Far Cry - Tent AI Bug Fix v.16052019 - Game mod - Download

Tent AI Bug Fix to mis a mod for Far Cry, created by FarOutCry.

Description (In author’s own words):

Hello FarCry fan!

Tired of being unable to sneak into a tent without being shot to death through the walls. Who isn't? This fix changes that one thing, and no more! The game was not

intended to be this way.. It's a proper bug related to the official 1.4 patch, and not Ubisoft or CryTek being mean :)

Step 1: Open your FarCry folder. Note that it contains a folder named FCData..

Step 2: Copy the "Tent AI Bug Fix.pak" file to the FCData folder. And you're done. This should work flawlessly with all patches and mods.

The entire "Tent AI Bug Fix.pak" file is Ubisoft's intellectual property. The files inside were last modified in 2004 by CryTek. This fix is not officially endorsed, but

is ideal for single player! There's no need to install a massive patch to fix this one issue.

[technical stuff] The tent AI was broken in the 1.4 patch. Well kind-of. They enabled shooting through tents for multiplayer but failed to pick a value that preserves single

player gameplay. If you'd like to get technical, the .pak file is actually a ZIP file. Open it with a zip utility such as 7zip. Note the official documentation in the

\Scripts\Materials\README.txt file. Of interest are the values for the piercing_resistence attribute. Now open the \Scripts\Materials\mat_canvas.lua file in a text editor.

There's a line near the bottom that says "piercing_resistence = 15" .. that's what controls all of this. The main options are 0, 7 and 15. A value of 0 allows AI to look

and shoot through materials. Not so good if you're trying to hide behind it! A value of 7 stops AI from looking through the material. This seems ideal for both singleplayer

and multiplayer. For multiplayer, bullets should still pass through the tents. Best of both worlds, really. But in single player, the AI will still shoot you through tents

IF you taunt them by throwing stones where they can see. Probably not a big deal unless your play style includes that. And finally a value of 15 stops AI from looking

through the material OR shooting you through it. Transforms your tent into a metaphorical castle. This particular version is perfect for singleplayer.

Entire package is copied from a fresh version 1.1 installation. All I did was rename it, and remove the un-related data. (and write this README)

You may be interested in my fairly ambitious ultra-widescreen patch. Covers from 4:3 up to 48:9 while looking damn good. It's called FarOut Widescreen. Have fun!
