Seems like SubwayTown has a few issues outside of the normal things I thought were problems. I uploaded a fix, but it's incredibly hard to test since I don't have a savegame up to that point. Not sure it's going to help or not. I'll test it when I get a chance to see.

The new version is v1.1, pending authorization.

I could look into it. Part of it would involve duplicating the "jobs/missions" but then re-triggering them either via the job board or after certain quests are done. Could be issues involved with duplicate quest items and such, but it might be possible. It would pretty much be the same exact mission though. Perhaps with some job triggers pulled out. It's an interesting idea that has me intrigued to see if I could pull it off. Could be tricky, so...no promises.

Hmm. Thanks for the feedback. I wonder if it's because I deleted the 1.3gb of extra .page files it generates on building. Really bloats the mod just to get a few gui texutres in. I'll have to do a clean install of the game to really check this out. Since I don't have that issue(could be strange cacheing from previous tests). Another person had a similar problem. Does it look like 4 question marks?

i luv et. great style in this game.

Perhaps. I just uploaded the un-bundled version as part of the download. Make's it twice as big, but at least you'll know all the files are there. Try that and see if it works.

Also, be sure to read the readmes...both of them, at least the install parts.

The search for xmbs should be your entire computer, not just the game folder.

If you got it unbundled, just put everything into english/local, but not the data folder. So, you'll have something like this:

local/english/lib
local/english/units
local/english/textures
...etc

as opposed to:

local/english/data/lib
local/english/data/units
...etc

Delete the bundle from the mod folder and run the game as you normally would(not the bp...bat file - though you could still use that). Alternately, you can edit the bp_context....xml to "point" to a different language folder, and move all of those folders outside of english into something more custom.

The problem with putting everything in the "english" folder is that it over-rides un-modded Graw2. However, if you want to go back to a normal Graw2, just rename english to something like x_english. This is all assuming you are using english as your language.

Let me know if you don't get any sound. That bundle is in the custom_levels folder, but hopefully it should still work.

Ah...bundles...they cause so much headache for people, I'm not sure why I bothered doing it this way. It's like a 50/50 chance it will work.

Definitely the "Stone" error means the game isn't reading all of the files in the mod bundle. Not sure why people have this issue. Did you try searching for .xmbs and delete them? Everything is in the correct place right?

Do you have anything else in the English dir? Try removing it all. I'll see about putting an un-bundled version up soon. Probably just combine them into one again. I was hoping this version would get rid of problems like you are experiencing.

Thanks. Yes it is, not sure how I got back into this, but it is fun. Never knew I could post images here. Cool. A lot of my images were axed when my internet provider switched me over to a new thing. This is eaiser to boot.

Hmm...need more info on the crash. Sorry you are having problems though.

Also, Gr.net was down all of yesterday. Unfortunately bad timing. Try again, since it's back up.

cool. i wonder if "grade school warfare" rolls of the tongue better then elementary school warfare. It's a play on Modern Warfare correct? Modern and Grade School have the same number of syllables. Just a thought.

Very cool. I like the idea. Seems like a lot of work. Are you planning to have fp weapons, or remain with just a ret like in the old game?

episode 3 may have turned into Half-Life 3 at this point.

Your install isn't reading the mod properly. You can try a few things to get it working which may or may not have any effect.

1. if you have a local/english dir, try renaming or deleting it. (strange but sometimes works)

2. try the un-bundled version (usually works for people with issues)

3. if you're on vista, there's a method to delete xmb(complied game) files, which can cause problems:

>>> To clean out XMB files in Vista, go to your user folder, into
>>> AppData/Local/GRAW2 and kill all XMB files except those in the
>>> "settings" folder. Then it will recompile with whatever mod you are
>>> using.
>>>
>>> It usually works.
>>>
>>> Remember that to stop using the mod you may need to to the same
>>> thing again.

Those are the 3 main solutions I can offer. Good luck.

We Recognize:
-Valve is a company with financial needs and cannot be expected to survive without the release of new games.
-Judgment cannot be passed on the quality of Left 4 Dead 2 until its release.
-Left 4 Dead was, and is, a quality game which deserves the praise of the entire gaming community.
~~~~~~~~

I don't think you guys actually do understand(ie recognize) what any of that means otherwise you wouldn't be having this boycott. "Judgement cannot be passsed....." Er, might want to rethink that one.

