- I have added 2 very cool Ghost Recon maps although they are only beta, try them out, especially in multiplayer - siege.
On a side note Snipey sent me an email that he reopened Blazenet, where you find tons of clan interviews.

 [New mods...] - [27.3.2003; 1:18:AM by *DAMN Mauti]

- It's been a while since my last update. Sorry about that but university keeps me busy.
I have added 2 new weapon mods, 1 medium sized map and a wonderful mission mod, NK's Ghost, that features very cool gameplay additions like Ghost Rescue. Rocky from GhostRecon.net described it best:
"...when the game starts, all of the players on the server are paired up and distributed around the map. Unfortunately they are unarmed, and guarded by kidnappers. One wrong move and they will be shot, and the game ends.
After the guards split them up, that's when the Rescuer comes in. One random player will be designated the "Rescuer" and will find himself alone, but with a single pistol! His job - to free the other Ghosts! This is quite cool in itself, but there is another neat aspect to this game - when (or if) the rescuer manages to take out a guards, he can collect his weapon and use it to complete the mission, taking out the other guards and freeing the other players..."
NK's Ghosts as well as many other new mods require Island Thunder(General all mods that have a (IT) at the end of the name). Some mods will only use some parts of IT while others will crash back to desktop.
Btw I upgraded the HX4 mod with the HX4 Hell-o-pack missions which feature a real air-to-air mission where you fight from your Black Hawk, and much more provided that you have Island Thunder and a very fast mac. About the mod requests: USMC skin mod and War of Infamy 2.1. USMC was aced(compress format I can't open on VPC) and WoI 2.1 has tons of to large filenames and requires a complex installer. At the moment I am to busy to fix it but I'll contact some friends so you should get them both within the next few weeks.
On a side note I have updated our *DAMN R6 Shop with some cool new movies from Gulf War documentations, Black Hawk Down, to Bowling for Columbine. All Medal of Honor fans can preorder the MoH expansion pack Spearhead. Furthers all ordered Island Thunder PC versions have successfully been shipped. Btw you know I am curious, so who has ordered the Gaia's Garden Palace book, hehe!? That's cool and all in all you support us if you buy things through our *DAMN R6 Shop.
Since the Island Thunder Mac patch I received several mails how to support us or to say thanks as a consequence I have added a PayPal Donate button at the right site at the "Supported By" category. Just scroll down the screen. Every support and donation is welcome. Thank you very much.
Also I got the first mail orders for the full Island Thunder Mac Edition. Check your mails, and please don't forget to post at the forum or send me a mail so I can prepare everthing and you get your full IT Mac version faster.
Wow what a large news post ;) - Have a nice day, keep playing, yours,
Mauti

- I guess only a handful gamers noticed that there was still a screwed texture at the central building railings in mission 8. I updated the patch and all guys and gals that downloaded the patch before the 18th march can download the missing texture.
Just expand it and drop it into the Mp2/Map/c08_Mountain_Stronghold folder.

- Hi guys, great news for all guys that wanted a full Island Thunder Mac Edition because they couldn't convert it on their own. The shipping and package costs could be reduced to 10 US Dollar/Euro. Thanks to my mom's relations ;)

PS.: About Ghost Recon mods - I am currently very busy at university but probably tonight I'll upload some new GR mods...

- First I am really surprised about the giant response I got about the Island Thunder Mac patch. However it seems there are some misunderstandings in general:
First the Mac patch doesn't contain the Island Thunder movies - the patch only makes them playable so if you have deleted them you won't see them.
Furthers the MPEG4 Codecs are optional installs and doesn't replace the Easy Install Package. If you only install the codecs no IT file will be patched.
Yes the 5th mission Rapid Python runs with a very low framerate on most systems but that's something I can't influence. Must be a high polygon count or something else.
About mod priority: the Ghost Recon mod list is inverted that means the mod at the top of the list has always the lowest priority. So if you activate Island Thunder or any other mods be sure that they are the lowest mod item in the list.
The positive feedback about IT was amazingly. Btw I got some mails that worry about the strict agreement. - Guys I just have to backup my actions but at all you can trust me and if you have sent me your mail you will get your Island Thunder Mac Edition.
Bye,
Mauti

- Finally it is done! With an almost perfect teamwork between Scot, Dan, Vin and myself the Island Thunder Mac patch is out. First I want to take few seconds to thank all guys that helped us out because without you the patch would have never made it furthers I want to thank you for your patience ;)
Alright you can get the Island Thunder Mac patch at our Mac Downloads.
You can buy the full Island Thunder PC version at our *DAMN R6 Shop. Currently it costs only 14.99US Dollar or used 12.99 US Dollar(shipping within 24hours).
By the way our Get your own full Island Thunder Mac Edition campaign starts today! So there is really no reason why you shouldn't own a Mac version of Island Thunder!
You still don't know what Island Thunder is!? - It is an expansion pack for Ghost Recon that takes you to Cuba. Read an Island Thunder review @ GhostRecon.net.
*Update*: About legal troubles with offering a full version of IT: there are none - it is required that you own the PC version so it is legal as long as no Mac Company has purchased the IT license. I don't sell IT I just offer a modified version of the PC disc. You only pay for the transport costs. If you buy the PC IT version you buy one single license to use the game. Doesn't matter on which system.
Island Thunder™
- the first full available community conversion of a commercial product! -
Best wishes,
a proud Mauti ;)

- Great news for all anti spawn campers! I have added a mod called Random Respawns where your team doesn't respawn in a teamzone. Check it out at our Mac Downloads.
About Island Thunder: to clear some rumors you won't need the Island Thunder PC cd to play IT you only will need the IT CD, VPC or a PC to get the Island Thunder files to your Mac Desktop.
Island Thunder is a commercial expansion pack so you won't get the full version here. We will only offer a patch that fixes all bugs even the small ones so you don't have a difference to the PC version.
Yes it is true that few beta patches, probably the beta stuff created by Scot on 21st february, are spreading in Game Ranger. However there are still tons of bugs.
In my last post about IT I wrote I hope I can get it out early this week. Obviously we didn't get it. However a 4th person joined the IT team and so I hope I can finish it tomorrow. But as usual no promises. To organize a team all over the globe isn't that easy.
Here are some parts of the IT Mac Patch readme, may this answers some questions:
Ghost Recon/Island Thunder Mac Patch
for Mac OS 9 & X, version 1.0
NOTE: It is required that you own a copy of the PC Ghost Recon Expansion Pack Island Thunder. Furthers a PC or Virtual PC, www.connectix.com, is necessary to get the files from the PC CD on your Mac. Also it is important that you have patched Ghost Recon to version 1.4. ...
Island Thunder Mac Patch 1.0
The installer looks automatically for the Mp2(Island Thunder) folder. If you have more than one copies on your Mac please select the Mp2 folder you want to patch.
The Island Thunder movies use a Microsoft MPEG4 codec Quicktime 6 can't view. If you don't have upgraded Quicktime with 3rd party MPEG4 plugins you can additional install MPEG4/DIVX codecs for Mac OS 9 & X. Just click on the Easy Install drop down bar and 2 other install options will appear. It is required that you restart after the installation of the plugins.
The Island Thunder Mac Patch isn't an official patch as a consequence it isn't supported by Aspyr, Redstorm neither UbiSoft. For help please visit www.damnr6.com
The Mac patch fixes several texture alpha channel issues, long filename problems, movie issues and more. After running this patch Island Thunder runs as it does on a PC.
Island Thunder Mac is full network comaptible with PC versions.
The system requirements of Island Thunder are above the original system requirements. ...
