Greetings [SAS]Officer, SNCO's, NCO's, Troopers and [SAS] Friends,
I have marked on the calandar a Ghost Recon Night for Jan 26, 2008.
I will be starting the server around 1800 GMT.
As not all of us have both of the expansion packs... I will be running Ghost Recon original patched to version 1.4
If you want to attend you will need to find and download each of the following....
SAS Equipment Mod - 24.2 mb file
http://files.3dretreat.com/display.asp?catid=89&order=dcount
Tage Des Zorn (Days of Anger) Campaign - 209 mb file
http://www.ghostrecon.net/files2/index.php?act=view&id=758
Days of Anger is a 12 mission campaign pack, we will attempt the missions in order... sort of like doing a Ghost Recon Live Op...
Hope to see you there... as GR limits us to 9 players in COOP mode... we will have 8 vacancies... preference will be given to [SAS] Members, RCT's and Cadets over our [SAS] Friends and General public.

is it the 26th(topic) or 28(post)?
You can close your eyes for things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart for things you don't want to feel
I dont have Ghost Recon. But seeing the response at your last GR night, I might have to buy it.
Seems like they got 1 copy left at my internet store....hmmm.......
Ambu
You can buy nearly any kind of game on this site http://www.amazon.com and the prices are usually quite affordable. Just do a search for Ghost Recon.

En4cers post reads 2008-01-28 and the topic reads 2008-01-26 true...
The Calednar says 2008-01-26 so I would guess that is the proper date.
I just wish Walmart still had Ghost Recon gold edition :@ !!!
Yep I goofed... thanks for catching it...
The GR night is the 26th...

I've been unable to get the Days of Anger mod to run correctly, once I enable it and try to launch one of the missions Ghost Recon crashes to desktop. I just dropped the Tage des Zorns folder into the GR mods folder. Can someone please tell me if I'm installing it right or why it isn't working. Thanks.

Hey Chester,
The Days of Anger folder should appear as a sub folder within the MODS folder... within the Ghost Recon folder.
That should be the correct location.... also... don't forget to activate the mod... in the options menu...
Let me know how that goes for you...

The Original Version of GR can be Downloaded for 9.95 from Direct2drive.com
(they did not have the Gold Edition unfortuantly, but I believe if your running Mods, all you would need id the Original Version to Mod to)
and of coarse theres ubi.com

Spawn,
Your correct... since many people are having trouble getting the Expansion packs... I stuck with the original program only... just need to be specific when looking for playable maps... many require either the Desert Seige or Island Thunder packs to operate.
The local computer store by me has the Ghost Recon Platnium case...
Steel cary case.. with GR logo.
T-Shirt with GR logo
Baseball Cap with GR Logo
Ghost Recon with Both Expansions on DVD...
and some other odds and ends.... sells for around $25 I think.... so the game is still alive and kicking.... just got to find the hidding spots.

It is a shame that I have to work. I was looking forward to a good GR game.
Maybe next time.
SAS_VET_Centurion. And that is my $.02 Cdn. worth!!! Just because I am 51, does not mean I am old!
Once I extracted the Tage_des_Zorns folder from the .rar. I placed the folder Tage des Zorns which is the subfolder of Tage_des_Zorns in the "E:\Program Files\Red Storm Entertainment\Ghost Recon\Mods Folder. Then I go to options and enable the mod, and attempt to load from the campain the first mission and in an MP game various missions, all resulting in crashes. Any ideas why it keeps crashing?
EDIT: With Nimloth's help the issue has been resolved.

Chester.. and everyone else...
The person who made the map, and created the RAR file forgot to include the fact that the MOD requires DS and IT to run.
So those of you who downloaded it... keep it... I tested it and it looks cool...
I will download some server side missions... for us to test...
I will update here when done..

Get a load of this.... A campaign of Server Side Missions... which means only I have to download them... the rest of you just join and play...
Here is the write up...
Now doesnt that sound like an [SAS] / GR environment !!

Good Find there Captain!!
May be usefull for upcoming projects too
When i get the Mod that En4cer originally posted, i will rewrite the installer, if it doesnt work correctly. We cant have our members using packages that just dont match the standard of our gameplay now...can we? :w
Lt_Col WIZ, VC, MiD (Ret)
Wiz,
It is not that the installer works incorrectly... in fact it works fine...
The problem is that the docs fail to mention that you must have the DS and IT expansion packs active for it to work... The file description was written to reflect that you only needed the main game...
When I checked the file out... it installed correctly... and it showed all the maps in the server menu... when I tested it.. I had negelected to turn off the DS and IT EP's and it worked fine... when I deactivated the EP's GR crashed everytime...
There is nothing wrong with the download, it just requires DS and IT to run... unfortunately... most of the GR stuff requires those files to run...
So a big hint to our GR players... crack open the wallets... and get the parts you need. Beg, borrow or steal.. but go get it.

Bottom Line...
Need GR w/ DS and IT add-ons...
Need By Saturday....
(GR Gold Edition has all three Packages)
only thing missing is Server IP...
I would like to join in, if in fact 8 members do not attend..
Ok En4cer..understood

5 copies left @ freerecordshop karl johan(egertorget)!!
Im gonna go get myself a copy after paperwork is done, so ill be able to join you guys.
Pretty amazing that they still sell this 6-7 year old game in a store like freerecordshop. That particular freerecordshop at Karl Johan is pretty large though.
Had a real Great time playing GR, after you brush the cobwebs off it, it played pretty Good...Great to meet as many SAS members as I did, Thank You for the Games..
(personelly, I think GR afternoons are under-rated and should be enjoyed more often..) :roll: hint hint
Amen Spawn, ggs.
The pleasure was all ours Spawn. Keep up the good work mate.
