How To Use The LRv3 Server Mod On Your Far Cry Server

LRv3 is the community add-on that brought Far Cry's online play back after Ubisoft shut down its service, and most Far Cry players online use it. The LRv3 Server Mod lists your server on the LRv3 server list and adds anti-cheat, an in-game admin panel, automatic map downloads for players and the Capture the Flag, Capture and Hold and Capture the Transmission Base game types. It's off by default.

Note

With LRv3 on, players need the LRv3 add-on to join. See connecting to your server.

Turning LRv3 On Or Off

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Modding, enable or disable LRv3 Server Mod.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Turning LRv3 off puts Far Cry's own files back, and your LRv3 settings stay for the next time you turn it on.

Listing Your Server On The LRv3 Server List

Your server registers itself on the LRv3 list with an LRv3 account. You can create one for free in the game: start Far Cry with LRv3, go to Multiplayer > Internet (LR) and click Create Account.

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Modding, enter your account's username in LRv3 Username and its password in LRv3 Password.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

If your server doesn't show up in the list, the LRv3 team at farcrylraddon.de can check your account.

Changing LRv3 Settings

LRv3 has many more settings, such as team balance, team-kill punishment and weapon settings, in its own config file, lr_server.cfg. The files next to it hold LRv3's admin list (Admins.txt) and chat filters (BadWords.txt and BadNames.txt).

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files and open the Profiles folder, then the server folder.
  3. 3
    Open lr_server.cfg and change the settings you want. Each line explains its setting.
  4. 4
    Start your server.

Note

The settings on the Bropanel Settings page, such as the server name, passwords, player limit, game type and map cycle, always replace the same settings in lr_server.cfg. Change those in Settings instead.
