Hi all, finally got off my arse and bought IT.
Downloaded i6comp and extracted data1 and data2 cabs. Am I right in assuming that I only need to use those Group folders lablleled with mp2 and that all other files already exist in my GhR directory as part of the initial GhR/DS install and 1.4 update.

BTW thanks to all who have contributed in this upcoming patch (I wont name names as I'm sure to miss someone).

WHEN CAN WE GET IT!!!!

Hi guys,

I have a fix for IT, if any of you are interested.  You have to fiddle with the graphics settings a bit (adjust tree settings, and turn graphics up a bit higher, if not all the way), but it DOES work.  Absolutely NO origami in my games now.  You really notice it on maps like High Sierra, etc.  Been playing with it for the past two weeks. (G4/466/512-Radeon 8500).

Hi thanks for your offer. However we also have those fixes done since 21st february(downloadable at Scot's website). We only want to fix all small bugs as well so there won't be a difference between Mac and PC on any settings.

Bye,

Hey Mauti,

I downloaded the .sitx file on Scot's website but i can't open it.... do you know what the problem is???

thanx

You need the latest update for Stuffit Expander and you can only open it in OS X. However I just received my last texturess(which hopefully work now) so the patch will be online tomorrow!

Bye,

Hi!

I got Island Thunder, "installed" it on VPC, dragged the mp2 folder to my mac GR folder, and applied Scot's Mac Fix.

unfortunatly two things happened, one is that the colors are messed up in certain placed (the max fix is not working) the other is that all sound is at equal volume, (enemy shooing is as loud as my own.)

What have I done wrong, I am using the latest Ghost Recon patch.

[*DAMN Mauti]

Scot's Mac fix is a very early beta version of the Mac patch that will probably come out tomorrow(if I get the right textures). About the sound I didn't notice any troubles here.
The IT sounds are untouched as all sounds used in mods available at our Mac Archive.

Bye,

Mauti

[WSTE_M]

I just reinstalled Ghost Recon AND LOST ALL OF MY CAMPAINS, and unfortunatly the sound is still messed up. I think that only ONe sound is has its volume messed up, that is the AK shooting gunfire (iThink) could this be a clue ?

[Boom]

I installed the IT patch and everything works fine except for the movies still, I installed the MPEG4 OSX version  but it says it cant read the file,

Boom

[*DAMN Mauti]

You have to restart and start a new campaign then it will show you the movie at all glory. Furthers you should have installed Quicktime 6 but I think that comes with MacOSX. If it still doesn't work: the MPEG4 codecs are named:

msmpeg4v1.component
msmpeg4v2.component

They get installed in your user's library quicktime components folder. May it doesn't install them properly if you have more user accounts on your MacOSX. Select the install location manually or search the files and drag and drop them manually.

About the sounds: well you have to live with them - we use the original IT sound volume settings(effects.xml). You could only modify the sound files or the effects.xml  manually and lower the volume.

Good luck,

Mauti

[WSTE_M]

Thanks Mauti!
That is correct I found the effects.xml file in the mp2 and the mp1 folders and compared the two.

I have found out that the xml file is completely messed up, I have no idea how that could have happened...
Look at this:

<Entry Filename = "w_ags17_fs.wav" Length = "6.675" Min = "12.000" Max = "2000" Rolloff = "400"/>

notice that the minumum volume is 12.000 while the maximm is 2000! no wonder enemy shooting was way higher volume then mine.

odd. I dont know why its like that...
I tied opening the one in VPC, it has the same values... why is it like that ? or do I have it all backwards ?

W

[*DAMN Mauti]

Don't ask me probably only RedStorm can answer this but many files have higher min sounds than max sounds so It think it's normal.

Bye,

Mauti

To wste :

I had the same problem on a number of mod and found that converting the file to aif kept the job done. no need to modify anything in any of the xml files in my case.
Mileage seems to vary, but this is what fixed the issue for me ;)

And hurray, the patch is out \^o^/ (ok i'm a bit slow...)

hey guys,
I just installed the Island Thunder patch, and now the game crashes every time I try to start an island thunder campaign (crashes after the first level finishes loading) any ideas?  

[*DAMN Mauti]

Did you apply the patch to an excisting Mp2 folder? The patch requires the PC Island Thunder files or it won't work.

Bye,

Mauti

yes I did of course

[*DAMN Mauti]

Hmm very strange because the campaign is playable with and without patch... Do you have the 1.4 patch installed? That's required to play IT. If you are using the 1.4 version, please start GR and start a new IT campaign and when it crashes open the lke.log file at your Ghost Recon Folder and post it here.
