I had a few problems. Just needed to restart, install directx9 from the cd and not get pissed off.

Sounds like its a bit fucked though mate, I'd try and get a replacement.

It's pretty good. Hands are overlarge, gun is kind of big, but it's good.

EvoG · Post by **EvoG** » Sat Apr 03, 2004 2:49 am

Yea I scaled the hands already...didn't look large until I rigged and posed it...crazy.

He's also not a buff guy, so no large, hero chest for you man lovers.

Any of you fools playing online yet(farcry)?

Cheers

Buttons, you forgot buttons on his shirt. Unless its some pulloverish thing? Or I'm blind?

EvoG · Post by **EvoG** » Sat Apr 03, 2004 7:46 am

No buttons...there is a button flap running the length of he front covering them, most likely to avoid snagging.

Okay, I see it now.

The model seems like it needs more... stuff. I don't know, maybe some kneepads, body armor or a vest and some more patches and insignia or something. Something to give the uniform more details and make it look less like he's wearing pajamas.

Have finally it got it running! I had to (in order):-

- Install new firmware for my Samsung CDRW/DVD drive just to install it..

- Switch back to bog stock BIOS settings as it didn't like my overclocking or RAM optimisation one little bit..

- Disable Norton anit-virus to stop it freezing...

Not very impressive as H&D2, CoD and Broken Sword 2 all run sweetly on my PC with the hardware maxed out!

I'm just hoping the gameplay and graphics will make up for the grief I've had getting it to run... The really wierd thing is that it never asked for the CD Keys once during install...

My PC spec:-

GC = GeForce FX5700U (with 56.72 WHQL driver)
CPU = 3.20 GHz P4 - 8KB L1 cache/512KB L2 cache
Mem = 1 GB Corsair DDR 400/PC3200 Low Latency Cas 2 (2 x 512MB Matched)
HD = WDC WD600AB-32BVA0 (awaiting funds for SATA drive..)
MB = ASUS P4P800 Deluxe (Springdale chipset 800MHz FSB)
CDRW/DVD = Samsung SM-308b

It should run pretty well. The geforce cards have problem with shadows and shit though, so you might want to turn it down for the indoor levels.

Evo G: Yeah, I agree with Doyle. He looks like he's wearing a pretty clean camouflage spandex suit or something. Mabye make the helmet a little bigger and have a chin-strap, some of the clothes a bit baggier and add grenades or ammo belts or something lol? His elbows and shoulders also seem a bit jaggy. Mabye a kevlar vest? Also mabye make the camouflage a bit darker.

EvoG · Post by **EvoG** » Sat Apr 03, 2004 12:05 pm

Well sure...he can always have 'more' cool stuff, but I was really just showing some of my art for cloud.

This character is to spec for what we need, but who's not to say there won't be one as you described, battle worn and wearing all the gear.

Cheers

Some parts of that rifle seems to big , or out of proportion , at least in some of the pictures , besides that it looks pretty good.

No lol!

I had a look at the editor though. Pretty bizarro.

Megatron · Post by **Megatron** » Sun Apr 04, 2004 3:34 pm

I'm on the last level. It's fucked up.

Didn't mind the lobby or the room with 1 bit of cover, those are pretty easy compared too the bit afterward.

I liked the dam level. Seemed a bit shorter and linear compared too other outdoor maps, but the start was one of the better parts over the last few levels.

I hope the ending suddenly gets better or have some intresting fire-fight, hopefully involving vechiles or chains.

edit: Finished. That was probably the most hardest level I've ever played. Didn't enjoy it much and the ending seemed to scream sequel, but now I can play through with cheatas

So is it worth buying?

Mad Max RW · Post by **Mad Max RW** » Mon Apr 05, 2004 3:03 am

It's only $40. If you have a fast computer you'd be wrong not to buy Far Cry.

Megatron · Post by **Megatron** » Mon Apr 05, 2004 12:09 pm

If your computer can handle it, I'd get it. I haven't tried the mp, but as an sp shooter it's been the best this CENTURY :wank:
