Wow. Where to start... Well, here I go!
To Mr. Recon (Guest),
if i try to connect to game-ranger since the last gr-update for mac i get this message at every join:
NON-STANDARD MODIFICATIONS
Non-standard modifications were detected in your install of ghost recon. Please re-install it
Scott Kevill of GameRanger has developed a plug-in for Ghost Recon that detects any modifications to the original game data. Since items such as Full Screen Night Vision are considered cheats, the GameRanger Servers will not let you join all of those games. If you feel that you have not modified any of the original game files, you probably received an improper copy from a friend. The original disc, updated to 1.0.3, will get you into any of the games that are open in GameRanger, provided that the host of a game does not have specific mods activated other than mp1.
Furthermore, the new "anti-cheat plug-in" was developed because of people like you. Thanks for giving Scott Kevill more work to do. I'm sure he appreciates it.
if i join now a server with a "damnmappack" or a "newdamnmappack" i cant join (unnessesarily to say that people dont write down the link or the exact name which of the mappacks from here they use, and i cannot see here which downloads are new)
*Damn Map Pack 1, also known as *DBL MP1, or newmappack, is a
NEW mod. It is a mod, just like Island Thunder, Frostbite, Navy Seals, etc. It must be placed in your mod folder in your Ghost Recon Data folder. The installed for the *DAMN Map Pack 1 mod is a Vise Installer that will install the mod for you. Remember, you do not need to activate mods to play them. If you are simply joining a game, you only need to have the mod placed in your mod folder. If you are hosting a public room, or are playing in single player mode, you will have to activate the mods under the Options tab inyour Main Menu in your legal copy of Ghost Recon. If you need this mod, you can download it from these two locations:
?
The Core Clan?
File Planetif use mods from here and it is not on the server, i cannot join etc etc
The things that prevent you from joining a room:
? Modifying original game files.
? Not having the proper, authorized mods in your mod folder.
? The host has blocked you.
and this is all since gameranger make this update and ghost recon is updated to 1.03
You have to have version 1.0.3 to join Ghost Recon games in GameRanger.
this all is a bit boring
You seem to have posted a thread in which all of the information you are looking for has already been posted over the past year on this very forum.
im not shure that im willing to take care a few days for some modifications to play with others
A few days? If you were to take Ghost Recon fresh out of the box, you could be playing online in a GameRanger room within 20 minutes, and that's with updates. Whatever you are doing is evidently not working, but since everyone else seems to be able to play, it must be you.
this all should he handled more easy
What's difficult about this? When you buy a game, it is usually working piece of software. All of the updates for the game are given by
Aspyr Media. You can also find a quick guide to updating your original copy of Ghost Recon
here. GameRanger updates itself, so you shouldn't have any problems there either.
the fun is out in some way
The fun is in the game. But your idea of fun seems to be modifiying games files to gain an advantage. If you feel that your "fun" is being diminished because you cannot seem to figure out how to get your illegal copy working, or to get your non-standard modifications working, then buy a PC and join the rest of the Video Game Cheaters. Side note: Beware of Punkbuster.
it is just like you spend a 5 year old kid a pc or a mac and maya and then you say "do it" to the kid
Considering there are a handful of "kids" out there who are 10 and 11, and they seemed to have been able to figure this stuff out, I think you're on your own in that argument. Personally, I do not feel that anyone under the age of 13 should be playing this game. That's only because of the content.
its far more better then hanging around for a week for modifications which dont let me join wtf ever server there on gameranger
What have you actually been hanging around for? From what I understand, you contacted GameRanger to find out how to get your illegal copy of Ghost Recon to work. That's not too bright.
yet i can join at least 5 servers from 20, and that sucks 
Again, if you are using a legal copy, and one that is properly updated, you should be able to join all games, provided that you have installed any mods into your mod folder that the host might have activated.
so, thank you for your kind help here in general, i like that and software and gamemakers and also the doodes from gameranger should learn from DAMN R6 
If it wasn't for the "doodes" at GameRanger, you wouldn't have a place to place anyway. Besides, the "doodes" at GameRanger (Scott Kevill) is only trying to service this virtual community by helping to stop cheaters and such. You should thank him.
In closing, try thinking a little bit before you post. Everything you have said falls under two categories: Misinformed & Immature.
I hope the info I have given you helps you to play online in GameRanger.
