think it was a c++ editor of some kind, when he is online i will ask for the program, but mind you, he did write a simple program to extract just this image (this is a jpg copy realsize but not the original DTX5 texture)
i will post the programs when i know for sure
to re-save he said it would take some while to save it because the bundle had to be resaved for as far as he could determine in this brief half hour of tinkering
but it could be done
he estimated that a good programmer could make a usefull tool in two days
the structure of the bundle is not, in his eyes obvious, but not unmanagable
but maybe i am getting ahead because they (grin) said there will be some mod tools
hopefully my friend will make something in the future, if i can get him

today we had,
me and a good friend who back in the days introduced me to GR,
found in the bundle of the demo
he is a programmer and can do miracles (at least in my eyes)
within 15 minutes of playing in some C++ editor and some other programming tools
we got a look inside and it looked prommissing
http://www.suiside.net/site_images/newspost_images/gr.jpg
this is a jpg but we found them in DXT5 in the bundle (with alpha channel etc.)
he said it was well in range of any programmer with the right tools and skills to get there,
not moddable............. he said that was Crap,
hopefully i can get him to make a usefull tool once
but otherwise i think there will be some that see the light from this post
have fun
if i went out of my way with this searching i am sorry, just curious and anxious to see what lies behind the bundle of joy we call GRAW
*don't know where that little grey square came from....

map/mission editor
a recon button in command interface/tac map
where you can order your men to use silenced weapons only and only fire when fired upon
non urban maps
(or something like village from [GR])
some non 9mm pistols
(fn 57, usp, desert eagle)
maybe some more smg's
like mp7 and p90, tmp
different scopes or interchangable
reddot, eotech choise on what ever weapon
add a scope, acog or miniscope 6x32
peek in prone
an extra sniper rifle
less heavy - not .50cal
a female personality (or skin)
the use of stationairy weapons with limited ammo
(might have missed something or called for something all ready in the retail game,
comes today !!!!!!!!!!)

i think they (ubi or the one who decides) do not want to have screenshots of dead civies as marketing, it would bring bad press
if in the demo there were civies, and we would have posted stranges poses with civies in them then some PC game hater would use that to say that this game was about killing people and civies, this would in turn hurt sales but would also bring folk here that would not understand GR / GRAW and spoil it for us
i like to have civies
because it makes for better awareness,
then you would have to confirm/identify every encounter before opening fire
and it makes for great mod variations for missions SP/COOP
maybe it will come in addon or patch, maybe we just have to do without
but i would like some civies just to be on my toes a little more
*oops this was a bit off topic

last month a scandal broke about one ship where several women were sexually assaulted
and that some men were not able to behave correctly towards the women onboard
these are facts
and also were the main reasons for the navy to hold women off for a long time
writing down in rules that women are not allowed will be seen as discrimination in the netherlands, there is only the exception for the submarines for as far as i know, due to the fact that the submarine is too confined as a ship(no privacy)
and here in the netherlands we have women in infantry they do the same training
yet few apply and fewer get there, but some do get there and do their duties equal
that is what i know
and i did not mean to say you were anything, you had just taken that from my words , i did not mean to label you, but if you think i did i am sorry for the way i wrote, just wanted to make clear that political correctness is all around us
You claim it's a fact? Prove it. I want to see the studies and the corroborated expert testimony that proves your "fact". Calling it a fact doesn't make it one. What you have there is a theory, nothing more. I'm not going to argue that your theory is right or wrong, but please don't presume to call something a fact unless you can back it up with more than your opinion.i can not prove what is not accepted, i worked for a social institution that focused on discrimination, and know from experiance
and there is no way to prove the stamina and endurance thing, because there are, due to history and social behaviour of mankind, too little female soldiers to make a fair and representive study, this has to do with role paterns not abilities

