Incomplete Briefings

[Alchemist]

Hello all, what a great forum you guys have running here.

Right... am very into GR and play on an iBook 800mhz. Running the latest version and having a serious pain in the ass problem with some mods.

The Mods seem to run correctly accept for the fact that the briefing is incomplete. I can see only the first line and a bit of the briefing... I have to guess my way through the missions. This problem is happening in Saving Pilot Ryan and also in British Royal Marines.. which is a pain in the ass.

Any ideas??

P.S I have both IT and the desert mod installed and have them activated or not as the readme fils for the third party mods dictate.

The problem is that on the PC version modders could use special characters but on the Mac version you can't! I always thought this was a fault by the PC modders so I didn't look deeper into this issue until I realised it is a Maconly issue.

 Now all recently mods are checked for special characters but olders aren't. Well you can solve this problem yourself if you just go to the mission folder of each of your mod folders(Saving Private Ryan,..) and open the .mis files. There is a tag <briefing> or <briefing text> where it contains the briefing! You have to wipe out all special characters there and then save it again. Now the briefing will appear correctly!

Bye,

Mauti

Thanks mauti, your a legend!

Amazing site you have here! Are you a mac user? If so what system are you running?

Thanks again and take care. Just getting started on Frostbite. 2 Questions. Firstly, is there only meant to be one mission objective for the opening mission and secondly what other Mods should be running to make Frostbite work correctly?

Cheers for replying if you see this!

Thanks

Hi,

of course I'm a Mac user, hehe. I guess I wouldn't care much if I would sit in front of a PC. Well I'm using a very old, but still reliable, iMac G3 400 built in 1999. I only bring excisting PC mods to the Mac so I only deserve the credits for converting and testing.

You need at least your Mac Ghost Recon - Desert Siege Pack and a selfconversion of Island Thunder.

It depends on your difficult level how much mission objectives you have and Frostbite also adds a lot of objectives in between the game.

Bye,

Mauti
