For those who havn't found this yet, there a a couple of dozen or so very fun mods available for FC3 on PC. Be ware, you need to root about in the game's file directory and unpack/pack certain files using compiler tools, but it's all pretty straightforward if you have the patience.

For example:

I just started my second playthorugh and I have:
Unlocked all abilities from the start
Unlocked the wingsuit from the start
Removed tagging from the binoculars so I can scout without wallhack/icons
Weapons can be hosltered
All weapons can take attachments

There are plenty of other mods available too, including hardcore compilations that remove all icons from the maps, damage modifiers for weaponry, super-low graphics settings for lower end PCs, economy mods, various UI mods including mini map changes or removal, etc...

If anyone needs a hand, please let me know (add me on steam), I don't mind walking you through the steaps (it took me a while to get the hang of).

The thread is active with peopel who know a lot more than me, though, so it's worth signing in there with your uplay id and getting involved!

Cheers!

Too bad you need to do alot of editing to get the stuff to work, i am not a modder, i just like to use mods, not edit stuff to get it to work, if you know what i mean.

It really isn't as complex as it sounds. All you need to do is extract a few files, combine them, zip them back up, and cop yand paste.

the problem is the tutorials arent' written very well, I think.

I might try writing a more user friendly version at some point.

There are "compilation" Mods available at Far Cry 3 Nexus that combine several Mods. into one easy to install package.

I am still looking for a mod that lets me kill civilians without penalty.
I beat the game and the civilians are just there. May as well put them to use.

There are active enemies still left at several locations. - I suggest reactivating all the
outposts - decide which you want to clear and in what order and then planning your
tactics / approach for each one.

I've done it a dozen times - makes the Rook Islands an ever changing landscape of
hostile and friendly terratories.

For anyone who might feal uneasy about trying this - let me set your mind at ease:


Working with HxD (Hex Editor) is the easiest quick fix for many particular
individual elements of the FC 3 experience.

Once you've saved a copy of your original file it's as easy as 1 2 3

First -
Get HxD here:

http://www.mh-nexus.de


You can pick and choose excatly what you want to change.

The hex editor works exactly like any text editor.


Locate your DLL file:

for UPLAY purchase
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Far Cry 3\bin ***

If you are running the game with DirectX 11, open
\bin\FC3_d3d11.DLL in your game installation folder
(eg. Steam\steamapps\common\Far Cry 3\bin)

Back up the .dll file: (copy to: C:/ 'directory of your choice' )
->>Remember this address <<- It is your only fix if things go arye



Edit the file:

1 ) - Just open up HxD and drop your original file into the HxD window.

2 ) - Copy and paste any of the codes you find in that mod page into the
search panel of HxD run the search and replace the found codes with
your moded code.

3 ) - Now just save the file and run the game.

4 - Congratulations - You've just modded the game.



Here are a few you can try:


Holster Weapon

Locate:
06 00 83 7E 40 01 75 04

Replace with:
06 00 83 7E 40 00 75 04


Stop the damned Blinking Objects:

Locate:
48 69 67 68 4C 69 67 68 74 43 6F 6C 6F 72 32 00 48 69 67 68 4C 69 67 68 74 43 6F 6C 6F 72 00

Replace with:
48 69 67 68 4C 69 67 68 74 43 6F 6C 6F 72 00 00 48 69 67 68 4C 69 67 68 74 43 6F 6C 6F 72 32



Remove HUD (includes minimap)

Search for "showuielement"
In the next few lines, you will see S.h.o.w.U.I.E.l.e.m.e.n.t.
Replace the S.h.o.w.U.I.E.l.e.m.e.n.t. with H.i.d.e.U.I.E.l.e.m.e.n.t.


To remove all intrusive sounds, copy and paste each sound item from the list below
into your HEX editor and search for TEXT, then replace the HEX value for the text
with zeros.


sndCancelMission
sndArmorTutorial
sndObjectiveUpdatePopup
sndLogUpdatePopup
sndTutorialUnlockPopup
sndTutorialPopup
sndHintPopup
sndDetectionUpdate
sndDetected
sndMission_EnterZone
sndMissionStart
sndGainXP
sndLevelUpReminder
sndLevelUp
sndDefaultInteraction
sndSwitchGadget
sndObjective
sndHintBinocular

Save this newly fixed DLL and run the game.


(( I have an odd but harmless glitch with the remove HUD change.

When I die or load up the game the hud doesn't dissappear untill
I use the weapons shop. ???

Might just be happening on my system - I have a slightly unusual setup.))



Hope this helps.
