Just cause 2 multiplayer mod

I drive around it…

Spawning a car, I slowly make my way around the twisty first section. This is harder than it looks. Guard rails are not a priority of the server’s community, and neither is quality build construction. Regularly, as two segments meet, an imbalance will cause the car to flip off the edge of the track. Eventually, I pass the first few winding corners. This is where things get interesting.

The road stops being a road, and becomes a series of wide warehouses, buildings and bridges. At every spawned building, I expect the «track» to suddenly stop, sending me flying into the ground below. My fears are unfounded. There are plenty of steep ramps to navigate, but they’ve seemingly been placed to show off the island’s spectacular views.

As I drive through a section filled with cherry blossoms and overlapping buildings, I start to contemplate the beauty at work inside of the random chaos…

Clearly, I’m starting to lose my mind. Not to worry, though, because the track ends with a fun jump that sends me crashing into the club’s new castle extension. Video games!

Sanctuary

It’s called Sanctuary, and it’s beautiful . It’s also something of a secret. It’s not listed on the teleportation command list, and has been placed so high in the atmosphere that planes can’t reach it. I found it completely by chance, as I followed the trail of debris leading skyward from the airport. I made it just close enough to make out the /TP tag, and from there could warp up with ease.

The full structure is a coiling spring of rock, topped with cherry blossom, a few buildings, a statue and a hot-air balloon. Despite the rock placement making it hard to navigate, it feels far more authored than the insanity below.

And as for the views…

This is where my journey ends, but there’s so much more to see. Weird things are hidden all around the server, from the popular spawns, to a player’s private sanctuary. If you own Just Cause 2, you can explore it all with ease. Just download the free Just Cause 2: Multiplayer Mod from Steam, and, in the server browser, connect to Jman 100’s Freeroam Construction Sandbox. It’s highlighted at the moment, making it easy to find, but if you’d prefer to connect directly, the address is 192.95.54.0:7777.

As for me, there’s really only one thing left to do.

Differences from the full game

It should be noted that JC2 multiplayer sacrifices Just Cause 2’s sense of progression and features an «everything is unlocked from the beginning» type of gameplay experience on many servers. However, a sense of progression once existed to a limited extent through a currency system that was implemented during the . Today progression exists primarily in roleplay and survival servers. The concept of introducing parts of the game to players all at once is a steep contrast to those upheld in the base game, which saw players being introduced to various gameplay elements incrementally rather than all at once.

On some systems, the borderless window is slightly higher than it is supposed to be, making some of the top get cut off, and some of the bottom allow you to see the taskbar.

Miscellaneous Madness

I start flitting between the lesser visited spawns, to see what people have made in relative isolation. At the temple, I find another road network. It leads to some crates on top of a balloon, itself on top of a tower. Nice.

Elsewhere, there’s a boat inside of a hotel. Cute.

A thing inside of a thing? Er…

It’s around the time I reach «more things around some stuff» that I realise I’ve lost that initial amazement at the spectacle. I’ve become desensitised to the randomness. At each spawn, someone has inevitably placed something, but I can’t see the purpose. Even the beautiful and chaotic ship graveyard barely raises a smile.

This is no good. I need something amazing; something built with care and attention to detail. I need to find this server’s show-stopper construction.

Yeah, that’ll do nicely.

Essential improvements[edit]

Make 100% Completion Possibleedit

Because of two unpatched bugs, no more than 99.96% completion can be attained in the vanilla game. One of the 221 water towers does not actually exist, and the final optional sidequest — no matter which one it happens to be — does not reward the usual 3 Weapon and 3 Vehicle parts.
Use the 100% Completion mod
  1. Place and (from the 100% mod), as well as and (from the WLS mod) into .
  2. The next time you load the game, the missing water tower should now be in the correct position in Panau (X:18111, Y:15326), and the six missing boxes should be near the tower’s base.

Bullseye Rifle Fixedit

This mod fixes a couple of annoying issues with the Bullseye Rifle, like using improper ammo type, lack of possibility to zoom with scope and more.
Installation
  1. Place and into .

Hacking and trolls

As with most multiplayer games, there have been a number of cases of people finding ways to bring mods and hacks into the game, to provide themselves with unfair advantages in combat.

In a few cases some players have reportedly gotten confused by the use of DLC weapons and vehicles that they have misidentified as hacking. People who don’t have a specific DLC might not even see the DLC item when it’s used, so for example if one player has the Agency Hovercraft and drives it around, another player who doesn’t have it might just see them as operating an invisible vehicle.

In any case, if an actual case of hacking is discovered, it is rumored that they end up with «VAC bans» on Steam.

Vision

A game developer in reply to a post questioning the implementation of teleportation: «Because people blowing each other up or driving cars into each other, rather than spending most of their time driving to their destination, tests way more features, is more likely to cause crashes and stresses the server.»

