NCRForever Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) First, this is so awesome that we can now mod FC3. But how do we install them once we have dl'd a mod? Any advice would be great thank you. Copied from inarkin's reply below: Install mods: Most of the mods are coming in the patch.dat/fat files, so everything you need is:1. Backup your own patch.dat and patch.fat files from the far cry 3/data_win32 folder2. Copy new patch.dat and patch.fat files to the far cry 3/data_win32 folder To uninstal you should just restore your own patch.dat and patch.fat files to the far cry 3/data_win32 folder Edited January 2, 2013 by NCRForever

NCRForever Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 Thanx. I will add it to the OP. It's good to know. Hopefully NMM will be updated to do it for us.
LeoONE69 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Guys how do you use many mods at the same time? I would have two mods I would like to enable, but both are in patch.dat/fat files :(

Here's some docshttp://www.modding.fc3wiki.com/Main_Page Here's fc3 mod threadhttp://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/734046-Mods-for-Far-Cry-3 And here's personal place of the SVN toolset creator with the lates updateshttp://svn.gib.me/builds/dunia2/ Just read infos. If you willing to learn it's not quite too hard to understand what and how to do.
NCRForever Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 I think WinMerge might be the easiest way to merge them. I haven't tried Gibbed's or Notepad++. So not sure how easy they are.

So not sure how easy they are.WinMerge is just text-tool. You still need Gibbed tools to unpack initial mods.
TheFourthHorse Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Just a reminder for fellow newbies; I had trouble unpacking the game files until I realized I wasn't running the unpacker in admin mode. Be sure to have the ticked under the unpacker's properties. Now I'm having trouble with the unpacker crashing before it finishes Edited January 4, 2013 by TheFourthHorse