Ok sui spare me the Liberal lecture. There is a fundamental difference between the performance of each sex in air combat jobs to that of ground combat primarily Infantry roles. if there were no colored people in the ghost team the publisher would have been sewed!And to be quite honest, that remark offends me, the idea that the world has gone so mad that political correctness affects a game developer's limits.
Since my point has been so twisted that I now look like the resident 'bubble burster' I'll take my debate elsewhere.stay and back up the claims you make for not having female caracters
the liberal lecture was not ment as a lecture, it is a fact that women are not excluded due to stamina or strength but because it would upset a male dominated organisation and that has led in holland to sexual assaults and such, this is the main reason for most to exclude females in service
and the discrimination thing, well lets say that some WOII games will never be allowed, i dont have any titles but i can imagine some will be offended and hold that against the publishers
(i don't think a game that has a mission with the destruction of israel will ever make it)
you might not live in the mad world of political correctness, but some do
and some rather not, but have to because of (financial) penalties
-
there should be female caracters in the game
those who cry of it not being realistic and backing that up with stamina and performance claims are dead wrong
all these "scientific" reseaches were done by female fearing men or by men who see problems in women in the service
here in holland we have female fighterpilots in F16's and they perform just the same as male pilots
this might be a different branch but i don't think the stamina and strength claim fits
and they should be in for one other reason, maybe the most important one
it is discriminating towards the female gamers not to have an ingame representation
if there were no colored people in the ghost team the publisher would have been sewed!
bring on the girl caracters !

i sure did kill em
scar H at 25 meters with reddot
he was dead on map
tried to reproduce but rebel did not spawn on same place
-
any one noticed that if you kill a rebel just before the auto save in SP mission
that it can reapear if it was part of the game ment for after the auto save ??
i found a sniper just after the the first vehicle on the roof of a building and shot him
then i called in my team and the game was auto saved
i look up and there is the sniper again wich i just shot :S, the dead body gone
any one seen this ??
i will try to recreate the same action and make screenshots, hope it will work again
-
i haven't seen them use secondairy weapons eighter
-
i can not get it clearer than this, maybe some one with a better system ?
this is taken on a x1600pro 512mb
-
this is on low
-
any one seen this ??

AA is nice but when you notice it missing i have one question, do you play the game or are you just sightseeing ?
because when i play i can't be bothered with eye candy, i just want to stay alive and need my focus on other things
and one more thing, when you are looking at something in real life, can you focus on the far ends of you FOV , without directing your pupils ?
i would not say it would not be nice to have AA but i don't think it is such a big deal
when playing you have to ask yourself, Do i really see this or need this ?
this game looks great and for all that is given us in this demo, you can tweak quite a lot be happy with what is given and if complaining do it on things that are actually worth complaining about, because the AA thing is known for some time now and not of any value in game play
i play at 25 fps, and that might not be much, but hell my eyes don't go above 24 frames i do not notice it in any harmfull way and have a lot of eye candy so what if the power/phone lines above are constructed out of 30 or so bloks, i do not need to focus on that, i need to see and focus on the guy firing at me
i did not say i did not try to get it better, but once it was clear i could not get better straight lines and clean the edges i went on playing accepting it as a part of the game,
it is just eye candy not the game
-
i have also noticed that my team mates do have a weak point in walking in front of my barrel, though not very often, and once or twice in 3 hours i think it is no big deal,
the rebel ai is quite a surprize as i have found them wandering of, making use of cover and reacting to sound
they do Come for you even if they were not in the initial battle
but sometimes they do get relaxed too quickly, 10 seconds no fire and they sart doing their routine again, maybe it is just the demo but i would surely investigate more if i were them,
but all in all it is great
even the sneaky snipers are although sometimes they are a pain in the ass -
it think it is just a real life thing, in real life you have boundries just the same
if you go to work, you don't leave the building unless you are supposed to or allowed
if a soldier with this kind of gear went of to find an easy way way of the line of battle planning then he would probably be corrected as well
as for outflanking with the machine gun nest, try splitting your team up the streets down of the nest, make one shoot at the far end of where you are standing, then when the gun is turned you shoot and have flanked him simply by averting his attention
i think this is a good thing, maybe a childish manner of managing the player, but more likely to be as it would be in real life
-
i think there is no blood in the demo because of the free access
any one can download it and that might be wrong because there is a teen warning on it
blood will probably be in the game, for realisme sake
no blood in demo means no offended parents looking over the shoulder of their kids killing of the world
-
low for me, it still has a yellowish filter but not that golden look !!
maybe that PE thing was GRAW going GOLD
-
mr-c or the scar H
undicided about those two but for secondairy i found the baretta silenced doing it's job darn well
one plus for the scar H is that it has somewhat more stopping power and i did have a good / decent shot had mid range with it
(earlier i posted that i missed the 7.63 midrange, i was wrong:P)
all in all i think most weapons are fine, but i don't like the shape of the xm8, would not be seen dead or alive with it
-
i only regret that when hit by a .50 cal from some distance you do not die or even fall of your feet
though never been hit by .50 machinegun in real life i can not say thaty you should fall or die or be downed by a hit but i can imagine it is not this easy to swallow, even with tomorrows armour, that will never stop the energy forced upon the plate/body
but i like the fact that it is not one shot one kill with a rifle though
although i miss the 7.62 cal rifle, with a scope for mid range sniping
but those are minor things though,
*back to the demo