The developers’ primary concern has always been testing new possibilities and moving from one stage of development to the next. The beta testing stage was strictly intended to collect feedback for the developers to use as new versions of the mod were produced, and though one might argue that the beginning, middle, end, or the entirety of the testing stage was superior to the final «product», the point remains that the testing stage was intended to help move the mod closer to its eventual release. Presently, the developers intend to continue adding features, though the process of doing so has changed as the mod has been released.

Skyroads

Not everything is a randomly placed mess of Dadaist geometry. The server’s construction menu contains the majority of the game’s assets, and lets players place, move and rotate them anywhere. Through these simple tools, some players have attempted ambitious, but crudely realised projects. Just next to the airport, someone has built an assault course of slanted buildings and curved helipads.

On the other side, above the airport’s main building, is this:

From the ground, it’s another bizarre assortment of crap. That’s because the creators of Just Cause 2 never expected their players to see roads from below, and so their underside is transparent.

Viewed from above, it’s… well, it’s still a bizarre assortment of crap, but one shaped into a small hamlet of buildings and tarmac.

It even has its own villagers.

All across the server, it’s the roads that provide some of the most fascinating expressions of creativity. They’ll criss-cross, double-back, and ramp up and down. Sometimes they’ll connect locations; more often they’ll end in a long, deadly jump.

Airport

I start my journey in the island’s main airport, which doubles as the mod’s main PvP arena. Given its popularity with players, it was inevitable that their creative efforts would take root here. Finding a spot on the tarmac, I enter construction mode by typing /BUILD.

This…

Turns into this…

Buildings are scattered randomly throughout the terminal, on top and often inside of each other. The air is filled with boats, buildings and tree trunks, and in the distance, a segment of road points straight into the air.

Boats are a favoured feature of the Freeroam Construction Server. Over the course of my exploration, I see them suspended in the sky, embedded in the ground, and absent from the sea.

Сюжетная линия

Ваш герой возвращается на один тропический остров, где скрылся его бывший работодатель, забрав с собой хорошую сумму денег. Вы не можете с этим смириться, поэтому отправляетесь на остров в поисках такого злобного и трусливого предателя, и обнаруживаете, что к власти там пришел новый узурпатор и тиран. И теперь лихие разборки снова начинаются. Вы сможете перемещаться на новом транспорте. Вы сможете под водой находить новые предметы. Если не хотите участвовать в разборках, можно просто сначала заняться исследованием острова, а потом уже начать настоящую охоту на врагов. Как всегда вы увидите в игре много разрушений. Все это благодаря установленному в игре новому физическому игровому движку. Теперь вы сможете подниматься в воздухе на огромную высоту и парить на своем необычном костюме с прикрепленными крыльями. Все это как всегда выглядит эффектно и эффективно. Вы будете бороздить локации острова и обязательно должны выполнить семь основных игровых миссий, чтобы открыть доступ к побочным квестам.

Summary

While JC2 multiplayer is technically a mod, it’s less of a modification and more of a face-lift of the entire game. The mod removes the base game’s artificial intelligence and story elements, leaving only the island itself. However, objects from the game’s files including vehicles, character models, weapons, effects, and dynamic audio can be spawned in to the game world at will. This leads to the creation of scripts by server owners who are able to put these objects to use. The vast majority of servers feature the classic freeroam script, which very basic by itself, though things like vehicle/player spawns can be added to the server’s scripts folder to make the freeroam experience feel more like the one featured in the testing stage of development.

Mile High Club

The next stop is Panau’s infamous Mile High Club, the opulent party zone that’s floating in the sky. It’s been redecorated since I was last here. A stack of ornate brick towers have been balanced on its top blimp. Also, it has a top blimp.

Investigating this new addition, I inadvertently interrupt a naked aerobics class.

As with the airport, the surrounding area is filled with boats. They scatter the landscape like shoals of metallic sky whales, exuding an eerily confidence in their unlikely suspension.

The Mile High Club’s centrepiece is a more ambitious construction. It’s another sky road, but, unlike the airport’s disparate system of dead ends, this is a full track that loops around and over itself like an ancient Scalextric.

I endeavour to drive around it.

Current situation

Quote from the official site: «It’s finally out! Check out the links above and get yourself ready to go. There will be several servers running at launch, and the number of servers will only go up! Each server will have a unique experience specific to that server; simply join and you can be trying out something entirely different. Thanks for staying with us — we hope you’ll enjoy JC2-MP 0.1.0. 🙂«.

The latest version is 0.3.1 (Build 1390)

The same development team has started work on Just Cause 3 Multiplayer but later canceled their plans due to lead programmer Trix being hired by Avalanche Studios to bring multiplayer experiences to other games developed by the studio, and due to the time constraints which arose from that.
