT: Matto_3 should not be started by using the console!

For anyone that wants to know to use a mod for .eg. the "Matto 3" mod all you do is this:

1..Go to the list of mods here for the "Matto 3" mod and save it to your PC....One good thing about this play is you won't have to wait 2Hr to get a mod.

2..After you save it to your PC, run it.

3..When it comes to the part where they ask you, "where do you want to install the mod to", the easiest way i found is to install it to your desktop.

4..Wait don't go all crazy on me just yet, hear me out, the reason i say install it to your desktop, is cause it is the easiest way to use this mod.

5..Now here is what you do, there should be 3 files that been installed on your desktop.

6..Open your far cry folder, if you didn't change anything it should be like this:

"C:\Program Files\UBISOFT\Crytek\Far Cry", look for the folder called "levels" and "mods" now place each folder on your desktop( the One you have just installed) in their respective places.

Then start up Far Cry like normal and go to the mods menu, choose the mod "Matto3", the program will restart and then run fine.

If any one has any questions or coments let me know.
