GR Demo Mods

[SSR4000 0]

I'm not much in to modding but while playing the demo version I ran into a lot of people with mods so i thought i might try making some for myself. I noticed with igor {yes I also have gold edtion} that the demo had all the same sounds,textures,and all the weapons so I made a few kits using these such as MP5's with the rifleman and the SVD with the sniper then I added the "no restrictions" file so I could use them in multiplayer but when hosted a game with them the players where kicked out and when I tried to choose one of the kits myself the game crashed I tried them on singleplayer mode and they worked fine. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

Well. You made a mod, that is why other people cant join. People are still playing the demo, or did I misunderstand?

I was forced to play the Demo for a few months beacause my Cd got f-upped. And yes it was quite amazing what some of these guys did for server sidded mods for the demo.Huge gun flashes, moddified weapon scopes . And my Gamespy bro AKA POWER STOMP, put gun emplacements , and even tanks in the demo version. I dont no how it is done , but it can be.And these were server sidded mods.

I dont really understand what you said crimson..but when I played with players that had mods for the demo I found out that you didnt have to have them. just the host but anyway I have made a lot more mods for the demo including editing the fog levels, adding rain and snow and adding gun emplacments like ghostrecon50 said. All you really have to do is make copy of the textures on the full version and add them to demo but dont think it is all that easy I found that out myself. I just needed help on adding guns to the demo becasue you cant copy the effects file in the demo's sounds which gives each gun its owns sound.

AFAIK the Demo does not support mods... so why make them?

What do you mean by that of course the demo does

No, it doesnt. You cant make a demo version of, lets say, Navy SEALs. Id like to see these mods.

The Mods arent that complicated they are unlocking weapons or "modified" them also modifying the castle level like I already said before.

Well, for that, then you'd need IGOR to run server sided missions. That's all really. But you have to know what ATRs are included in the mod etc etc. And because IGOR doesn't come with the demo, that can be a royal PITA.

If you already have GR Gold, why not mod the full game?

Ok. Opening up a .gun file with Notepad isnt really modding. Id call it editing. Making changes to the map huh? So he did this with 3DSM, exported into the DEMO, and played with people who didnt have the edited version. Id love to see this.

SSR, IS RIGHT, I DONT NO HOW ITS SONE BUT PEOPLE WITH THE DEMO SEEM TO BE ABLE TO MAKE MODS. I HAVE SEEN WEAPON MODS AND FOGLESS MODS,AND GUN EMPLACEMENTS FOR THE DEMO. NOW THATS A TRULY DEDICATED FAN.

Please watch the Caps Lock, it looks like you're yelling.

And they may have modded kits and gun files, but I garantee you that there are no new gun models. Same with gun emplacements, all you need is IGOR. I could Make Hacker Hunt work on the Demo, it's a piece of cake (and a lot less work).

Yes your right Ruin, really all thats to it is "time" with igor but my point was unlocking the weapons, I've realized its a waste of time because when you do make a kit with the guns files that are hidden its just adding to the game, no real modding and if you tried to host all you have is just a "better" game, no real mods.