~~~~~~~~
-The release of Left 4 Dead 2 will make Left 4 Dead an obsolete purchase and inferior piece of software after only one year since release.
~~~~~~~~

If you played a game for a whole year, you f-ning got your money's worth and then some. Be greatful it was that damn good to keep your interst and stand in line for the next one if you want more. Or keep playing, WTF?

Here's something most of you need to wake up to. LIFE IS NOT FAIR. YOU ARE NOT A UNIQUE SNOWFLAKE. Sometimes people are not going to give you a free lunch, you'll just have to either make it yourself, or buy it. Boo-hoo they "promised!" My God, are you people that desperate for entertainment?

There is an acuPatch which will put the original unifroms back minus the helmets.

You think what they're making is only worth $10?

$40 is cheap in my opinion. I don't think they'd slap a 2 on it if they didn't think it was a full fledged game or delivered hours of replay(something most games lack). As for L4D1 being incomplete, I really don't get that. It does seem small compared to other games but people seem to be getting many hours of gameplay out of it. There are waaay worse games that cost more.

To me, if anyone is actually playing L4D right now - modded or otherwise - they have no right to demand anything. And on the other hand, if you played it for 4 hours and are done.....you probably gave up and don't give a sh!t about L4D2, 3, 4 in the first place yet are probably the one with the biggest gripe. Ironic.

If it's anything like the Blizzard expansions(not WoW), I'd go as low as $35...but $10...lol...You think Valve devs work for free? It could just be Game Over. No update, no sequel, no more L4D, no more Valve. Can you say Duke Nukem Forever?

You have a whole website DEDICATED TO FREE SH!T right here in the form of mods, and yet you demand more? MORE! And professionally made at that.

I'm not a fan of the boycott, but I'm also not so sure about a sequel one year later...not a real sequel to me, but an improvement on the previous "version" which is actually common in this generation of games. Ubisoft is notorious for it, R6Vegas, R6Vegas2, GRAW, GRAW2, etc. Prince of Persion - 2 Thrones?

The boycott comes off has childish and self-serving to me, especially the list of demands at the bottom. Everybody wants something for nothing right? Honestly, I can't see how a game this highly aclaimed leaves people feeling cheated. If you're still playing it today then you got your money's worth in my opinion. Hell, if you can play a game for longer then 10 hours on or off line these days then they've earned your dough.

However, despite the "gimme gimme i deserve it for free" mentality of the boycott, I do think there should/could be some solution. Maybe the game integrates and upgrades L4D1 making an uber game like IL-2 Sturmavik did with Pacific Fighters. This way people can play the game stand-alone or pick up the previous L4D and enhance it even more if you like it, creating even more sales...buy sequel then buy original to get more out of it, mix and match characters, weapons, etc. Or you just stick with L4D1 and get some engine updates. How all that works logistically, I don't know, but I think it could be cool.

As for pricing, the standard $10 DLC is probably not enough, but the standard $60 full price is probably too much. Somewhere between $40-$45 is about right in my mind. I guess it really depends on how much gameplay it delivers.

P.S. The video is funny. I've seen it dubbed for other things, but this one is good as well.

Glad you like it. Yes, the C4 planting is a pain now, try the back corner of ADATs, then look up. I am aware of it but forgot to mention it in the readme and not sure it can be fixed.

Nothing really new in content. Just allows you to play in 3rd person view with the mod. Oh wait...nope, it's the same. I think I wrote that in the description somewhere.

There are A LOT of limitations to modding GRAW(1 and 2), especially with regard to animations. I can't take the Full Auto mode off of the M16a4, there is no mode for semi+burst(well, actually there is, but it doesn't work as you can see). I could stick the M4 back to semi+auto, but then it wouldn't default to single fire. This was requested for mp/coop play since a bug gets you stuck in full auto mode. So, I just disabled burst by setting the burst count to zero, but you still have to cycle through it if you want to go full auto. There actually is an anim set for the shotgun, but I never bothered to update since people didn't have much interest in it, and the game has the collapsable stock version about the same time I put that in last year. I don't really want to spend time doing textures. I hate doing them. I just went for "exceptable" level.

Some people have to unbundle the mod to get it to work right. See page7, post #96 for info on how to do that.
