Crysis Crisis Deepens
Written by Alec Meer on October 31, 2007 at 4:49 pm.
Either Crytek are quietly trying to cause no end of hell for EA, or the wrong Crysis demo got released and there are a whole lot of panicking, screaming, crying German developers right now.
First, the script for the entire game was discovered lurking in the demo files. Then a simple config file edit activated supposedly DirectX 10 and Vista-only graphical effects in DirectX 9 and XP. And now, someone faffing about with the bundled level editor has managed to dump a load of good stuff from later in the game into the demo map and make it playable. To find out how, what, who and wither, you’ll have to read on…
What’s in there? Guns. Lots of guns – the game’s entire repertoire (as well as an impressive selection of various explosives), it appears. Tanks, boats, assorted military vehicles and ridiculously powerful helicopters (which handle a little like Battlefield’s, and are hilarious overkill against the still popgun-armed Korean dudes). And one of the much-mooted aliens. If you want an early taste of what these flying tentacle laser-horrors are like to fight, and how the game’s human NPCs react to them, this’ll do it. Oops.
You want ‘demofunmap #5′ from here, the work of canny German modder siLe`. Extract the level.pak file and dump it into C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Game\Levels\island. Either overwrite the exisiting level.pak in there, or rename it to something with a different extension (e.g. .old) if you don’t wanna have to reinstall the demo later.
Then, start a new game in the demo (yes, you’ll have to do the cutscene’n'parachtute drop hoopla again) – be warned that apparently it only works on the Normal difficultly setting – and keep playing until the bit where you find your mate all Predatored up in the trees. Start following the objective arrow, and you’ll soon find a table full of a goodies, and an angry alien in the skies. Just beyond the table is an enemy encampment, and a short run to the left of that is vehicle and many-gun heaven. Clearly, this may spoil some of the full game for you. But in the relatively open environment of the demo’s island map, it allows for mega-playtime. Be warned that approaching the centre of the map in a chopper triggers the final cutscene and ends the demo, though.
Thanks to Gestalt for pointing this out, and apologies for not noticing sooner.

If I recall correctly, didn’t the Far Cry demo also have a load of stuff still in there? Although I don’t think it was quite as bad (or good, depending on which angle you’re looking at it from) as this veritable bounty.
It’s a shame I can’t really play it in anything other than juddering UglyVisionTM on my rig.

Cargo Cult says:
I read somewhere that the original Far Cry engine had loads of hard-coded assumptions as to the presence of content and data – needing a good chunk of the game to run at all.
Perhaps Crysis is vaguely similar in that respect?
Or maybe it’s like Source, where one brief mention in an audio definitions file or whatever means the content is regarded as required, even if it’s never actually shown or played. I had fun* building MINERVA’s manifests and audio caches with that…
Still, it explains why the Crysis demo is such a big-wobbly-fat-bastard huge download!

Chris R says:
Is there a way for some of your journalist types with contacts in the industry to find out if this was a mistake? Or if Crytek intended this? I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I’d be interested to know. More for the amusement factor than anything.

ZZ says:
Yeah, there’s nothing new on the left side of the first enemy camp, I verified it with the editor, using the level.pak from demofunmap #5… weird.
November 1st, 2007 at 1:54 pm
By first, do you mean the first bunch of enemies you encounter? I mean the bit after you find your strung-up dead colleague. And y’all are definitely on demofunmap 5, not the number 4 one above it?
If so, it could be the map’s been pulled/replaced with something sanitised. Hmm.
November 1st, 2007 at 2:12 pm
ZZ says:
I realized the problem was that I only extracted the level.pak from the .rar -archive, I didn’t realize that I also needed to extract the contents of the .pak -file to /island -dir.

hi guys , i find my map here “sry my english is not the best , iam from germany ;) ”
Win vista have problems with my map , i dont know why
or make a copy from ur old level.pak and paste to the desktop and overwrite than my level.pak in ur island folder ,and than start a new game
November 1st, 2007 at 3:08 pm
siLe` says:
Update:
hello guys, I suddenly have found my modificated of the island map here and have to tell you some further things which may be important: Windows Vista does not work with it properly, the reason is not known yet.
This could solve this problem: Backup your old /island/level.pak in a whole new folder and then overwrite the /island/level.pak with the modified one.

