Introduction
I'll present you:
An interactive map that shows you all Ressoruce-Items, all Chaos Items, all Colonel, all Fraction-Items and all Brides for bridge limbo.
This tool is able to load a savegame and can show you all things that you don't have found/destroyed/limbo'ed.
This tool uses some files from a similar tool ("JC2-Map-Viewer" *1)
In words: All Map-images, all files in items/ and the files in icons/ are derived from the original Icons/chaos_item.png

Beyond that JC2Viewer has some advantages over JC2 Map Viewer:
* Faster rendering
* Faster refreshing data
* Press F5 to reload a savegame
* Zoom up to 1px=1m
* Sam Sites, bridges and fraction-Items have their own color.
* View Modes: Found items, missing items, all item and mone items.
* Does not require any further runtime to run (A Small exception: The Win32 build perhaps needs the VC2010 Runtime installed). All libs that are needed to run are there.

How to use
When you start JC2 Viewer you can see 2 sides:
  • Left side: Can switch visiblle items and load savegame
  • Right side: The Mapview

First we have a llok at the left side:
  • The "Load savegame" button loads a Just Cause 2 Savegame. (PC-Version only!)
  • The "Reaload savegame" button loads the last opend file again
  • Under show you can choose the view mode:
    • Missing: All items that are not found are displayed on the mapview
    • Found: All items that are found are displayed o the mapview
    • All: All items are displayed on the mapview
    • none: No items are displayed on the mapview
    Note: Missing and Found does only work, if you have loaded a savegame.
  • Below of the viewmodes you can select/deselct some groups. Here you can filter the shown items on the mapview. Right of the name of each group you may see one or two numbers.
    The most right number (or the only number, if no savegame is loaded) shows the total count of items in that group. The other (if shown) shows the number of found items in that group
  • At the buttom there are two helper button: "Hide all" deselects all groups.
    "Show all" selects all groups.

No we have a look at the right side:
  • You can zoom with your mouse-wheel.
  • You can scroll the map as you know from maps.google.com
  • Hover over an icon to see whats there
Some advises
JC2Viewer opens savegames as readonly. So it does not write on the savegame. But still i want to give you some advises to keep your savegames:
  • Make backups of your savegames
  • Never load or reload a savegame that Just Cause 2 is currently written.
Changelog
17.6.2013
  • Added Win32 Binary
  • Some kind of progress-bar for each item-type

Thanks for the awesome tool, but for some reason I'm stuck at 174/175 bridge limbos and the last one shown is at X: 10702 and Y: 24068. Am I missing something? Tried flying under it like 10 times already and it doesn't register.}

Perhaps take a picture of the particular bridge, I’ve completed all of them some time ago, maybe I can help.

Not as far as i now, but JS3 helps you directly in-game: When you have destroed enough stuff on a base or city, the map, will show you more things to destroy on that base/city

hey man cant believe this thread is still active, wanted to say thank you for providing files to run it on linux
and just as a heads up yo7 might want to remove the just cause 2 mods com link from here since it now seems to redirect to some prn or gambling site
