After much work from the team, we have come to the conclusion that the best way to get more artists on board is to get out there with what we are doing a bit more.

Today, I am here to announce an “open beta / technology preview” that will be focused for level designers to come in and start making maps for C&C FarCry.

What is supported in the mod?

Currently we have almost all of our coding completed in 1.4 and are tracking down bugs as well as gearing up to start a huge push on getting our maps and buildings developed.

In our initial release we are providing you with all of the scripting, as well as a tutorial to start building your own C&C style maps for FarCry. At the current time we are not yet ready to release our own maps, but as community maps are created, we will be creating official community map packs.

The current mod has the following features:

  • Pre-built building classes including the Soldier Factory, Vehicle Factory, Refinary, Power plant, Communication Center, and Base Defense System
  • Pre-defined character classes including Basic Soldiers, Close (shotgun) Infantry, Snipers, Engineers, and Heavy Assault Infantry
  • Gun Emplacements allow for balanced automatic base protection
  • Security Zones aid in team communication and base protection, offering a second option in place of gun emplacements
  • Character class-defined player spawn points allow for custom spawning rules
  • Purchase Terminal access points may be placed where you feel they fit
  • Vehicle spawn points allow for unique base layouts
  • Entity and game logic work WITH you, not AGAINST you when designing your levels
  • "Lego-Style" building construction puts emphasis on art and level design over technology
  • Simple but powerful Building system designed for customized maps - You can make your own unique buildings just for you map!
  • Building log (including health and building-specific variables) can be defined per map
  • Dynamic Purchase Menu definable by map
  • Custom character classes definable per map


Please use our forums to report any bugs, issues, and questions that you have. Below is a link to the tutorial content, as well as the tutorial in PDF format.
Many thanks go to all of the team members who have came and passed, and especially to our current team roster. A huge thanks goes out to vloktboky for breaking his neck getting the code going, most of this work is his, and I must say, it turned out exactly as we expected it to, showing his skill.

this does not currently contain any levels, only the framework to start building them.

Intertesting. Now what would have been even better is a renegade engine mod, turning it into far cry and not the other way around Tell Me

a lot of people thought we have dropped our mods, we haven't, we are still dilegently working on 4 major projects, they just take time.

Also, the lack of more art people has caused some unexpected delays.