Uhh I’m using Vista and the new level worked fine. I lol’d so hard at the nuke gun and nuke tanks.
November 1st, 2007 at 5:01 pm
Chris R says:
Man, the nuke tank was a hell of a surprise for me. I thought it was a normal tank and drove it around for about 3 minutes before encountering some Surprised Korean Guys. I fired the cannon thinking it was just a regular tank… boy was I surprised at the small atomic cloud that exploded onto my screen. I was just as surprised as all the Surprised Korean Guys… such a funny moment. I was laughing so hard.
I also had a similar surprising moment when I tried out the TAC launcher, thinking it was a humble grenade launcher, and not a small nuclear hand held cannon.
Great stuff, so much fun to be had in a little demo.

Reporter says:
For those claiming they can’t ‘find’ the vehicles and the weapons, make sure you have downloaded demofunmap #5′. The linked site actually offers a #4 map as well, which doesn’t contain the massive stockpile, and I suspect those who haven’t been able to find the weapons/tanks have actually been playing that map.
November 1st, 2007 at 6:47 pm
Eschatos says:
Ah, there we go. The first time I hit the link for #4, and didn’t get weapon heaven. Still, the weapons there were, and the new vehicles are great. That helicopter is a killing machine, and easy to fly, though I still haven’t found out how to strafe with it.
November 1st, 2007 at 7:37 pm
Tom says:
deffo DL’d #5. those who can get it working in Vista, do you have 32 or 64bit…? wonder if that’s got anything to do with it?

Yeah I also got #5.
And I’m on Vista Ultimate x86.
November 1st, 2007 at 7:52 pm
Alex N says:
I had the same thing happen to me, Chris. I fired the TAC into the water and, lo and behold, it was a freakin nuke! I just sat there, jaw dropped for like 30 seconds before I turned around to use it on the mountain. I’m pretty sure that de-forestation in Crysis is one of the most awesome parts about it. Plus nuking small KPA villas from afar…it just doesn’t get better. This gets my vote for best demo ever. I’m also using the inf health and inf ammo codes on it to amp up the fun a bit. I wish I could find an inf energy code to really turn the game into Predator 3. XD

But NO! Must. Not. Play. Demo. ‘lest. I. Spoil. Retail. Game.

@Alex: Yeah, nuking the little KPA huts was great, so satisfying, haha. I can’t think of the last time I have ever been so surprised in a game as the moment I first fired the nuke tank though. I think my exact words were “Holy shit! WTF!! It’s a freaking nuke!”

End of Spoiler

@Thelps: Do it! Play the demo! Think of it as honing your skills now in preperation for the full game. I don’t think anything will be spoiled by playing the demo honestly. You’ll have a blast. This is one of the best demo’s ever, even without unlocking all the weapons and vehicles.

There are no weapons to be found!! what the hell
Yes, I got #5, yes, I even checked in the editor. >:(

JonRico says:
No idea if I can post without registering here – but the problems with people loading maps in Vista I think are just to do with paths.
The way these things normally work is that it looks inside the pak files inside a folder for the data. It looks in ANY AND ALL pak files. So if you have the original level.pak and the modified level.pak which one it loads is dependant on which one the filesystem reads first. This will be consistent on one machine (probably) but not necessarily the same order on different machines or operating systems.
So the solution (tested in Vista) is always to move the original pak somewhere else before running the game.
Please note that all of the above could suffer from being entirely incorrect! :)

Woa! The original demo was fun….(im kidding) took me three 3AM-6AM sessions to download the demo over my neighbors

Yeah, this mod is way too kewl–I am sure UBI (FarCry2) team is crapping their pants right about now; serves them right anyway since they have that shitty little forum where you just sit around and talk about nothing for 6 whole god damn months waiting for the game to be released. I thought about getting Call of Duty 4, but Crysis makes that game look 10 years old so for get it! I really enjoyed FC1 and can’t wait for some multiplayer mayhem with the new release. The only issue I have is upgrading when I thought I already had pretty decent rig with my 8800 vid card. I can’t run in HD withut a serious FPS loss so I am stuck in SD mode–Hell, I don’t even think todays hardware can make this game smoke! So it looks like the hardware peeps have their work cut out for them–get to work god damn it!

