How To Start Campaigns That Are Customized?


Recommended Posts

Hello All,

First time post, so please be gentle on me! :D

I'm not new to the concept of modding; I've made/contributed towards a few myself in fact, but I'm at a loss as to how to do so for Ghost Recon (PC). I've done several searches on this forum, and obviously, I must not have picked the correct keywords to search for...

This is my situation: I've downloaded/installed a fair number of mods into my "Mods" directory. I've gone through and activated and prioritized them so that the mods I desired the most are at the bottom of the list. I quite the game after activating them and then restarted the game so that they'd work properly.

When I go to start a campaign, the only one that's listed is the very first GR campaign. The campaigns for Desert Seige and Island Thunder are not listed at all, nor are any of the other mods that I've installed such as Centcom, No Easy Day, amongst a few others.

Shouldn't these mods be readily displayed somewhere on one of the game's main loading screens? And if so, where would I find it?

Do I have to ensure that only one campaign is activated at a time, because it's my strong impression from my research that one can have numerous mods in one's list; the trick is to remember that the mods listed at the bottom of the list will overwrite file entries made by installing the earlier mods.

Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. Just don't tell my wife because she things I'm perfect!

Thanks in advance!

Yours,

Kyle

Hi

Nice concise post :thumbsup:

When you select New Campaign, the custom campaign should be listed there. If it is not there are two possibilities.

1. The mod is not a campaign (i.e. it is a mission to be launched from the Quick Mission option, or a weapon mod where the new content will only be shown when you are actually in the game).

2. The mod is installed in the wrong folder. this is unlikely as you have already said the mods are listed in Options>Mods.

The solution is to post exactly which mod you are trying to play, and we can talk you through the installation and running.

Rocky,

Thanks for your very prompt and generously detailed response to my query. When I read what your solution was, I thought, there's no way that it's just that simple, because none of the mods were there when I went a started up the regular GR campaign. Lo and behold my surprise that in spite of my disbelief, I went ahead and tried what you suggested, and happily, it worked. Thank you and please pay no attention to my embarrassment. :D

Yours!

Kyle
