🛈 Announcement
Greetings! Far Cry forums are now archived and accessible in read-only mode, please go to the new platform to discuss the game.

    I've come to the decision to release the TangoExtender to the public.

    For those of you who don't know what that is, that's the software we use to do RCON commands, to keep logs and score boards, to run the Last Man Standing game mode etcetera on the wgc servers.

    Better admined servers and the unlocks for the map editor (and possibilities for other mods) may give this game a renaissance. I'm willing to make a try to contribute to that.

    The extender will be released in executable format with documentation only. No source code will be made available.

    Hit me on xfire (tangotwozero) or PM me on www.waikikigunclub.com to get a copy of the TE. The non-wgc version is exactly the same as ours with all the features (and bugs) that ours have, except that it does not upload any stats to our web site.

    Thats great news Tango, thx a lot.
    I will ask FCCZ clan if they want to try out another software for their server and if yes, than I conntact you.
    So far we run that server by software made by DKM2 member of Farcry2 community from www.onopenworldgames.org
    You can see how the ladder here:

    Maybe I will ask him if we can offer to public as well, because you can administrate server much more easily and it run by it self, with or without PB.
    Ok so lets see if FarCry2 get now a bigger chance to survive longer.
    Iam very glad that we can see such big impulses for that

    Patient I don't know if you have seen the TE in action, but it is very nice. You can assign as many people as you want RCON from a pull-down menu, and then they can control the server with chat, doing maps, modes, kicks, extends, skips, forcestarts, bans, change uprising captains, all kinds of things. It is very easy and powerful. I hope you will like it a lot.

    I didnt see that in action, I saw only results on website and all those stats are great so I believe that everything else is on same level.
    Software what we use is also very nice, for example you can setup administration rights for user, who than need type in chat sa-kick or sa-ban or sa-ext as commands etc etc.
    I already asked DKM2 for permision send it to Tango, because I wish to he have chance see that. Maybe there is some good idea which could be used in TE as well
    I really looking forward to see it.

    Since yesterday I've distroed 10 copies on xfire & email. Hope you guys enjoy it. A new version that includes a few server-side mods* will be available soon.

    *Including, for example, running the game without the flame thrower. Players who select the flamer will spawn with a G3 rifle instead.

    the weapons mod sounds like a stroke of brilliance .. can you build that so that a person could run pistols or shotgun only ?

    Only thing possible to do, server-side is to swap out any gun for the default gun.

    Right now I'm running wgc#3 modded so it has no MGL, GL or flame thrower. The MGL & flamer are G3s and the M79 becomes a Star 45, ie they swap for the default guns if you had made no selection.

    If you don't mess with the defaults, you can do what I did and replace guns with the G3 or Star (a primary becomes the G3, a secondary the Star).

    If you DO mess with the defaults, you could swap out all classes guns for the defaults and set them up any way you like. That way you could have all players have the same pistol or the MP5 etc, even if they haven't got the gun yet.

    Found no way to set up "nothing" as default yet, therefore, a pistols only game (everyone having no primary gun but the same pistol) can't be done right now, as they all will have some kind of primary weapon.

    It MIGHT be possible to trick the system by setting up a pistol as the default primary though. I will test that.
