StarCry mod unlocks

[Xenogray]

Hello everyone,
Bought the game right before it disappeared from the store it seems, to play a StarCry that I started back in the day and never finished.
Anyone found how to unlock everything ? Can't find a damn tutorial / documentation or anything about what can be unlocked and how and floppy disks are DAMN HARD to find (already halfway to my second run and still haven't unlocked anything since the end of the first one...)

Thank you :)

FYI, to properly load and add more than one mod to Crysis 1 on Steam follow this guide, no need of launch parameters "-mod ....":

The mod loader in main menu is broken, and any reputable mod dev will tell you to avoid it. "-mod" command or batch (.bat) files are the only reliable methods to load a mod correctly.

The guide will teach you how to fix mods not working/loading from menu (hence the "broken & unreliable" bad fame), and the rest of mods seem to be working fine. Tested with 4-5 mods without problems... My guess is that many didn't understand how MODS menu worked, so I created this guide.
Please list these allegedly "not working" mods so I can test them with the method in the guide.

"-mod ..." is good if you want it to be persistently loaded at launch, since the MODS menu will only work for current session (+ relaunch with mods temporarily enabled).

@hexaae Despite what you may think about this method, it is not a silver bullet. One of the community veterans has a lot to say about it:

Nothing new. All of this has been known since the mod menu was introduced in patch 1.2. Mod loader menu can be used for some mods. Other mods aren't compatible. Use the startup method provided by the mod maker and you'll avoid a lot of problems. If the mod comes with its own bat file or .exe launcher that launches the mod with specific parameters, commands, and CVar values, then using the UI mod loader is sure to break something because all it does is restart the game with a ``-mod mymod`` parameter. Some mods directly state that they are not compatible with the in-game mod launcher, while others are fine. Always read the readme file and installation instructions provided with the mod.

Note added to the guide above.

Hello. I'm the creator of this mod released ten years ago. Contact me if you need anything about it, i still have all the files on my hard drive.

Hey, is there still any possible way to download the Mod, cause' i can't find any website where it is possible.

I think is still available if you Google "gamepressure: Crysis - StarCry : Reloaded"

The old version of the mod is not working anymore with most modern PCs, but I will share new files that remove most problems. I can play with a ryzen cpu and windows 11 now. I worked on a new official webpage and UE5 concept illustrations, but I just had a baby that takes all my free time... So, please wait a little bit more :) Be careful when you download files on unofficial websites.
