ABSquad's Ultimate Realoism Pack Update
v9.00. This will update all previous versions

AB-Saiga 12gauge shotgun to the weapons listing.
The BIGGEST difference that you will find between this
Web site and others that offer downloads for the various flight
simulations is that whenever possible I have attempted to create an
"installation" program for the downloads...No more having to
create folders, and then copying and/or moving files. The installation
program does all of this for you...AUTOMATICALLY. So, where possible,
all you have to do is to simply double-click on the installation program
and enjoy! I strongly encourage you to visit the
Installation
Program page to see how this program works before
downloading any of the wonderful add-ons from this site. To start your
experience, simply click on one of the links to the left.
Below is the recommended
order for the mods and map add-ons using either the "Ghost
Recon Mod Manager" program, through the game itself or by
modifying the "modsset.txt" file. Keep in mind that the item at
the BOTTOM get the highest priority in the game:

MISSIONS:
ALL OF
THE AB MISSIONS LISTED BELOW REQUIRE THAT YOU HAVE THE "GOLD
EDITION" OF GHOST RECON, THE LATEST VERSION OF
ABSquad's
Ultimate
Realism Pack, ALL OF THE
AB
MAPPACKS (AB01 THRU AB15) AND THE
HX5 RED SUN
MOD INSTALLED BEFORE INSTALLING THE MISSIONS.
ABSquad's Mission Pack v1.50
(1.85MB). This mission pack replaces
all missions found in the previous mission packs:
ABSquad's
Co-Op Defend & Firefight Missions v2.00, AB
Defend 2 Missions and ABSquad's
SOAF Mappack Co-Op Missions. Newer versions
of the missions will be added periodically until all have been tweaked for
online multiplayer use. By:
AB_Lt_Cmd_Riker.
NOTE:
ABSquad's Ultimate
Realism Pack and
HX5 Red Sunmust be installed in order for this mappack to work
properly. This version includes all files found in the original release.
ABSquad's
North Korea Missions v1.00 (11.5MB).Straight
out of today's headlines: The North Koreans are at it again. You recently
read in the newspapers where the North Koreans launched not one, but
SEVEN, ballistic missile tests in conjunction with their renewed nuclear
testing program. The United States and her Allies treat this as a HIGHEST
national security risk, even though official announcements have played the
incident down. Take a ride with the Ghosts in this five mission set as
they attempt to neutralize the threat. Re-work of the missions to
accommodate the new ABSquad's Mission Sound Pack v2.00. By:
AB_Lt_Cmd_Riker.
NOTE: ABSquad's Ultimate
Realism Pack,
HX5 Red Sun,
ABSquad's Mappack AB10
and ABSquad's Mappack AB12 must be installed in order for these missions to work
properly.
Defend
Extra Missions(1.20MB). New "defend" missions with
"extra" bad guys! By: Unknown. NOTE: This
self-install will create backups of all files replaced, giving them an
".org" extension.
MODS:
07/05/2010.
ABSquad's Ultimate
Realism Pack v9.00 (378MB). New
weapons, maps and kit restrictions for Ghost Recon! Please view the special
installation
instructions below before attempting to install this mod. You must delete any previous version of the
Ultimate Realism Pack before
installing this new "full" version. This will ensure avoiding
compatibility issues, as well as to ensure that everybody is using the
same version of the Realism Pack.
By:
AB_Lt_Cmd_Riker.
NOTE: You will also need to re-install
ABSquad's Mission Pack v1.50. This version
includes the update mentioned below. To make the download as small as possible, I have used
WinRAR to compress
and "split" the file into more manageable sizes for download
purposes:
1. Save ALL of the WinRAR files to the
same temporary directory (this is a must).
2. Double-click on the "gr_absquads_desert_siege_realism_pack_v9_00.part1"
file. Use WinRAR to extract the contents of the WinRAR file,
"gr_absquads_desert_siege_realism_pack_v9_00.exe", to a temporary
directory. This is the actual executable file.
3. Once extracted, double-click on the
"gr_absquads_desert_siege_realism_pack_v8_50.exe" file to install the
Ultimate Realism Pack.
07/05/2010.
ABSquad's Ultimate Realism Pack Update
v9.00 (24.4MB).
This will update all previous versions of
ABSquad's Ultimate Realism Pack to v9.00, and adds the Soviet
AB-Saiga 12gauge shotgun to the weapons listing.
NOTE: Please
read the following in order to assure a clean installation of ABSquad's
Desert Siege Realism Pack. This has to be done only ONCE:
The
self-install program I use is set up not to overwrite "read
only" files on your computer. This is done to avoid accidentally
overwriting critical system files, which are typically set as "read
only". The problem is that Ghost Recon by default sets a lot of its
files as "read only" - files that really do not need to be set
up like that (Example: texture files, mission files, etc.). This will
cause the Realism Pack to fail to install if you do not remove the "read
only" status from the Ghost Recon folder structure. In order to
do this, please follow these instructions BEFORE
attempting to install the Realism Pack. Again, this only has to be done
ONCE:
WINDOWS
XP/VISTA/7:
Open
Windows Explorer and navigate to the following directory: C:\Program
Files\Red Storm Entertainment\Ghost Recon.
In
the LEFT window pane, click on the "Ghost Recon"
sub-folder once to "highlight" the folder name.
Move
the mouse over the "Ghost Recon" folder and click the RIGHT
mouse button. Your screen should look similar to the image below:
.
Choose
"Properties..." from the options listed. Another
window will open.
Near
the bottom of the window, you will see an "Attributes:"
section.
