Daimaju Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) Hello [GR] Community. After Years of enjoying and loving Ghost Recon I made the descision to create a own Mod. But due to the problem that I cant skin, map, or model I was "forced" to create a compilation - no whole new Mod. Actually this Mod was just for me and two Coop friends to enjoy GR the way we like it best. But now the Mod is pretty big and could interest more people, than just me and my friends, so I want to release it. The Mod is nearly finished. Actually the Mod is finished (V1.0) but of course still a Betaversion... I send a few Mails/Permission requests to use all the fantastic stuff of other Mods/Modders recently and I wait for answers right now. The Problem is that a few people are no longer available under the mail adresses I have. Like Thumper, Cocobolo and Calum Keen... If anyone know how I could contact those guys, pls tell me. Otherwise I cant release the Mod... But now I want to show you "my" Ghost Recon...

The Characters look the same! Because in Real Life there are Sniper/Spotter Teams. To simulate this I have cloned the Sniper, named him Spotter and giving him a Mk12 Mod 0 SD with a Spotting Scope and the other Sniper Kits... Why so less and restricted kits? To force the Player(s) to choose their Character wisely and to match the function of the Soldier. You dont need Frags for the Demoman, you can take the 18 Alpha/Team Leader for this. The Scout and Spotter, for an Example, are the only Actors with the M4 TA01 with SD and Bipod. Scout had Sensors before but they dont work anymore because you dont see the enemy on the map now. Why so less weapons? Personally I HATE Mods which provide 300.000 Kits and 900.000.000 different Weapons. For what? 1. I want to simulate the actual gear of the units, no SciFi Weapons those Units dont use anyway. 2. It would take hours to find the weapon youre searching for in the Menu, thats annoying. This Mod Compilation provides all the weapons you need, but there are of course a few "Extras" Mods used and Credits: No Easy Day 1.5 (by Cocobolo Ops: DTD Pro Mod Team) CENTCOM 1.0 (Created By The CENTCOM Mod Team) Force Recon I, Force Recon II and Fashion Upgrade (by CommandoCrazy) Map Grids ("SuperGrids") SOF (by Calum Keen) M4 Sopmod (by Prozac and Jay) Most Sounds (by Kafee and Beerbelly) Marines Bell UH1 (by SnowFella?) Various Stuff from unknown Authors (like Blood...) - Thank you, whoever you are... If I used some of youre work and didnt list it, please contact me: Daimaju@gmx.net I hope you enjoy this Compilation, made possible by all those fantastic Modders! Greetings, Daimaju aka Kilo 1.1 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The ReadMe is not 100% up to date (KSK/Seals Kits, MP5 Variants added etc.) but I will change it later. I will post Screenshots later and more Screens on request - if anyone is interested in this Mod... Remember - I WONT release this Mod until I have all the permissions I need... Comments welcome! Last but not least. A big thank you to all the big (ans small) Modders out there who are keeping [GR] still alive after more than 6 Years! Thats awesome!

Tinker Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi Daimaju I`m not 1 to bash anyone who has put in all the work that you have to accomplish this. I know how long it takes to put all that stuff together. Still, some thoughts: 1: You wrote: If anyone know how I could contact those guys, pls tell me. Otherwise I cant release the Mod... You could of posted, asking if anyone knows how to contact them first. I know I can contact nearly all if really needed. You can contact most right here with a PM. Most are active. 2: You wrote: If I used some of your work and didnt list it, please contact me That is a bad way to start out. If you are compiling, you MUST keep a note of what you have added. Saves any future conflicts. 3: You wrote: Why so less weapons? Personally I HATE Mods which provide 300.000 Kits and 900.000.000 different Weapons. For what? Learn to create more characters, each having there own special kit layout, does not envolve must work. 4: You wrote: Remember - I WONT release this Mod until I have all the permissions I need... That is a good statement. END Anyhow i hope you get the permissions, if not, don`t be down hearted, maybe start looking at how to do some of that stuff yourself. There are still enough people around here to help you along. Good Luck Tinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat50 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Ditto what Tinker wrote. Fantastic idea Daimaju. I hope you get all the permissions, I'd like to try your mod out. If I remember correctly, you are using PSP 7 as your photo editor. WytchDokta has PSP 7 and has had good luck with it too include working with alpha channnels. He has had some issues with PSP 8. I have PSP 9 and had allot of trouble just saving an .rsb. Anyways I finally got PS and that has worked fine for me. I include a couple of links for texturing and making sound files. https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Texture_Tools http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I agree you should have tryed to get premisons first before publishing a list CS2 or CS3 if you can afford a copy are good to go with .RSB files as long as you size them to the power of 2 eg:- 64, 128, 256, 512 or if your brave 1024 pixes CS3 extended version also opens .3DS files that can be rotated and painted on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janie42 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Best of luck Daimaju, hope your get your permissions x 2 Great news... Also, I'm really liking your descriptions of how carefully you've made a small choice of realistic weapons for each character depending on his job, etc. as I do not enjoy having to spend a really long time searching through "300.000 Kits and 900.000.000 different Weapons." (It can take so long to select weapons in such Mods that I can be too tired at the finish of selecting to actually play!) Looking forward to your release... Seen any snipers lately?

Hehe, no Snipers so far - but Im not at home so... hey was this a reflection coming from hat hill?!? anyway, I plan to add more weapon kits. more different ones. a few MP variants, more (L)MGs etc. Sniper rifles are enough I think. M24, M40, Mk12 SPR and the Barrett in two variants. one with standard .50projectiles and the other with the Mk211 projectile (AT+explosive) ;o) Im home again at monday, maybe... then we will see ) stay tuned...

Sixpence Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 BTW: You find the correct Credits in all my Mods (have a Look on: Backpacks, Radios, Attachments like Patrol Cap and so on...) Would be nice if the "older Modders" noted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimaju Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 BTW: You find the correct Credits in all my Mods (have a Look on: Backpacks, Radios, Attachments like Patrol Cap and so on...) Would be nice if the "older Modders" noted I know, I askedthem for permission etc... and they will be noted in the final credits/readme... Release of JO will be later. I will stay another week, maybe even two weeks, so I cant work on the mod for this time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
