Welcome to the GRAW2 coop creation wiki. 

The aim of this wiki is to act as a central repository for the GRAW 2 coop mission creation community. To share our knowledge and collaborate with the ultimate aim of creating a repository of information that new and experienced modders alike can use to create new coop missions for GRAW2.

As a wise man once said, "Give a man a mission and he will play for a day. Teach him how to make missions and we will all be playing GRAW for a long time." or something like that.

Overview of this wiki

Purpose

The aim of this wiki is to act as a central repository for the GRAW 2 coop mission creation community. To share our knowledge and collaborate with the ultimate aim of creating a repository of information that new and experienced modders alike can use to create new coop missions for GRAW2.

 

It was originally started by Davros as a place where the members of ghostrecon.net could come to store their nuggets of knowledge rather than being spread across a variety of posts in the forums.

 

Scope

Limited to ubi's Ghost Recon: Advanded Warfighter 2 (GR:AW2) game.

Limited to the creation of coop missions.

Excluded the creation of maps and other game mods.

 

Definitions and Acronyms

See separate page here.

This is a very helpful wiki for someone like me who is trying to generate some new co-op maps ...... I only have two problems if I may ask them here ? 1) how do I create a world.xml file ? it seems to ignore the one in the xml folder. 2) what do I need to do with my modded coop_urban_conflict map in order to pass it on to others ? Many thanks for the wiki .... its wikid !!

Only one other thing to add .... the vids are very helpful too ...... brilliant work ... we are not worthy .... hopefully soon I may be able to contribute

Thanks Legacy for taking the time to post. Glad you like it, and look forward to your contribution (and mission).

re. Q1, Have you deleted all the .xmb files in your mission folder? They are compiled .xml's and if they exist, take precidence over the "raw" .xml. You do not need them, so just delete them from the mission folder. I'll make that a bit clearer in the wiki. Try that and post over at ghostrecon.net if you are still having problems.

Re. Q2/ publishing your coop mission, I've yet to write that secion of the wiki....but will start to write this up tonight. It's basically the exact reverse of the unbundle. You put all your mission files in a folder and run the bundler to bundle them into a .bundle file. Done.

Suggest the best way to ask more questions is to register at the forums over at ghostrecon.net (or this section of the wiki will get very long!) Post your coop making questions in :GR:AW 2 - Mission Modding". There are a number of experienced modders over there and hopefully, a few new ones too.

Once again, thanks so much for taking the time to create a mission.

Hi Guys

Been wanting to try my hand at this for a while. My Girlfriend just loves the maps / missions that have been produced so we decided that we would try our hand at setting up a coop game.

Thanks for all the effort that you guys have put into the resurgances of GRAW2