You
should see a check mark (slightly grayed out) next to the "Read-only"
option. Your screen should look similar to the image below:
Click
in the check box to remove the Read-only option. Your screen should
look similar to the image below:
Click
the "Apply" button located in the lower right corner
of the window. Your screen should look similar to the image below:
Windows
will ask you to confirm the changes. Put
a bullet by the option "Apply changes to this folder,
sub-folders and files". Your screen should look similar to
the image below:
Click
the "OK" button. Your screen should look similar to the
image below:
You
will see an indicator as Windows applies the attributes to the folder,
sub-folders and files. The time indicated may be extreme (10 minutes
or more), but it will only actually take a couple of seconds to
complete. Your screen should look similar to the image below:
Click
the "APPLY" button and then click the "OK" button to finish
the process. Your screen should look similar
to the image below:
HX4 (28.5MB).
With 100 Weapons, 280+ useful kits that encourage squad-based gameplay,40
defense missions, 20 new MP map scenarios, 15 coop missions with
objectives, 16 new multiplayer kit restrictions, including 4 international
kit lists unique to each platoon and much more. Includes the new HX4
Hell-O-Pack. By: =DRAG=.
Ghost
Recon v1.3 Patch (47MB). Get the
official patch to update Ghost Recon to v1.3 from Ubisoft.
NOTE: This patch is not required if
you have the "Gold Edition" of Ghost Recon, and does
not
include the "Gold Edition" files (Desert Siege and Island Thunder).
Ghost
Recon v1.4 Patch (5.87MB). Get the official patch to update
Ghost Recon to v1.4 from Ubisoft.
NOTE: This patch is not required if
you have the "Gold Edition" of Ghost Recon, and does
not
include the "Gold Edition" files (Desert Siege and Island Thunder).
UTILITIES:
AB Flame Thrower and AB Incinerator Red Smoke Effect
(135KB). This file will create shortcuts
that allow you to switch between the red smoke used by the AB Flame
Thrower and the AB Incinerator. NOTE: When using the red
smoke textures for the Flame Thrower and Incinerator, all smoke used by
AT-4 rockets will also be red. Use the "Deactivate Flamethrower Smoke"
shortcut to return to the original white rocket smoke.
By:
AB_Lt_Cmd_Riker.
ABSquad's Delete
Ghost Recon ".but" File (35KB). Ghost Recon has a slight bug
where if you install a new mission/map/mod, and then later turn it off and
try to join a multiplayer game, the game can sometimes crash. To correct
this bug, delete the "current.but" file, restart the game, and
you should then be able to join a multi-player game. This program, in
effect, will "wipe your but" for you, deleting the "current.but"
file automatically. Run this program before playing GR each time you add a
new mission or map and especially after activating or
deactivating a new mod add-on. Added a shortcut on the desktop (for
convenience). By: AB_Lt_Cmd_Riker.
Ghost
Recon Essentials v1.2 (2.26MB). This program replaces many functions
available within Ghost Recon to provide ease of customization without the
unnecessary loading and reloading of the game. This is a major revision of
the previously released "Ghost Recon Toolkit". Gives you the
ability to customize game settings including reticule color, the ability
to customize general, multiplayer, sound and graphics settings, remap game
play keys to suit your style of play and even includes a "MOD
Manager" to activate mod files before launching GR. By: Steve
Rad.
Ghost
Recon v1.4 No CD Script (6.48MB). Now play GR without having to
load the CD-ROM. Requires v1.4 (Ghost Recon "Gold" Edition) be
installed.
Ghost
View v1.0 (105KB). Ghost View allows free camera movement around Ghost Recon maps in a 3D environment.
By: Ronin
Igor
Guide v1.0 (2.35MB). This is a guide to using the GR "IGOR"
game editing tool. By: Unknown.
Kit
Constructor (174KB). This program allows you to create (.kit) files
which are used in Ghost Recon for weapons combinations. Not satisfied with
the original weapons combinations in Ghost Recon? Create more and use them
in the game. By: Firefly2442.
Mod Manager
(18KB). This program is used instead of the Mod options screen in Ghost
Recon which NEVER EVER _EVER_ lets you turn on the RIGHT mods - it just
adds the one on the top of the list, not the one that you have selected.
This program puts an end to that: it means that not only can you choose
the mod INSTANTLY - you no longer have to restart Ghost Recon to have it
enabled! Just launch GR and there it is - in the Mod options window. By:
GAK_Firestar.
Paint
Shop Pro v7.00 RSB Plug-In (68.5KB). This will install the RSB plug-in
for PSP v7.00, allowing you to use PSP to edit the texture files (.rsb) in
GR. By: Unknown.
RSB Tool
v1.00 (51KB). This program will currently work on 16 bit (565) as well
as 24 and 32 bit RSB file formats. You can select multiple files and it
will automatically determine the format of the file and convert it to TGA.
By: Bruce Lewis.
Server
Side Support Weapon Fix (188KB). Helps to prevent Ghost Recon crashes from
players who use "support" and "full auto" weapons.
This fix is for standard Ghost Recon maps and weapons only. It DOES
NOT fix weapons in Desert Siege Maps, Island Thunder maps or mod
installed weapons (HX5, DA4.9, etc.). This fix also retains the range,
accuracy, fire rate and scope attributes of all weapons from the original
Ghost Recon Weapons and are not altered or enhanced. This fix is
"server-sided" - only the Host requires it to be installed. Also
includes a "restore" program to return all Ghost Recon weapon
files to the original "default" files. By: Unknown.
