ScoobySnakr Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I downloaded the standard update by Earl and the NMM by Nishi but I don't think my PC could handle the mods, how can I uninstall the standard update as it does not show in my control panel (add/remove programs).

Private B Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 There should be an uninstall, if not just remove the Standard upgrde folder in the mods folder. Btw: do you have Desert Siege and Island Thunder add-ons? Since ST requires both. And know how to activate the mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav80 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 (edited) When you say it "doesn't work", are you sure? Because, as far as I can remember (it's been a while, so I may be wrong on this), the Standard Upgrade reskins the existing weapons and generally makes them look nicer, rather than giving you a ton of new guns to play with. My point is that it may be working just fine and you just haven't noticed any glaringly obvious differences with the mod switched on....

Not only the texture is new, it's a complete weapon mod. http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=7709 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I'm shmall kine ignorant because I'm new to these games but I eally appreciate the instant feedback. Yes, I do have Desert Seige and Island Thunder but haven't gotten to those yet. Do I need to install them now for the mod to work? I also went into options and activated the mods. The problem I'm having is with the G8 and Nishi mods activated my GR will begin to start and then just quit and closeup. With the standard upgrade it begins loading and then after awhile my PC just seems to stall out and the game doesn't start! What gives??

The mods will be looking for files that don't exist so they crash. Most mods require these expansion packs. IT will patch you up to 1.3 so you'll need to grab 1.4 to get the most out of your mods.

GRT Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Patch 1.4- ftp://ftp.ubisoft.com/games/ghostrecon/patches/Patch1.4.zip First install Desert Siege then install Island Thunder. Then install this patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobySnakr Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 Thanks for all the help! I have a couple other dumb ?'s for you experienced players. Now that I've got these mods working do I just activate one mod at a time or can I run several of them at a time. How does activating a "total conversion" mod affect me if I'm in the middle of GR1?

Private B Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Most mods can be used in combinations, though some kit files might overwrite )not sure no that one). If you start using a total conversion in the middle, there shouldn;t be any problems, but turning them off during campaign might cause some troubles.

Have you installed the standard update mod? I tried installing the patch but it keeps saying that "there is nothing to update" although I do have the SU folder in mods folder. Do I install it into Ghost Recon/Mods or just Ghost Recon/? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobySnakr Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 I downloaded the NMM v2.1 mod by Nishi but whenever I activate it and start a game it just automatically shuts down. Any idea why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRT Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Do you have Desert Siege and Island Thunder activated? Also if you do go ingame and when it crashes go in your main GR folder and look for a file called "ike.txt". Open it and copy everything from there to here.
