Yes I do try this,:

Find the the DevMode.lua file in your Far Cry directory - move & save a copy of the original & put it somewhere safe like : My Documents as: FC1 - O Dev or something similar. Ues Administor option to give your permission to move,or save , edit the files in the properties menu of your FC Desktop icon, under the compatibility tag - right at the bottom., tick the box.

Now, since you copied the file, there should still be one left in your FC directory so copy and paste into THIS FILE the following text::

Lastly, right click on your FC desktop icon to change the target line of it , via properties, to read exactly like this, providing you made your install here:

"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Crytek\Far Cry\Bin32\FarCry.exe" -devmode

Otherwise the line can be altered to suit where you installed your game to. For example,
if you've bought & downloaded the GOG.com version of Far Cry then your desk top icons target line should now look like this:

"C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Far Cry\Bin32\FarCry.exe" -devmode

Well, that's it except , if you press the letter O in game it gives you ammo, while pressing the letter p in game gives you all weapons. Hope this helps! :)

To enable god mode hit : BACKSPACE when in game.

Now start the game & enjoy! :)

Let me know if this works for you &/or if you need any further assistance.

Ubergurl1 - Thank you very much for your thoughtful and thorough advice. Your primer was just what I needed!

That's great - I'm so glad I could help & you're most welcome mate.

btw: if you haven't figured it out already, then press F3 in game to activate fly mode. Be aware though that sometimes it can cause problems later on & that it also give the mercs & monsters flying capabilities too. But it sure does make the game a lot more fun, especially for sniping from high & hidden places. Be careful not to stray too far though or the unkillable chopper will come out of nowhere.

Hey vespers, have you tried the following mods yet?

contest island invasion
the suvivor update
outpost 22
farmer jack 1 & 2
massive attack (latest Version)
di-tower
ascent
crazy beach

give them a go & let me know how you go, any probs with running or installing any of them let me know. Keep in mind though that some mods for Far Cry 1 don't allow God Mode, which makes it more of a challenge to finish them yes, but not entirely impossible either mate. :)

I tried everything and f3 it doesn't work at all. >:(

I've had such trouble with DevMode.lua's. I got the Far Cry game from GOG with it's included DevMode.lua and the god mode backspace key did not work. the o and p keys worked for ammo and weapons. I copy and pasted this one here into a new Devmode.lua and everything worked fine. I tried one from IGN that supposedly added some stuff and it cheats didn't work at all. And yes all were started in game with -devmode. I loaded a FCam mod and the cheats didn't work with that one either. Seems like these devmode.lua's are hit or miss. At least the ones I tried were.

If you want save and load ant time, you can.
Use ~ write: \save_game savename
\load_game savename

so can anyone translate this into english for those of us that dont speak code? :(

Bummer. This does not work.
I have GOG 1.4 with FCAM as a mod, copied this to Notepad and saved as Devmode.lua, placed it in the proper FC folder (with bin32, etc), and nothing.

Sadly this also does NOT work for me. Win10 64bit, FC 1.4, -devmode on the launch icon, blah blah blah.......nothing works.

nothing has every worked for me either on W-10 64 bit. Did you ever figure it out ?

Nope. Never got them to work at all.

Same as me, Win 11, widescreen fix community patch.

I want to bump this thread

I've tried every fix I can find online and absolutely nothing seems to work. The console commands to skip levels work but god mode (the only one I'm interested in) and anything else with devmode doesn't work

I am getting killed so much the game is nearly unplayable for me. Yes, I'm playing it on easy...
