  1. 1. Are most of you in the tech/programming business in "real life" or perhaps are you in a completely non-related field?

    No

    2. If you approached modding as a hobby and did not have a tremendous programming background did you "cut your teeth" on GR/Igor or perhaps another game and editor?

    Is a Hobby, yes. IGOR was a littel bit tricky, nothing further.

    3. Did you have a mentor as you learned to mod?

    not Really

    4. If involved in a large mod, how many people were actively involved in producing it?

    2-4

    5. What do you feel is the ave. age of the current modders?

    25

    6. How does the amount of time you spend modding compare to the amount of time you game? (not counting test runs on your mods)

    puuaahhhh, I dont know this really..

    7. If you were to start over learning to mod (without previous experience) - How would you approach it and what mistakes would you avoid.

    Start with Desktop Research. Inform you about Area, Story, involved Troops...finish your Missions in your Head, donts start Scripting without a Plan what should be the Summary.

    8. Finally, perhaps I left off another question that should have been asked - please feel free to add it...

  2. LOL Dont praise on me, i am a human only...but thx for the nice Words. I had always an eye the past months here. Eager to see new Mods an especially Statemenst from GRIN or Ubi about a new , better Ghost Recon. And I mean the Original, not the Future-Warrior-Laser-Combat-aeounflux- Version.

    Last Months i played Airsoft in a SEALTEAM and I have to say, it was a very, valuable Experience. Now I am ready to do something for Ghost Recon...

  3. Sorry, I just had to start a new topic, because I feel very strongly about this, and I think some of you may feel the same way! It is all well and good to talk about every single feature that may or may not make it into the latest family member, but my main concern is this: Will the bloodline of the King be revived? Will there be a direct descendant?

    Will he, who was once great and started all of this - this web site, this community - be the biological father of the child, or will we see just another adopted son? I do not know the details of what has been announced by the obstetricians Red Storm and Ubi, I only heard the rumors of the EndWar family line being involved, of a potential mixup regarding the parenthood. But maybe all of these are just tell-tales, and once the truth is revealed the land can finally reunite under one common rule.

    I, for one, am desperate for a new ruler truly deserving to bear the name of our King. I will swear my allegiance in an instant, I will bend my knee to the new Lord - but only if I will be able to see the unmistakably bright eyes of the father in the son's face, only if there can be no doubt about the child's ancestry!

    And now, to be clear:

    Give me Ghost Recon or give me nothing! Give me all that it was, nothing more, nothing less - just pull it out of the past and push it into the present! Give me up-to-date 3D models and graphics, a new physics engine, modern sound, the latest AI routines, cutting-edge scripting capabilities - and use it all to simulate reality to the highest degree possible on contemporary hardware! And don't forget the most important thing: Give me all the tools necessary to mod the game in any way I see fit!

    WORD !

    Give me my [GR] in a modern Look, we dont want anymore.

    BTW:

    More Mod Possibilities would be nice

    - let me create own Characters easily

    - create own Stuff like Backpacks, Flasbags, Belts, helmets, Berets,... easily

    - let me make Maps (and i mean BIGGER Maps) easily with Huts, thick Jungle, small Rivers and so on...flying Birds an Elephants (not flying) would be fine too

    - better AI

    - a Order Menu like SWAT ( Map ordering too !!)

    - let me write nice Stories and Mission Scriptings too...

  4. Hi all...

    Working away, slowly, on my little mission mod set in the Afghan mountains of the 1980s and wondered... has anyone ever made or seen a four-legged baggage-carrying beast of burden in GR?

    Ideally they'd carry a couple of Thales' Stinger crates for my Muj allies... much more fun than trucks or technicals on mountain roads?!

    Cheers lads... keep up the good modding work... I know I am :thumbsup:

    Theo

    Important: You need an Death-Animation too ! If any Player shoot at the Horse etc, ist should be falling down !

  5. Dear Killabee !

    Many Thx for your kindly Words and I have to say its good to see a a lot of people play and love Ghost Recon. It was always a great Pleasure for me ( and I think i can say: for the other great Modders too) to put a lot of Time, a litte bit of money :rocky: some Discussion with Wife & Daughter for this great Community of GR Lovers.

    I am happy all Things I have done , for You, for all of you.

    Love & Peace

    PS: I have always an Eye of you...

  6. This chr looking good !

    may I say what does I need for Modding ?

    Personally I dont like the "Future Soldiers" >_< , I am sure i can create interesting Missions/Stories with another Chr... :blush:

    Need...

    US SEALS, wearing Boonies, Bandanas and Barehed Chr with ISAAK rifleman vest,

    UK Chr with Boonies and Berets too, wearing PLCE (or similiar)

    US marines with Boonies and Smokey Bear Hat, Barehead, wearing MOLLE Vests....

    AND, most important, Rucksacks and Backpacks.

    The "old" Weapons would be nice too. (M4, M16/M203 and so on....with ACOGs)

    IMO it would be great if GRIN create and open it for DL.... :)

    If we have it all, GRAW will have a long life !

    PS: Is it possible to create Attachments to the Chrs - like in TCGR ?

  7. Not that I have seen publically on the forums at least, very few of the origonal GR modders are working on modding GRAW right now. It's kinda sad, I would love to see what some of the old-timers could do with GRAW.

    Sorry for the long Delay but there are 2 Reasons:

    1. I have nobody to create completely new Chr and without that it makes no sense

    2. and the second, still playing Airsoft and the Challenge would be end next Year.

  8. Sixpence,

    the maps from yotm is kind of a touchy subject.  Since so much blood, sweat and tears went into making them, and I didnt personally build them myself, I dont really feel comfortable giving the go ahead on them without the rest of the team's blessing.

    So until I can get a word from the rest of the team on how they feel about that, Im gonna unfortunately tell you no.  I hope you understand that its really just not my call.

    Many Thx for your kind Words and I understand your Point. In this Case I drop the EOC Mod completly, it makes no sense with other Maps. :(

  9. Off topic, but there's a WOI Map Pack that includes the pacific theater maps.  all you need to do is preactivate that mod to use them in yours, if they'll help.

    I know what you mean, but it makes no sense for me. If i preactivate the YOTM Mod, i have to play with the YOTM Soldiers. But EOC will not contain any Soldiers, its a Mission Mod only. (BTW, EOC plays in Future ) It would be better (and simpler ) to include the Maps.

    I havent this Prob with the WOI PT Mod, there was Maps inside only.

    So i ask you if its allowed ti INCLUDE the Maps for EOC ?

  10. OK , i played now the whole Mod and have to say: Congrats to the Team ! IMO the best inofficial Expansion Pack for Ghost Recon 1 !

    OK, and here ist the Question: Is it allowed to use the Maps for my ESSENCE OF COMBAT Mod ?

    Need Jungle Maps, and the YOTM Maps are great for this Mod.

    Release Date is in Summer 2006 !