when GR1 came out, who could play it without updating their PC ??
i think it is good that low end PC's can't run it, then it will last longer ......
(knowing ubi and SDK's )
if games won't push the tech what will ??
we desire lots of things in eye candy and ai and what ever you can come up with
but when you find that you are due for an update you complain
(you as in the people that complain about high specs and post wish lists as well)
the devs tried hard to give us our wishes and there for we need to buy stuff to fullfill our wishes and demands we have put upon the devs
if there is a conspiracy we gamers are a big part of it even if we are not aware of it
i would have been happy with a mission pack for the old GR and some grafical updates, but we got a new game, different engine and other abilities,
i won't complain, i updated for this game and am happy i did, that is time and evolution in progress,
updating your PC is like patching a game, moddifying a weapon with new calibers and sights, all to improve the performance
that is life,
and updating does not have to be expensive
you can get good resaults with fair prizes for vidcards just read and think of what you want
and it was known long before the demo that it would be a heavy game to run !
-
i aim for the head and hit the head or upper torso
maybe you run to much ?
-
prone command would be nice, but when you can duck for cover in a corner or doorway, prone can be less functional and limiting in movement, you go prone in a field easier than in the streets
(with the roof snipers in the demo who wants to go prone as reaction ?? i'd rather run and hide)
but it would be nice to have a prone command and the recon (for the name of the game as one good reason) command, that will make sneaking past enemies or hiding for them better:ph34r:
*nice to know that there are more weapons ahead
can't wait untill it comes in my mailbox
-
thanks grin for making this happen
i enjoy the demo and surely will enjoy the full game (would have liked a female caracter though, just to get my girlfriend interrested
)it runs pretty well on my system
AMD 3000xp athlon
1024 mb
x1600pro 512mb
i love the things you have done like the reactions of enviorment to gun fire and explosions, but even more so the ai which in my opinion does have its flaws but also haves its highs
low as in the rebel stuck between bench and sandbags, or after a gun fight stands facing the other way as if nothing happend.... the good thing is something like the cover option in the team menu, works pretty well just as the supressive fire
i was very pleased to see vehicles blow up infront of me and the sneaking that can be done succesfully with silenced weapons
the tac map is awesome as a tool and as a TV for viewing the battle between friendly and rebel ai
i was also pleased with the sounds, though i have to figure out the best settings for my 5.1
the music did remind me of a totally different game though and it was a welcome sound, when not in danger there is this ambient music like thing that really reminds me of the first (and only) quake soundtrack(/NIN) thanks for that feel you give with it
the other music when near a fight is not my kinda music but that is not a big issue because it seems to fade when concentrating on the firefight
all in all i think that you have done great, or GRAWFULL, it met my expectations and pleases me very much even if i can only play the demo at this moment
what ever people say that it lacks a GR feeling in gameplay, i too notice a difference, but not in the joy and my fysical reactions when playing
it can pull you in just like GR does, and i think that is important
Keep up the good work, because it is Good work
