Unrar contents into GRAW2 installation folder.

Included files:
graw2_extended.bat <-- Start file for mod
graw2_extended_context.xml <-- Context file for mod
graw2_extended_readme.txt <-- Info file for mod
clean_xmb.bat <-- Support file to clean out old XMB files
mods/graw2_ext_152_alpha.bundle <-- Content file for mod

Correct placement of included files for mod to work (in case it got extracted somewhere else):
"your GRAW2 folder"/graw2_extended.bat
"your GRAW2 folder"/graw2_extended_context.xml
"your GRAW2 folder"/graw2_extended_readme.txt
"your GRAW2 folder"/clean_xmb.bat
"your GRAW2 folder"/mods/graw2_ext_152_alpha.bundle


=======( How to use )=======

To play the game with this mod, start the game by using the included graw2_extended.bat file.

To play the game without this mod, simply start the game by using the original graw2.exe file.

To use this mod while playing in MP as a player, you have to start the game with
the included BAT file and join a server running this mod.


!! You can not join a server not using this mod if you have started the game with the included BAT file !!


To setup a dedicated server to use this mod, these steps has to be followed:
1. Uploaded mod files to the server in the correct places as listed above.
2. Edit the context-standalone.xml file and add the tag
after the initial script tag.

Please see full README file for example start of context-standalone.xml file

3. Start up the server as normal.


========( Warnings )========
!! The extended draw distance increases the minimum hardware specs and will approximetly half your FPS. !!
!! I would recommend at least a duo core to run the game with this mod. !!

This mod will not work well with another mod in a local folder overriding it.

Although it should work with most custom levels out there, there is always the possibility that
mods may collide somewhere. Each custom level has to be tested for compatibility, which is easiest
done by running the game with the mod and starting a LAN server with the maps you want to test
and then simply starting each level. If it crashes, this mod won't work with that level for some reason.


======( Support Info )======
This mod was created by GRIN_Wolfsong in his own time; support is through the www.ghostrecon.net or www.theplatoon.com forums, not Ubisoft or GRIN.
