Download Mirrors
We provide two Crysis Wars EX install methods. The first one is an installer; we moreover recommend players to use this installer version. The installer will lead you through the full installation process, and will place a shortcut on your desktop to start Crysis Wars EX.
The second method is a simple .zip archive that should be used by Server Administrators to upgrade their servers to Crysis Wars EX. Just copy the complete “Mods” folder to your Crysis Wars main folder. A more detailed description can be found on our homepage.
Meet the OMG! Team: c4Te
Welcome in the “Meet the OMG Team” section where we will introduce you to the different members of the Online Modding Group. It is always exciting to know more about the people that work on something you play and therefore we thought it might be a good addition to our regular updates. This week we will introduce you to c4Te, Lead Project Manager of Crysis Wars EX.

| Greetings, My name is Sven Metzger, I am 21 years old and I am the Lead Project Manager of Crysis Wars EX. I am currently doing an apprenticeship at Crytek that I hope to finish in the next year. After leaving the Crysis Wars development team I started thinking of a new project that might be connected to Crysis Wars. Because of that I started four months ago with several people from the community the Online Modding Group. We had a dream and we worked hard to realize it. The first version is done but we still have tons of ideas and things we want to do like new game modes and many more improvements to the game but you will read more about that in the upcoming weeks. I want to thank my team and especially r4rgh and TBD. Those guys are always there if you need help and I really enjoy working with them. Therefore I say thanks and hope that you all enjoy Crysis Wars EX (and if not at least try it out and give it a chance). |
Crysis Wars EX – Play the Devs
Playing with the people who worked on such a project is a good way express your wishes and/or thank the team for their work! We therefore announce the first community event planned by our Community Managers: Kolga & Crysis2142.
Play the Crysis Wars EX developers on Saturday, July 18th. Ask us anything about the mod, and provide direct feedback to the developers. The event will start at 9PM CEST (Central European Standard Time).
More information on this event will announced on Friday 17th on the Crysis Wars EX Homepage.

First
What I like
Added a server-side option to enable/disable Crysis 1 Wall Jump feature. [ Horray! ]
Added a server-side option to enable/disable Simple Target Name feature. [ don't know what's that exactly, but sounds good]
Added High Ping kick option for server administrators. [ hope it doesn't kick ping "spikes".]
[FIXED] issue with laser dot not being visible on all surfaces.
FY-71 modified to finally be a viable alternative to the SCAR.[ How Exactly ? ]
Halved the maximum speed of the Light TAC Tank for small maps. [ is it still faster than the Heavy TAC ? it shoud be ]
Re-balanced the Hurricane to make it more effective as a defending siege weapon. [ sounds good, can't wait to try it ]
Added new Power Struggle Map "Deadend". [ new maps are always welcomed ]
________________________________________________
really appreciate all the work you did here, haven't tried it yet. but for now I see you didn't add anything annoying nor changed anything we love, that's a god start for any mod/patch. well done.
I just hope you're not planning to make the LAM (Laser) useless !!
also it would be nice to add the option to disable/enable VisualHitIndicator

THEN DO NOT USE THE INSTALLER BUT THE NORMAL ZIP VERSION.
It is that easy. Btw we mentioned that in the news.

I have a question
I was using this line in my autoexec.cfg file : "bind f10 ConsoleShow" because my console was not showing.
Did you changed this command? Because my console isn't showing again, as if the bind was not working

Harm
Question: Will it harm Wars when I install it. In other words: Does Wars itself stays original or does it overwrite several files resulting in unable to play in normal mode?

mod info/installation
you can still play wars as normal, and when you want to play Wars EX you do the following:
if you are already in the game, open the mods tab and you find it there
if you are not in the game, click the shortcut created by the installer
it does NOT replace your files, and you can safely uninstall it from "Control Panel" while keeping the game.
enjoy

News Update for Crysis Wars EX 1.0.1
Crysis Wars EX 1.0 was released just some days ago and we got good feedback from the community. [...] Therefore we decided to work on a first patch instead of an update to fix the current issues before we implement new features.[...]
The patch will be released within two weeks and we will address your main concerns (FY-71, Claymores, HighPingKick, RestrictedGraphics...).
- Online Modding Group
Check the full story here: http://crysis-wars-ex.com/

Yes please take away the restricted graphics option (ESL is crazy for this) and fix the LAM's advantage. Everything else I don't care, it's perfect lol

One thing that Peaves me is the Vehicles abandon timer!
The Timer Should let U leave the vehicle run 20 yards, capture spawn and then have time to run 20 yards and get back into your vehicle before it BLOWS!
All CP should make U have to get out of your vehicle to cap,
there will be more of this with Community maps!
I know you can fix it to Custom Map, but the overall game should be fixed, IMO

Added a server-side option to enable/disable Simple Target Name feature.
Think it show enemy name if you aim at him for a second or something
|
|
17.07.2009
|
|
yes exactly and once shown the name will be shown as long as you aim on him. If you not aim on him anymore the name is shown for 1 second and then disappears

*Also, don't block out the console usage of so many basic commands. You (the OMG! team) never disclosed what commands are blocked. I can't even load my cfg right so please address and fix.
*The Simple Target Name feature is silly/noob-ish. Crysis Wars is already bad enough by letting you see someone's name after you shoot them, even when they duck behind a wall so please address and fix.

Mostly good.
But.
Bring back the rain on Refinery! It's the main reason why I play that level, because there are no other good rainy maps!

Can't anyone make a patch to fix this game's problems without destroying other things and without adding new problems 
get rid of that Scope !! we are the ones who are supposed to play the game, not you.
