Updates

It’s been over a month since Just Cause 3 modding began to take off, and ever since then we’ve been working tirelessly to improve every aspect of our modding resource. We’ve made tons of changes here and there to improve functionality and make the tools we’ve built more user-friendly and reliable. Hopefully you’ve noticed a significant improvement in the speed department, too – we’ve upgraded our hardware to cater to the massive influx of modders and players that we were certainly not expecting so soon. Following these upgrades we’ve taken to improving functionality by finishing the long-awaited private messaging system for the forums and adding a new “Images” section to the site where you can share screenshots of your modding experience with the community and rate/comment on images uploaded by other users. We’re working on tying this feature to the mod repository to encourage users to share photos they’ve taken and promote those images via the mod’s page. We’ve also introduced a new subnav for the forums and are on the verge of pushing some new features for the forums that we know you will love.

This morning, due to some unforeseen security-related complications, we had to perform a small backup which has resulted in the loss of two mods and a number of forum posts. We apologize for this. We’re working on tightening security so we won’t encounter issues like this again.

After the saddening announcement that Just Cause 3 would lack an official multiplayer component, the development of a fan-made mod to fill that gap was inevitable, but only the JC-MP guys could possibly have pulled it off this quickly. In less than a month, the team behind the famed Just Cause 2 Multiplayer mod, which saw an official release on Steam in 2013, has already completed and demonstrated a working build for their upcoming multiplayer mod for Just Cause 3. The video, which depicts impressive vehicle synchronization progress, was a welcome New Years surprise for Just Cause fans and developers alike. With today’s upload of the all-new Infinite Grapple Range mod to our own database from modder Qub1 along with the FoV Patcher by none other than JC-MP lead developer Trix, it’s looking like 2016 will be an exciting year for Just Cause 3 modding. As with Just Cause 2, the JC-MP team’s work is not affiliated with our database in any way and will likely be hosted on their website.

Modding tools for Just Cause 3 aren’t out yet, but we already have a selection of simple mods available. For these you can thank Rick, also known as Gibbed. Rick is the reason for almost every Just Cause 2 mod you’ve ever played; mods that inspired many of Just Cause 3’s flagship features would never have existed were it not for for his efforts to develop a toolset for the second game. This toolset has allowed thousands of Just Cause fans to break into the code and get creative, which resulted in the fantastic Just Cause 2 mods library that we’ve hosted for over five years. Now that we’re working a bit more closely with Rick, an interview to help the Just Cause modding community learn more about the modder who’s ultimately responsible for the chaotic modding community seems like a natural step.

This interview was conducted by Zenin/Draconio and features Rick (Gibbed).
