Just Cause 2 V.5 "WE NO LONGER HAVE A FUCKING SUBFORUM"

[The_Fly56556]

Can you add something to your patch which means you always have max Heat? I enjoy grappling cars to the road.

[Marzipas]

We should really call the next version, "Hello Mr. Snowman"

[Buttergoose]

Got my new PC yesterday, put it together and thought "I can finally play JC2!" well... Turned it on and the motherboard shorted itself :frown: Forgot the god damn standoffs...

[Chunk3ym4n]

We need a first person mod.

[Sickle]

Every thread title until we get a subforum should be 'WE NEED A FUCKING SUBFORUM'.

[Missing User]

Polite/Friendly thanks for the working version of your mod, still some glitch in it sometimes but wow, was able to climb on top of the world mountain quickly without any helicopters, its awesome.

Just dual wielding some machine guns can't wait to replace models. Imagine dual M93's with super slick textures and original sounds( yes like mw2)

Check out file 0xFC60DCC1 (Dunno the real filename :/) in pc0.arc, it's a huge compressed sarc file which includes a file called gea05_dif.dds. I'm pretty sure thats what you're looking for. :P

[fatal]

So, I wanted to contribute to the community of this awesome game but can't mod, so I thought I'll try my best to do a summary of what's been happening(been lurking for some time) for all those who are lost/confused/new. Hopefully this will reduce the number of repeated questions and stuff. Please tell me if I got anything wrong or missed out anything :)

Modding "to-do" (things being worked on or have been suggested) :
-all vehicles in black market (maxovitsj) (does this include the hot air balloon?)
-remove sheldon's helicopter cutscenes from black market (maxovitsj)
-categories/sorting in black market (maxovitsj)
-adding weapons to vehicles (ryukaki)
-heat level controls (bolopatch beta)
-time and weather control (upcoming bolopatch)
-vehicle unlimited health/god mode (upcoming bolopatch?)
-in-game, configurable hotkeys (e.g. for multi-rope on/off, upcoming bolopatch?)
-ablity to use grapple while in vehicle
-option to default to chaos parachute for those with the dlc (instead of having to buy it every time)
-camera mods/first person mod
-civilian/vehicle population level controls
-making ninjas spawn in town (should be easily possible since I've seen all the NPC models replaced with strippers before, unless the request is for adding and not replacing)
-reset the "lost" island after the mission (make the lightning generators work again) (actually, ability to replay the missions would be great, I know I'll love to do "Fry me to the moon" again :D)
-vehicle and weapon stats editing (vehicle speed/health etc, weapon damage, ammo count, etc etc)
-able to use weapons/ trigger explosives during freefall (how cool would it be to blow up every plane immediately after you've jumped off it)
-multiplayer mods!!! (this is the big one)

Already possible:
-Texture editing (reskins, use gibbed aka rck's tools. Woovie says: Extract the vehicle's EEZ file. Use smallunpack. Modify the texture you want to modify. smallpack the directory. rename from .sarc to .eez. Put in dropzone.)
-Infinite health/ammo/grapple range, etc, please read first post (bolopatch + polite/friendly's mod)
-Player model replacement ([url]http://mod.gib.me/justcause2/retail/replacers/[/url] put in your archives_win32 folder)
-Adding vehicles to black market (just not all have been added yet)

Also, all commandline parameters:
/frameratecap=<target_fps>, default: disabled
/failsafe Run in failsafe mode (ignore settings)
/fullscreen Fullscreen mode
/windowed Windowed mode
/width=n Width in pixels (fullscreen/windowed)
/height=n Height in pixels (fullscreen/windowed)
/widthFS=n Width in pixels (fullscreen)
/heightFS=n Height in pixels (fullscreen)
/widthW=n Width in pixels (windowed)
/heightW=n Height in pixels (windowed)
/msaa=n MSAA sample count
/vsync=b Enable/disable V-sync
/aniso=n Anisotropic filter (0-7, default: 7)
/shadows=n Shadow quality (0-2, default: 1)
/shadowres=n Shadow resolution (0-1, default: 0)

/hbao=b Enable/disable HBAO method for SSAO (default: enabled)
/plspec=b Enable/disable pointlight specular (default: disabled)
/posteffects=b Enable/disable posteffects (default: enabled)
/lodfactor=n Geometric detail (0-3, default: 0)
/decals=b Enable/disable decals
/edgefade=b Enable/disable edge fade effect
/filmgrain=b Enable/disable film grain effect
/fovfactor=, typical values 1.0 - 2.0 Changes the field of view, default is 1.0
/dxbuffers=, default: 1
/frameratecap=, default: disabled Allows you to cap your framerate at what every value you want.
/dxadapter= Allows those with multiple GPUs to force JC2 to use a specific device.

Lastly:
-The island where planes crash upon approach is a story mission for the Ular Boys called "Stranded". It's also a homage to "Lost".
-The mountain with 3 faces on it and a huge fortress behind is also a story mission, you can go inside the fortress during the mission.
-Locations of easter eggs, things like the hot air balloon, the whale, and lots of other things can be found here: [url]http://maplib.net/map.php?id=8630#[/url]
-Vehicle pictures and spawn locations can be found here: [url]http://petera94.co.cc/justcause2/[/url] (maybe bolo can add this to OP? At least until all these go into the wiki)
-When in doubt, search first. And read the first post of this thread :)

Hope I helped :)

That specific spot is located on all 4 major city islands, on your map you can see the curved road on the hillside, making 4 of those spots the same.

[QUOTE=snp;21115117]Any ideas where the Panau Police settings are located ? Looked in few .bin files but nothing useful, and In worldsim.bin but there's only the CarModel of them.[/QUOTE]

I changed their vehicles into tuk tuk's with heatspawn.bin.

what exactly are you looking for? heat, change spawn type, etc?

[editline]04:04AM[/editline]

[QUOTE=bassie12;21116452]I changed their vehicles into tuk tuk's with heatspawn.bin.[/QUOTE]

do they still go as fast or are they limited by the tuk-tuk's specs?

[bassie]

Tuk tuk specs.
Only their paint tries to stay like military.

[maxovitsj]

Ok.. well i've looked for the balloon, but i cant find it because it is no vehicle.
you cant enter it, you just activate the burner.
maybe if i added the choppers and stuff, ill take a look then

[bassie]

Heatspawn.bin seems to have alot of references to some pal files. which i think contains the color palette.
But i can't find those files anywhere.

Also, does anyone know if it is possible to add balloon to blackmarket?

[maxovitsj]

[QUOTE=bassie12;21116665]

Thats what im trying... do you even read what i post?

I can't find it, because its probably and object / entity and not a vehicle

[Porcupine162]

I don't think it's possible as it's not a vehicle.

Umm how can i put screenshots here ???

It's OK, thanks for trying! Yea adding all the vehicles and removing Sheldon's annoying cutscenes would be more important I think.

Too bad the devs HAD TO put the hot air balloon in the middle of nowhere.. literally.

That reminds me... teleport mod! (granted, unlimited grapple is pretty close already) Teleport to top of mountain, spawn vehicle, "drive" down, rinse and repeat :D

Yea, if i knew where the balloon is located in the game (i mean in the files you know) then it would be easy to add it :/
