Basic Map
Here's some things that can be gotten if you have a handle to the CXGame instance.
It's alias is often m_pGame .. this depends on where you trying to use it.


• m_pGame = Basics and some common things
• m_pGame->GetSystem( ) = ISystem
• m_pGame->GetSystem( )->GetAISystem( ) = IAISystem
• m_pGame->GetSystem( )->GetI3DEngine( ) = I3DEngine [play with the game engine. It'll be interesting, they said..]
• m_pGame->GetSystem( )->GetIMovieSystem( ) = IMovieSystem [cutscene stuff]
• m_pGame->GetSystem( )->GetIMusicSystem( ) = IMusicSystem
• m_pGame->GetSystem( )->GetIProfileSystem( ) = IFrameProfileSystem [not sure what you're gonna do with this one]
• m_pGame->GetSystem( )->GetIRenderer( ) = IRenderer [sometimes known locally as m_pRenderer. Fancy stuff]
• m_pGame->GetSystem( )->GetIScriptSystem( ) = IScriptSystem [execute script files, get and set global values, etc]
• m_pGame->GetSystem( )->GetISoundSystem( ) = ISoundSystem [play sounds, stop sounds. All sorts of cool sound stuff]

• And a million more things. Also check out other classes and objects. If you need to get a reference to a specific item, ask on the FarCry Labs Discord and we'll try to help.
Game HWND
Where m_pRenderer is an alias for the IRenderer: (HWND)m_pRenderer->GetHWND( ) There's other ways, but this is the one that CryTek provided. This HWND can be used for generic Win32 calls. Think creatively :)
FarOut
Game Title
This sets the game title, and should remain as long as the game continues running.
SetWindowText( HWND , "Far Cry - Another amazing Mod" ); Note: There's multiple ways to get the HWND of the game. Should be documented in FCDB as well

Add a Hud message
• This uses the m_pClient from CXGame.

m_pClient->AddHudMessage( "This message will appear in the hud." , 50.0f , false ); FarOut
Add a Hud subtitle
• This uses the m_pClient from CXGame.

m_pClient->AddHudSubtitle( "Subtitles from C++? Devious!" , 200.0f ); FarOut
Draw Line
• This uses the IRenderer.
• In this specific case, the IRenderer has an alias of m_pRenderer

m_pRenderer->Set2DMode( true , 800 , 600 );
m_pRenderer->Draw2dLine( 400 , 600 , 400 , 0 ); Common Knowledge
Draw Text
• This uses the IRenderer.
• In this specific case, the IRenderer has an alias of m_pRenderer

Basic and easy: m_pRenderer->Draw2dText( 100 , 250 , "This mod is epic!" , SDrawTextInfo( ) );
If you want more control, then use the following syntax: SDrawTextInfo TextProp;
TextProp.flags = 0; // Flags
TextProp.color[ 0 ] = 1; // R
TextProp.color[ 1 ] = 1; // G
TextProp.color[ 2 ] = 0; // B
TextProp.color[ 3 ] = 1; // A
TextProp.xfont = 0; // Specify a valid CXFont
m_pRenderer->Draw2dText( 100 , 250 , "This mod is epic!" , TextProp ); Note: There's additional options not documented here that may or may not work. There's a third and fancier method, but these should handle basic needs.

Dealing with trigonometry and angles
The trigonometry functions seem to use radians, so conversions must be performed.

Convert an angle from degrees to radian: DEG2RAD( ANGLE )
Convert an angle from radians to degree: RAD2DEG( ANGLE )
Common Knowledge
The Player
• This gets a reference to the single player character. Can be used to get player position, angles, etc. Also many other things.
• In this specific case, m_pGame is a reference to the CXGame instance
m_pGame->GetMyPlayer( )
• Get the player angles.
Vec3 Angles = m_pGame->GetMyPlayer( )->GetAngles( )
• Get the player rotation angle.
float Rotation = m_pGame->GetMyPlayer( )->GetAngles( ).z
• Get the player's position on the map. Then accessed such as: Pos.x, or Pos.y, or Pos.z
Vec3 Pos = m_pGame->GetMyPlayer( )->GetPos( )
• Set the player's position on the map. It's a simple way to teleport the player.
Vec3 Destination( 100 , 100 , 100 );
m_pGame->GetMyPlayer( )->SetPos( Destination , true ); FarOut | Common Knowledge
Logging
CryLogAlways( "%s" , "This message will show up inside log.txt" );
The first argument is the type of message. %s seems to work fine for strings.
