This mod has made major changes to the weapons. It really needs more Beta testing to get the balance correct and the power of some weapons may need adjusting. Any feedback will be considered for any version 2. In the meantime feel free to alter the power of the weapons yourself if you are so inclined by reading Advanced Use.txt.

The aim was to create a mod to replay the original game and custom levels giving a different experience and needing a revision in tactics.

Before playing please read the following:

Basic Use.txt - for how to install the mod, play Far Cry under the mod, play custom maps under the mod (I will release a single player custom map made specifically for this mod called Horus9 a few weeks after it's release Dec06/Jan07)

Weapons.txt - Very important to at least read the summary, preferably all to familiarize yourself with the way things work, noting in particular which are short and which long range weapons. Using the wrong weapon in a situation doesn't usually work. If you don't read it you may miss things that you could use and you may not understand what killed you.

The weapons tend to rely heavily on particle effects which requires more pc power than normal. Please read NewWave Settings.txt

For starting custom maps with a set difficulty level read Advanced Use.txt


KNOWN BUGS AND ODDITIES
-----------------------
Using the health throw (rock replacement) gives red onscreen like damage, it causes a dynamic light burst on most settings and has impulse, so this really needs more work.
The S100 Photon rifle may seem unable to kill some mercs inside in the carrier level without an absurd number of hits due to projectile hits on body armour. Use the electron bolt pistol or Pulse (P90) in Carrier if you find this problem.


I started this mod using the 1.33 cumulative patch but finished it under the 1.4 all-in-one patch. There were a few things that worked under 1.33 but caused freeze on 1.4, I fixed these. I finished all testing on 1.4 so I don't know how the mod will play under 1.33 or less.
