[Denise, it's me, ArkAngel from ICQ.]

Just to jog your memory a little, we chatted a LOT on ICQ. I also chatted with your daughter, Shadow quite a bit too. It's been almost a year since we have talked, mainly because I have been in a lot of training. Ugh. But finally, I've settled in Fort Bragg, NC...and I do believe I owe you a game of Ghost Recon.

Please respond and give me your ICQ address so we can chat again, or email it to me. Thanks!

[Unlock Heroes and Unlock Missions/Stat changing]

I used to be able to do this...buuut...

Er, anyways. I go both unlock documents, and they are in an .xml format. Sooo...I open it with Wordpad, and insert all the proper stuff...

...Aaaand...it does not work. What's up with that? I'm not to terribly good with troubleshooting, sorry. I just need to get the missions and heroes unlocked.

Also, one last thing. How do you mess with the stats of characters? I want to up my hero stats to 10 each.

[Any weapon statistics on the SOTOPLAST mod?]

Soooo many weapons, so much experimenting to do. Is there a site or FAQ on the SOTOPLAST mod that explains damage ratios, maximum effective ranges on weapons, and general information on the weapons to the mod? Hellalotta weapons. @_@

[SOTOPLAST mod continues to crash my game... =\]

Actually, though I have Gold, IT doesn't show up in the list of mods. Maybe it's not installed? I should try that.

[SOTOPLAST mod continues to crash my game... =\]

After enabling the SOTOPLAST mod on my GR, the title screen shows nothing but a white screen. However, the music still plays and you can still select your options, such as campaigne, options, quit game, and so forth. You just have to guesstimate where they are due to the white screen. Next, if you go into campaigne mode, select your saved campaigne, and continue on into the soldier selection screen, it crashes the game back into the desktop.

The SOTOPLAST mod is my favorite by far, but sadly I can't use it. Anyone know what is going on?
