Great Job Chocko!  It's good to see you get this released!  This should be great for Campaign play.  You should also be able to use it to play coop by yourself on your own server.  If you try to play coop with other players though the game will crash.  Brettzie only had two open slots for attachments and the kits you put in with the SnowFella weapons cause the attachments to exceed the limit of 31.

Cheers,

Jesus, please refer to the README file 'README_Weapon_Masters_v1.0.txt'.

The 'Weapon_Masters' folder should go into the 'Local' sub-directory not into 'mods'.

Then put 'weapon_masters.bat' and 'context_weapon_masters.xml' into the main

game directory, usually called 'Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2'.

Then just run the game using 'weapon_masters.bat'.

jamie: You can only run one weapon mod, but you don't have to remove it completely.  If you've installed Brettzies v3.02 in local/English (or whatever language you use), you may need to rename  "English" to something else (I usually just put an 'X' in front e.g. "XEnglish").  Since Weapon Masters uses its own batch file and context XML file, you may not even have to do the renaming, but you definitely can't have both running in-game at the same time.

cleaner: I created the mod for SP Campaign mode, so anything beyond that is gravy.  When you say you created a dedicated server, it was on a separate PC from the one you were trying to play from, right?  If that is the case, you may need to edit context-standalone.xml and change the 'language' attribute from "english" to "Weapon_Masters".  If that doesn't help, you should post the question in the forums to tap the brains of more experienced MP players.

Great Mod,

it where great, if the mod comes for GRAW 1 too

^ sorry to bug you, im new at this kinda stuff, i did what was in the readme file for instructions, and this comes up every time? can i fix thid? if so how?  id be happy lol thanks

@Seam: I don't see why not, but I don't have a Steam version to test on.  Try a web search for something like "Steam running GRAW2 mods" if you are having trouble getting it going.

@billy sink:  Do you have your game patched to v1.05?

Tim:

Some things to check:

1. Your game is patched to v1.05

2.  The files context_weapon_masters.xml and weapon_masters.bat are in the main installation directory which is where graw2.exe should be located.

3. In the 'Local' sub-directory of that same location should be the mods sub-dir called 'Weapon_Masters'.

4. You're starting your game with weapon_masters.bat

If all those things are true, then once you try running the batch file and the game doesn't start, find the separate location where your saved games are stored, check the 'GRAW2' base for the file 'crashlog.txt' and see if the log has a meaningful error message.  For my Win7 install, this location is:

C:\Users\Chocko\AppData\Local\GRAW2

Tim:

I had trouble, as well.

Eventually, followed the main instructions and added three more (which kinda work around what the BAT file does):

 1) Put a COPY of context_Weapon_Masters.xml into the main GRAW directory, right where you'll find the original Context.xml file.

2) Rename the original context.xml file to ContextOLD.xml

3) Rename the copy of the file in step 1 to context.xml

(To uninstall, reverse the steps above)

Brettzie?  You still around?

I don't want to seem ungrateful (but I'm sure this will) but I got addicted to the Leupold Scope attached to the M16A4 that you added for GRAW1.  Is it a pain in the @$$ to add that beauty to the M16A4 for GRAW2?

 It would be great to have the FN-FAL back, as well.  I fell in love with that hardware in real life.

Anyway, thatnks Brettzie, Chocko, and Snowfella, for the great additions!

Oy...no responses to my two previous posts; hopefully someone will read and respond to this one:

Where can I find copies of the weapon files for the M32?  It seems to be part of the original weapon collection, not the Mod Pack, but I don't see a way to access the original weapon files.I suspet they're on the CD-ROM, but I don't know which file has them or how to extract just the set I need.

I want to try making the M32 into either a secondary or side-arm weapon.  Any advice?

And, of course, thanks Brettzie, Chocko, and Snowfella for your prior work on this stuff.

Snakehead:  This type of question would be better placed in the Weapons Modding section rather than in Downloads, but the short of it is, you'll need the 'quick.bundle' file from the CD along with a bundle extractor in order to get at the files.  Then it's a matter of searching through XML text files for references to the M32.

Good luck.

-Chocko

BBoySpec: This was made with Brettzies v3.0 mod.  The OTS version of his mod is a separate entity and would require its own version of this mod.   I'll have to leave that to someone else to do.

jagadeesh:  You'll probably get more responses to a question like this in the forums rather than in the comments of an unrelated weapons mod.
