You find this helpful. And this. Cheers, Jack

As you have no doubt discovered, if you have more than 4 objectives 'active' you will crash the game. The only solution I have found is to remove completed objectives from the list before adding your new ones. Cheers, Jack

Hey mehn_15, Go to your Ghost Recon\Data\Shell\Art directory where you will find main_menu-01.rsb thru main_menu-05.rsb. These are the images selected at random for the main menu. If you open one in photoshop you can drag the background layer of your image onto it. Hit Ctrl-T and hold down Shift while you drag the corners to resize it. Once you are happy with it, flatten the image and save it with the same name into your mods art directory. You will have to create all five if you want your image to show every time GR loads. The same deal applies to the shell_bgd-01.rsb thru shell_bgd-05.rsb'

Damn that Avatar of yours is good Tollen - did you do it yourself? It really is classy EDIT: Doh! Er, I meant signature

I found it at Ghostrecon.de - whether it will still work post patch remains to be seen though . . .

Hey kris that's a fabulous website you've got there - very innovative Das cattle-pult indeed! Very, very funny

We can do that now - the limitation is CPU grunt. Did you ever play 'Riot in Belgrade'? - probably the most breathtaking mission ever made for GR. I still recall the actual real fear I felt the first time that armed mob rounded the corner - simply awsome BTW, it's no accident that it occurs on the Embassy map as it is very CPU and GPU friendly.

Works just dandy here. Tell you what, email me and I'll send it to you

Wow, thanks Rocky! Very kind of you

Sorry to hear that m8. Take a look at the spoilers.txt in the SPR directory for a walk thru on that mission. Cheers, Jack

Great to hear Argyll, thanks for the info. Jack

I see on their website it's out and it's got a, quote: "buttload of mods for Ghost Recon" on the CD. Has anyone spied it yet? Rocky? I guess it'll reach Australia's sunny shores in a couple of months Jack

Doh! That's true Maybe whoever penned the quiz wanted to see if anyone was paying attention - it seems Kiff was . . . As to the answer, Google found me this: "The Roman writer Pliny in his Natural History describes six of the islands, one . . . was called Canaria on account of the multitude of huge dogs roaming about. This is the first known use of the name Canaria, which has its root in canis, the Latin for dog."

Ditto!

1) The only difference is that, if they are DS maps they will rquire DS to be active for them to work. As such, if they are in the origmiss\mission directory they will still be visible in the mission menu even if DS is not active - trying to run them however (without DS active) will cause GR to crash. Conversely if they are in the mp1\mission directory they wil not be visible in the mission menu if DS is not active. All this brings up another point. Unless they are server side only MP missions, I always unzip new missions and accompanying files into a mod directory of their own (they really

Yikes man! You don't want to overwrite them That's called burning your bridges . . . You might find THIS thread helpful - you would achieve what you want the same way except with the sniper chr's etc. But do it as a mod, not by overwriting. Cheers Jack

I have used counters in this way Urban_Tiger with no problems. I'm not sure what's amiss - are you definately using a block preserve? If you set up a block with the DeathCompanyMember trigger, then a block preserve and a counter you should be hunky dory. Put a debug message in the block to check that it's triggering. Cheers, Jack

Once you have copied the files over, select them all > RightClick > Properties > Uncheck ReadOnly. Then RightClick on one file > OpenWith > NotePad (check the box for 'Always use selected program to open this kind of file'. If you are using WinXP and there is no 'OpenWith' in the RightClick menu then just double click it and choose 'Select the program from a list' Cheers, Jack

I was wrong about this - they are not destroyed They simply use the HideMapObject with a Debris effect to give the appearance of the building being destroyed. You could do the same with the dynamic vehicle objects on the Embassy map - as far as I am aware they are not destructible like the chopper on Mountain Stronghold, so you wouldn't be able to query a rocket strike.
