  1. Well perhaps the time of absence has caused the dwindling of this thread but fret not, only excuse i have is because we've been REALLY REALLY hard at work with this mod. And I shall take you up on this challenge JASGripen, though it may make release of the mod quite longer, I am actually drawing up a blueprint of the AK-47 XM . A new AK lol...

    So my work will be totally devoted to this at the moment, I will post scans of my blueprints and specifications of the gun and my vision. Followed by attempted 3d modelling. Also, if you see this as any update, my friends have begun alpha testing and debugging of Warfighter Mode :) We will soon be requesting Beta testers.

  2. UPDATE:

    I don't know if those license agreements pertain only to COMMERCIALLY or if they apply to all? Otherwise, modders such as I and my friends including the modders in this community would have to be imprisoned :)

    Reponse to anticheat:

    We are actually working with scripters from FeedPirahnas on possibly providing a subsidiary anti-cheat program for server admins. We are awaiting a response from them. Giving you in-game, the option to 'Enable anti-cheat' and then to enable ours. This is all still a very lengthy process, but I will be posting screens of our progress in in corporating the OICW into the game.

    EDIT: Oh we don't have a website, because we aren't actually a band of soldiers like Clans out there. I am the only GRAW player amongst my coworkers who are very knowledgeable in programming and 3d design. I basically presented them with a challenge and a project and they accepted.

  3. Me and a few of my friends from work are going to be working on our own patch. I don't know if this is illegal or we need permission from GRIN but it's basically a mod that fixes things right? lol If it is at all illegal to make our own fixes for the games errors and bugs please post a reply now, anyone from Grin.. so I do not waste mine and my coworkers time on this. We have gone through just about 80% of the game's full hard code and figured we could patch up some of the loose ends. We'll be working extensively with the knowledge we have of the game at this point.

    At this point our main objectives are as clear as day. As this Mod/Patch will hopefully be able to install into GRAW just as others do. A lot of work needs to be done, and below are a list of things we have deemed Definite Fixes and following that list will be a list of bugs and errors we will be trying our best to figure out.

    Note: In the event GRIN releases another patch concerning bugs and errors, I strongly urge you to overlook our patch and use their official patch. Although our patch will aim to fix errors and bugs currently confirmed, but we will not know whether it will create new ones or remain dormant. One this is for sure, we will need beta testers as soon as a beta is available.

    ETA on MugenPower v1.0 POD (Patch+Mod) for GRAW v1.30

    Nov-Dec 2006

    Official Notes for MugenPower v1.0 POD (Patch+Mod) (3rd party)

    #############################################

    -Fixes the sound bug in-game

    // game will unknowingly use left channel/right channel, instead of stereo at certain times.

    -Fixes the killcount for [GR] Coop

    // game has a broken calculator/tracker code.

    -Fixes server disconnects

    // some coding for this patch that added new gametypes failed to correctly translate TCP from UDP and will randomly kick people because of restricted access on firewalls and such. People in DMZ's will also be kicked because packets will be lost from this incorrect calculation.

    -Fixes and adds 'baddies' in [GR] Coop

    // game would spawn A.I. in inaccessible areas of the map, primarily in Mayday! Mayday! Spawn points will be reworked, and more terrorists will also be put in :)

    (note: this is the 'mod' aspect of this fix. we will be adding up to 80 more terrorists per difficulty level.... i know, it's insane. Servers will be able to choose from Firefight / Recon / Firefight 2 / Recon 2 / Firefight 3 / Recon 3, types all differentiating in number of terrorists.

    ADDITIONS

    ##############################################

    -Adding a cumulative of 80 terrorists to respective difficulty levels. Hardcore having a total of 120 terrorists.

    -Adding 'Warfighter' gametype along with a new map for this type. Two sides will spawn on the other side of each other, both in plain view. Sandbags, trenches, and obstacles will be in their reach but not from spawn. A countdown will begin as the match starts. Once the match starts, it's do or die, get to cover, get killed, it's all out war. This gametype will require maps to have paths wider than a 10 player width, so forget the winding and tunnel driven maps for this gametype, it will not work :)

    -Adds the ability to interact with objects. This will mainly add the ability ONLY in Warfighter mode to use .50 cal turret weapons, and a new turret weapon being added to the game, Morters. Reminiscent of [GR] teams can utilize morters :)

    ****************this has been tested out already by us in a large LAN test. One of us was killed by a truck that was pushed down from the hill. -_-**************

    -Adds DEFEND gametype for [GR] Coop, along with the most notable GR remake of the Map EMBASSY, for Defend and Siege mode. This is with all original textures/objects rendered by my good buddy dye-uh-lekt, the 3dsm prodigy.

    Finally... we are incorporating the famous weapon into the game.

    Ares Shrike Assault Rifle, with attachable Drum magazine, Sniper scope, silencer, or M203 GL.

    Note: these bugs are confirmed and we've determined their cure already, however without the consideration of new bugs arising, hence the need for beta testing.

    ################################################

    Let's hope for the best and I will update this thread with our progress and screens as well.

  4. This is infact true. I hosted my own server last night for patch #3 and I must say that Coop has taken leaps and bounds.

    I was playing with 14 players some from my own clan, and all we playing simultaneously. I believe, that when a match starts and those 14 r playing, the others must wait til all are dead or time runs out. Still.... the number of simultaneous players ARE 32.

    Mission Coop is still 4.

    But.. the numbers don't lie.

  5. I think he was hinting at the fact that eventhough the games were popular, each new game was different from the last and still did well. Just a guess.

    Maybe I'm jumping the gun too quickly here, and correct me if i'm wrong. But if it is easy enough to write up a little mod switching utility in VBS couldn't it be that much easier to put it into the game?

    I'm pretty sure the basic concept of the script would be this.

    Create a Mod folder.

    Mods come with their own custom bundles and what not.

    In-Game menu to activate Mod, tells game to run off of those bundles instead of the bundles in local.

    For example you have local/quick.bundle with the original files.

    Then you have Mods/killerweaponsmod/quick.bundle

    Activate the mod in game and the game is told to run off of that quick.bundle .... quickly activating the mod into use.

    Isn't that the basic concept behind a Mod Activator/Deactivator?

  6. You guys fail to realize that these are Multiplayer packs, aimed to increase the replay value of Multiplayer modes. Which is why they are focusing on playable modes and maps rather than fixing bugs. Because a "patch" means to patch something up, whilst these packs are adding things on.

    It would be foolish for GRIN to stop development of any futures patches, however I do believe this to be the last multiplayer pack, and that it will be the final changes we see in it's entirety aside from 3rd party / community development such as Mods. If I remember correctly Original GR wasn't so hot in multiplayer until everyone started modding and making things interesting.

    P.S. Don't forget that SDK with the next patch or with this MP pack GRIN.. :)

  7. Take the 'gonna be' out of your statement, spotH3D. Then it's accurate.

    And yeah, changing magazines in the open is a BAD idea in any FPS. Mexican Rebels know to catch you changing mags, just like Georgian Rebels once did...

    more so then likely if there is little between you and the enemy you wwill normally fire in vollies, and cover ur teammate with fire while the other reloads and then vice versa. He's not completely in danger. I bet it looks that way.... but one way or the other... it doesn't take long for Ghosts to reload :P

  8. I wanted to know if anyone could re-make the Ares Shrike rifle. We've seen the weapon mod in the past done on GR, and now I would like to know if anyone would like to undertake this challenge? I've seen many challenges taken and completed, and would like to try this out.

    With the new patch coming out I'm hoping more light will be shed upon the modding of New weapons rather then modding existing ones, making things easier for such talent on these forums. Here are some reference material:
