How to Remove / Removing Crysis Intro Movies

Posted by Spencer On December - 29 - 2007

The intro movies, the clips before crysis starts can be quite annoying to watch each time you play and load the game. Ive created a simple script that will allow you to remove and restore the crysis movies, for when you want to see them and don’t want to. The crysis intro movie script will allow you to remove crysis intro movies with a simple dialog box yes or no.
Download the script below.

Remove crysis intro movies Download HERE

Place this script in your crysis intro folder located at
“Drive:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Game\Localized\Video”

By default.

no intro dialog

Then run the script and thats it! Keep it for later to restore the movies if you need to.

Removing crysis intro movies is pretty simple! Enjoy playing Crysis with a faster half the load up time!

A couple of days ago i had modified the crysis server config file ( cfg)

So i am going to show you “how to currently setup a crysis dedicated server and play on a crysis dedicated server” with modifications such as low gravity, even no gravity, how to allow your players to hold and carry all crysis weapons, increase the nano speed, turn auto turrets off, and other sorts of things that will be fun to play with.

crysis dedicated server

Setting Up Your Server Config File

By default in “Drive:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Game\Config” create a file named autoexec.cfg and another file called server.cfg

Add all the commands you need such as

p_gravity_z 0

Or download my crysis server config.

then save it in the config directory from above.

Once that has been achieved you can then go-to “Drive:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin32″ and run CrysisDedicatedServer.exe and your server will be hosted with the current settings in autoexec.cfg except for any settings like low gravity, or any settings in your server.cfg, so execute your server.cfg by typing in crysis server console “exec server.cfg” (highlighted in green on the image above).

Running low gravity and joining the server

Hosting and playing on a dedicated server means that you will have to enable developer mode, which will also enable god mode commands etc to work, but there maybe a command in crysis to disable them too, check out the crysis commands list tosee a full list of commands.

1. Setup the server config as above

2. run CrysisDedicatedServer.exe -DEVMODE , to do this download this file “developer server” and place it in your “Drive:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin32″ folder then double click it to run. (as shown on the image above)

3. Do the same with the client file Crysis.exe -DEVMODE, to do this download this file “developer client” and place it in your “Drive:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin32″ folder then double click it to run.

If you wish to join your own server I’ve noticed you must run the client first the Crysis server.

4. Join your server either by typing in your server IP or locating it on the server list, other people will not be able to join your server if they are not running the game in DEVMODE.

Note: when in game to disable all the information on the screen open console and type: “r_Displayinfo 0″

Have fun running in DEVMODE don’t forget to try out all the nano suit commands gravity and the no weapon limit!

Review for xbox 360 Intercooler Hardware

Posted by James On December - 21 - 2007

Right some of you that are viewing my post may be wondering what the xbox 360 intercooler actually is or maybe even just to see what I think of it before you purchase your own (if you are thinking this then please hold fire until you read what I have to say).

Firstly the xbox 360 intercooler is a piece of xbox 360 hardware that is supposed to COOL down the components inside your xbox 360 console. This hardware simply plugs into the back of your xbox 360 console and the power lead plugs into the back of it.

Please see my illustrations to show this:

At this point in time you are most probably thinking:

“right the intercooler plugs into my xbox 360 console and doesn’t look bad and also helps the components keep cool so I can play games like Gears of War and Halo 3 for longer. What is this kid talking about!”

If you are thinking the above then you are so wrong.

Yes it sounds great but the bottom line is, that the intercooler doesn’t help your xbox 360 it actually breaks it!!

This piece of hardware is one of the main reasons alot of people get the xbox 360 dreaded red ring of death. Trust me I know this from experience as it has happened to me. If you don’t know what the xbox 360 red ring of death is then please see the below image and I would like to add that I really hope it does not happen to you.

When you get the ring of death it is one of the worst feelings ever as this means your xbox 360 console is completely broken and you need a new one!

Don’t get me wrong I am not saying that every intercooler is bad but I know of many people who have had the same problem as me.

After all the trouble this hardware has given me and many others I can safely say do not buy one and save your money!

My user rating for this hardware is 2/10.

 

 

Crysis Console Commands, Changing your Crysis crosshair

Posted by Spencer On December - 18 - 2007

This ones for all you Crysis fans Wink!

Yesterday i was playing crysis and trying out some of the console commands and I’ve found some useful commands such as changing the crosshair in game, and low gravity etc. Just to play and for fun really.

Okay , So first i was looking about the internet for a list of crysis commands to try out, i found a very nice command list! If you want to download it you can below. Sorry i forgot the site where i found it, so i can’t give out credit, but it was in Google not to far from the first page for ‘crysis commands‘ so it shouldn’t be hard to find.

crysis commands list DOWNLOAD HERE

I saw the command “hud_crosshair” (0-8) and thought I would give it a go, so while in game i opened up console and typed in “hud_crosshair 9″ and i got a different crosshair from the ones you can normally select in the options menu, after that i tried a few numbers 8+ and found you can set your crosshair to 13 different ones not just the standard 1 to 8 you get in options.

So if you want to change your crosshair whilst playing in crysis do the following,

  1. Enter a game ( multiplayer or single player)
  2. Open the crysis console
  3. type in “con_restricted 0″
  4. then type “hud_crosshair 9″ or the number of the crosshair you want

Here’s a small image of the full 13 crysis crosshairs and their code’s 8 = no crosshair
Crysis Crosshairs and command codes

Gravity

Changing crysis gravity using the p_gravity_z command.
In Crysis/Game/Config/ if you create a file called autoexec.cfg

add the lines:

con_restricted 0

p_gravity_z -5

Then load up the sandbox editor and enter to play a map.

The default is ‘-9.8′ so ‘-5′ should give you a feel of lower gravity.

Server Fun and Commands

So far I’ve not been able to get a server with low gravity(updated: How to play on a crysis modded server , low gravity etc), but there are many other commands for server like increase in the nano speed which is pretty fun, and also suit energy regeneration time can be changed.

A few commands that you might want to put in your server autoexec.cfg or server.cfg are:

“g_suitSpeedMultMultiplayer 5″ this changes the nano speed on the multiplayer server

“g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTimeMultiplayer 40″ faster recharge of the nano / energy suit.

“g_meleeWhileSprinting 1″ either 1 or 0 to melee while at full nano speed.

“hud_mpNamesDuration 8″ how long you want to display the multiplayer names for default is 2

Theres tons more just check out the crysis commands list have a look at what might make the game a bit more fun, or just to adjust it!

I would like to see more severs with different settings, same old settings can get boring!

Thats all for now, and was just thinking there must be a way to make your own crysis crosshairs somewhere.
