FC2Editor-Refactored

This repository contains a fully refactored, compilable C# source code project for the Far Cry 2 Map Editor. The original application was decompiled using ILSpy and has been meticulously reorganized into a clean, maintainable, and editable Visual Studio solution targeting the .NET 2.0 Framework.

The primary goal of this project is to provide a stable source code base for the Far Cry 2 modding community, enabling developers to learn from, debug, and extend the original editor's capabilities.

Project Status

• Fully Compilable: The project builds without errors in Visual Studio.
• Fully Runnable: The application launches and is functional.
• Refactored: Decompiler artifacts have been cleaned, and the code has been organized into a logical folder structure.
• Dependencies Managed: All required native game DLLs are handled by the project for automatic copying on build.

Features

• Complete source code for all editor forms, UI controls, and logic.
• P/Invoke wrappers for interacting with the native Dunia.dll game engine.
• Full implementation of all terrain editing, object placement, and map property tools.
• A working project structure that can be easily opened and built in modern versions of Visual Studio.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

1. Visual Studio: A version that supports .NET Framework 2.0 development (VS 2010 or newer recommended).
2. Far Cry 2: A legitimate copy of the game is required to obtain the necessary engine DLLs.
3. .NET Framework 2.0: Ensure the runtime is installed on your machine.

Project Goals & Future Work

This project provides a foundation for many exciting possibilities:

• Adding Custom Content: Investigating how to add new models, textures, and objects to the editor's library.
• Improving UI/UX: Modernizing the user interface for better usability.
• New Tools: Developing new terrain or object placement tools to enhance the mapping workflow.
• Engine Exploration: Using this C# host application as a tool to further reverse-engineer the Dunia engine.
