Pretty sure I'm the only person around who has the entire Green Berets collection. This is one plugin I've had 10 years, and maybe once or twice actually played the multiplayer maps with another person. Much like TSG multi maps and other 3rd party maps, they are pretty unique and fairly intricate. The default gametype setups give me some good ideas to changing the maps around and adding reg units on it. Could easily become tournament maps if they end up playing well. Still in the process of thinking about which units to use, but I'm thinking a mix of poison holiday/great divide/hvergilmir will be neat.

Thing is, I don't even know where to get started. I have virtually never touched fear/loathing (aside from formations), and I'm not sure how to access the maps since they are Green Beret maps, which also require the use of an old 1.3 patch in order to work in the first place. Thanks for the help.

you would be suprised then to find that there are at least a few people here who have the green beret "collection".

there was a project by one or more of the creators (i remember Ozone working on it not sure if anyone else was) of the GreenBeret plugin/conversion to update.modernize the modern warfare of GB and take advantage in features of more recent versions of Myth2- don't know if it was ever officially released as anything more complete than a beta. it was called 'Special Forces 2'.

Because green berets is sold separately as a new game, there may be some issues with uploading it (even modified), which is why no one else has it. Surely nothing stopping you from messing with it, but you might try and track down the author(s) and make sure its ok before uploading to the tain.

These maps may get redone in the near future, it might be worth it to wait for them and then there wouldn't be any issues. Dont quote me on that...

Keep your eyes on the Tain over the next few days/weeks Krok.

Something may surface there that would greatly aid you in any future editing endeavors you choose to pursue... Easier than using your aforementioned 1.3 patch version. Not sure I can officially say any more than this, I believe the details are still being worked out.

Alright, but while I'm at it, I have the fear+loathing programs from 1998 and never made any updates or changes to them. Do such things exist?

There are updated ones that always come with the latest Myth2 update. So grab the 1.7.1 installer and choose the option that will install Fear and Loathing.

I have a 1.2 version of Green Berets in my plugins, which works as a plugin and a units tagset (and seems to work ok with 1.7). I have no idea who made this and where I got it in the first place, and whether all meshes really work, but it looks decent at first sight.

all i know that in order to make anything green berets functional, i have to swap this patch in and out. i can leave all other plugins/patches in my plugins folder, but when i insert this patch, it wont let me join any other netgames or anything else.