Many Thanks to STEVE and JONRICO. Found weapons at last like you said on beach to left of Radar Jamming m/c, but I had left a copy of the original pak file in the folder and although i had renamed it, it was ’still’ being picked up instead of the modded pak file. Even though i run a 9800pro with all low except for ‘mid’ textures the ‘nuke’ effect fired by a tank has to be one of the most amazing sights i have witnessed in all my years of gaming.

The nuke tank isn’t a spoiler, it’s how you end MP games. I’m 100% sure it’s not in the single player, as that a several other weapons are MP only, simply because the MP takes place after the invasion with some getto rigged alien tech.

I played the beta, and all of the weapons and viechles were in that, except for the helicopter and VTOL. Tac Launcher is a good weapon, remember to hold down fire to bring up a targetter to make sure it goes where you want it to.
do you get the MOAC and MOAR in the demofunmap? btw, the alien in the sky, is it a hunter, or just a normal alien thingy. cheers.
November 6th, 2007 at 1:52 pm
Lasher says:
p.s I think I’m gunna wait for the full game to come out, playing the beta pretty much burnt me out entirely of the multiplayer, and it took me 5 days to finish the demo purely beacause I couldn’t be fucked to play the game. Don’t get me wrong though, I love it, and I’ll relish the opportunity to show my console loving fanboy bitch friends what a real game looks/plays like, but I can’t be arsed with multiplayer, I’ve preordered the game, but apparently Fairlight will have the full version cracked and uploaded within a few days, So I’ll download it as soon as it appears.
but I’m still gunna buy it, beacause crytek have proven to me, twice both in the beta and in the demo thatn they’ve made something special and deserve to be paid for it.

Not working for me, it gives a Forbidden whatever method I use to copy that password in the text input box.
Does anyone have a mirror URL, or have it uploaded to something like megaupload?

Looks like I am the third person in this blog to encounter a black screen while loading. Annoyingly I can’t seem to check out this wonderful demo everyone is talking about. Don’t suppose anyone has any ideas on this? PS. Appears to be doing something as CPU is quite high and there are odd snippets of sound.

Damn thx for the heads up. I’m definitely taking another look at Crysis Demo (*before my game comes in the mail). The idea of stalking Koreans in a heli comes to mind ^^z

Ok, finally got rid of the dreaded black screen. Although my laptop has only just been released (XPS 1730) and Nvidia don’t have drivers on their site for the cards, they suggest you get them directly from Dell. Turns out that Dell has indeed released a new driver and guess what, it worked! Finally got to check out Crysis and I can confirm that it is a visual feast. I very much look forward to getting the full release.

can someone post a video of them actually going to the weapons place from the beginning? And maybe actually installing the mod? I’m totally lost…

GAH someone please help
I extracted level.pak to the island folder
backed up the original
started a new game on normal difficulty
The weird thing is, there are some changes to the game, like enemies spawning in different places and some enemies having a high powered rifle instead of the normal rifle…but no alien, and no extra island!
I don’t think I extracted it wrong, because there’s still SOME stuff…and I don’t think that I downloaded the wrong thing either.
Grr…nobody ever makes these instructions idiot-proof
sorry for triple post

I had my computer hard drive reformatted (no partitions) and placed XP on it. I have “Crysis” and tried to install but when it goes through the installation it tells me it can’t find Animations.pak file. I looked for it and found it. Why can’t it read it during installation ?
Any help would be appreciated. Peace
