To use this mod you must have both Ghost Recon AND The Sum of All Fears installed. This file will not work otherwise. When both games are installed and the installer script for this mod is run, assets from your SOAF game will be copied in to your Ghost Recon game (non-overwriting).
Once this is complete you will be able to play SOAF maps and characters in Ghost Recon, including online games. There is also a single mission file for each SOAF map that can be used by modders to script their own missions based on SOAF maps, and played in Ghost Recon.

How to have the 3rd (un)official expansion pack for Ghost Recon.
This little project is the extension of a very known mod called "SOAF maps into GR" by =TSAF=.
That project used a batch file to copy the map files from the SOAF installation path to the Ghost Recon one.
The present mod instead, apart using a more "modern" script file, ports also all the characters of SOAF, the musics, some screenshots and the more general feeling of having a 3rd expansion pack in Ghost Recon.
I've included also a mission file for every single map showing all the characters (actors) present in the original missions.
The main aim of this project is to give to the still active scripters out there some more assets to play with.
As in the original project by =TSAF= every map is playable in firefight/recon/MP mode.
How to install it:
1) First of all you must install on your HD The Sum Of All Fears
2) Unzip the Mp3.zip file into your Ghost Recon mod folder.
3) go into your Mp3 mod folder and launch (double click) the SOAF_2_GR.vbs. Now the tricky part. The script works perfectly if both Ghost Recon and SOAF are installed in their default installation path that are respectively
"c:\Program Files\Red Storm Entertainment\Ghost Recon"
and
"c:\Program Files\Red Storm Entertainment\The Sum Of All Fears".
Please not also that this is true only for the English version.
4) In case you don't meet the requirements as per point 3 you should manually edit the vbs file. You can easily open the VBS file with notepad. Feel free to write me if you need more help.
5) After you launched the VBS you should see some activities with your HD, wait some time (depending on the performances of your PC, particularly the hard disk) and then activate your "Sum of all fears" mod and enjoy it as an usual GR mod
WARNING VIRUS: some antivirus could detect the VBS as a malicious code. This is not a virus, you can check opening it with notepad before to launch it
