connie lingus Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 I have been using GR MOD MANAGER for about three months now without a problem. However, for some reason I am getting an error message stating "you must specify path". In addition my mods screen is blank. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result. Does anyone have any knowledge concerning this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pave Low Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Is it the one by GAK_Firestar ? (if not Click here to download it) If so; If you look in your mod manager folder you will see a File called “grpath” (no extension) just delete it. Start “GR MOD MANAGER” (without GR being active) Navigate to the location of Ghost Recon folder, (not the mod folder) Select OK it should now retain this setting. If not you may have a problem with GR's "modsset.txt" file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connie lingus Posted March 3, 2003 Author Share Posted March 3, 2003 Dear Pave Low, Thanks for responding to my query, yes this is the mod by Firestar. I did what you said, however there still is nothing populated in the mods windows. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Crocodile Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 After creating and editing your Mod (folder, etc) using IGOR, is it really necessary to use a Mod Manager? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack57 Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 (edited) After creating and editing your Mod (folder, etc) using IGOR, is it really necessary to use a Mod Manager? Why? Well I use it a lot to activate mods without having to load GR so I can open the missions in Igor without it crashing. Now that the Mods options has been improved in GR I generally use it now, when wanting to activate mods for playing them. @connie lingus - when you set the path are you setting it to GR root directory and not the mods directory? EDIT: Oops sorry - I see Pave Low already asked that. Can you change mods normally in GR? And does it retain it? If not maybe your modsset.txt has been made read only somehow Cheers, Jack ps: nice handle you got there connie Edited March 3, 2003 by Jack57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connie lingus Posted March 3, 2003 Author Share Posted March 3, 2003 Dear Jack57, Thank-you for your reply. Yes, the mods can be changed normally within the game, and yes , I did set the directory to the Ghost Recon folder and not Mods. I'm still not able to see anything in the Mod Manager and it still asks for a path every time I start it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pave Low Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Hmmm . . .This is weird. 1. When you start mod manager do you get the following error (should only get this if grpath file is not in the mod manager folder; Error: You must specify your Ghost Recon Path… This will only happen once! OK 2. When you launch the mod manager do you get another box beside it titled “select GR directory”? In the middle of the Mod Manager screen you should see a box titled “Ghost recon folder path:” 3a. Is this always blank or is something filled in there? 3b. If it is filled in please post exactly what it says 4. Open the mod manager folder and see if it contains the following files COMDLG32.OCX Ghost Recon Mod Manager.exe README.txt RICHTX32.OCX Grpath 5. Right click on the GRPATH file, select properties, see if the read only box is checked. 6. Make sure the GRPATH file doesn’t have any file extensions (.txt ETC.) Navigate to the root of your GR folder 7a. Right click on the modsset.txt file, select properties, see if the read only box is checked. 7b. Open the modsset.txt file and check if it looks like this // MODS SETTINGS - LIST OF MODS ACTIVE ON THIS SYSTEM "\mods\mp1" "\mods\mp2" Or are there any other symbols or other letters on the page.

connie lingus Posted March 8, 2003 Author Share Posted March 8, 2003 Dear Pave Low, Thanks for your response! In answer to the first question; Yes I get the error message. Second question: Yes--GR Directory Box appears. Third question: This is blank. Forth: MM folder contains all those files Fifth: modsset.txt file cannot be read--says it was corrupted, this is after re-installing. Lastly the Mod Settings page is blank.

connie lingus Posted March 8, 2003 Author Share Posted March 8, 2003 Dear Pave Low, P.S. The grpath file was NOT checked read only--should it be? The error message always appears whe opening the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pave Low Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 No the "grpath" file should not be read only However modsset.txt file cannot be read--says it was corrupted There's your problem right there. 1. Delete the corrupt "modsset.txt" file 2. Start GR 3. Activate or deactivate a mod (and accept) 4. Close GR It should now have created a new modsset.txt file which should be OK. 5. Launch mod manager and once you put in the path (hopefully for the last time) it should work OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
