Farcry render modes

Does anyone know how to unlock the additional render modes in farcry?
ie improved, cold, paradise and cartoon

i got a gfti4200. Do i need directx9.0 hardware to use them?

I believe so.
I think the only other issue they hard (Gfx related), was new ATI cards not being able to use their pixelrender 3.0 modes properly.

Only the NV40 can currently use the 3.0 modes I believe.

And yes, DX9.0 is necessary to use the various render modes.

You need to set the environment settings to high, to use paradise, cold, and cartoon.

whats this cartoon?

It renders the game using cell shading like the game XIII, so object have black lines around them. Soldiers look like cartoon characters from GI joe. It makes the jungle look like shit though.

I like the other effects better, Jungle is my favourite as it add more colour saturation to the image

How do i change the modes?

i use cold. it looks awesome..

now would me ti4200 handle it :P

You want to borrow my 9800? Only Kidding

sure, chuck it in the mail to perth :P

I found that i get about 10fps or so better without special render modes, so now I just leave it at default. Only ones that are much different are cold (my comp really doesnt like that) and cartoon (pointless).

awesome game though :p even on medium settings..

im stuck on it at the moment though

note the radar and rockets

every blip on the radar pretty much has a rocket launcher for a arm, that makes me sad, o and then there is also the lava

anyone got a easy way of getting though this?

isn't there a buggy there? if there is... drive past the first three fatboys... hit them if you like, it does damage, generally I'd shoot the third one to death with the buggy guns, then make sure you kill the bouncy fecker thats about, he will kill you otherwise, then you RUN RUN RUN up to the top of the ridge near the tower, then you have to kill the two dudes on the other side quickly or they will kill you, then you RUN over the little rock outcrop and jump to the other side... MAKE SURE you have enough runny/jumpy blue bar stuff to make the jump, then get the FUCK behind that big rock before a rocket hits you, should be a save point right there, and some health and shit :P

Don't try kill all the baddies, you'll die, and probably run out of ammo :P

at least... I THINK that's where you are.... i can't imagine you'd be anywhere else, unless you're past where i'm at, in which case damn....

yeah, thats it, ive tryed sumthing like that, but i fell off the log :(

and the bloody bugies handling pisses me off

meh its a peice of piss to drive :P

ok i forgot to mention, DON'T FALL OFF THE LOG
and DON'T FALL OFF THE ROCK LEDGE :P

you need to save a little bit of stamina for the end bit or you won't jump at all

and beleive me, you'll be sad if you get that far and can't jump :P

kill a couple fatboys with the buggy gun if you can possibly manage it (after you've gotten past the first two, and killed the third), it makes it much easier to get through them if you even kill one...

but MAKE SURE you kill the bouncing trigen with the assault rifle, he will KICK YOUR ARSE otherwise. Then just try to take a zigzag path, don't get too close to the fatboys or they will hit you with the rockets. Is all good otherwise, rockets are nice and slow.

Failing that... you COULD just try killing everything in sight... starting on one side and working through... you might manage it.......... sif. :P

just remember to aim for their face it doesn't take much to kill them with shots to the head :P

i killed the first three on the left side ramming them with the buggy :)

i swear it does more damage to those guys hiting them in the chest, ive put 5 sniper rounds into one of their heads before and he no die, 3 in the chest and he dies (that was on a diff monster,not the same btw)

omg on what setting do they die like that, i usually need to empty at least two guns into them before they die. (veteran)

err and i think you need to hit them in the head... im fairly sure that metal stuff = armour.

wtf is that green thing on their chests supposed to be? gives off green fireworks when you shoot them there.

yeah, thats y i figure it hurts em more, i play on medium :D

that usually 2 - 2.5 clips shotty and p90 both work well

realistic level kinda gay i thought it would mean like one shot one kill sorta stuff.. but it only takes them 1 - 3 shots to kill u even with full armour and they are the same :(

Bah. I hate veteran.

It took me forever to get past the catacombs and now I'm up to the level when you're in the back of the Humvee.. and I can't kill the copter.

Always die... *sigh*

*fires far cry up again...*

well my mate managed to pass my troubled section with sheer fluke and bad driving.

he hung a left just after u come off the broken bridge, did a jump managed to land on solid ground instead of lava kept on powering along yet another freaking jump and he cleared another river of lava and crushed a bouncy dude sitting on the road and then got a checkpoint.

the bastard

now im ou in the big open bit with bouncy dudes and rockets, and godamn its hard
