The TOZ 34, along with a few other of the new shotguns have this problem. I have spent some time trying to fix it but failed. The weird thing is that I remember the vanilla M14 had the exact same problem and I did manage to fix that, but now I'm stumped. Since it only affects the visual aspect, it's not like you'll shoot the back of your head off, I'll leave it until I have some time to investigate it further.

I am aware of the loose ammo loss and haven't figured out a way to fix it yet.

The M4 CQBR has been added already, but wont be available until the next release:

The patches for the Blue Sun uniforms can be found in the same directory as the uniform textures. To find which one to change you need to check the \INI\SOLDIEREPAULETS file, it points to the texture file depending on what uniform you have edited.

The pixel error might be a case of screwed-up mipmaps or they get stretched in a weird way resulting in that error. Since they only are visible at certain zoom levels it prolly is one of the mipmap images that is the problem.

/\/\/\/\/\ Thanks for the quick response! I wouldn't worry about the loose ammo or the shotgun thing, since they don't really effect things in any way.

Ha, I handled it the same way, until I pulled a few too many of them. I ended up peekaboo'ing all but three of them, who then concentrated on the broken bridge together. I ended up running back and forth around the boulder to the side of the bridge and spraying them with the Tommy at that point.



Oh yeah, one last question: did you change something so that you can stack as much loose ammo as you want, or has that always been there and I just noticed? I used to get pissed with shotguns since I'd either only have access to 10 spare rounds, or have 20 but not be able to use pockets for anything else. Having a stack of 50 in one pocket is great, and I'll feel like an idjit if it's always been that way.

Gave up on bootcamp at lvl 8 or 9. Started in the mountain trails, completely surrounded. Broad daylight, so I couldn't do much.

R@S, I want to Salute your excellent work on this game.

A big Thankyou!

Thanks for all the kind words and great ideas on improving the Boot Camp.

The stacking of loose ammo is the work of Xelat and the HLA team, a great improvement IMO.

I think I need to change the player starting point, on some map it is really hard to get to a good place without being shot. I'll try to find a good tactical position on the maps and have the player start from there. Especially on later levels, a good position means everything, if you're unlucky and get one of the smaller maps you'll get overrun pretty quickly.

I could add another 5 levels and have 2 or 3 of them early with enemies carrying pistols. I agree that using pistols only is fun and not utilized enough in the game. There is a large variety of them and this would give you the chance to try most of them out.

An option to continue the training should be added, not sure if I'll give the player a preset inventory, get back the loot from when the player quit the last time, or have a shop with an inventory depending on level.

I think starting the training with the gear you already have might make it too easy, but it should be easy enough to implement. The problem as I see it is that it would lead to starting the training later in the game, and that's not the intention of this "training".

As it is now, you'll get a slave at level 4, 7, 9, 11 and 13. If I add more levels this would have to be changed, maybe having a full team sooner would be better.

And I think I'll cap the enemy numbers at 25, 30 is too high. There are only 2 or 3 of the random maps where facing 30 enemies and win is possible no matter how good your tactics are.

The boot camp is great fun! I avoid the maps with a bad starting point by saving before entering the new stage. The new map is randomized each time.

EDIT: The HK416 14 inch is too accurate(61). It should be near the M4A1 (45).

Wow. Stacking ammo! That's something I have wanted for a long time. Awesome. :cool:

Done, I have given it an accuracy of 47.

I agree, having 100 rounds in a stack is making weapons with internal clips more useful, reloading from a stack rather than from a box saves valuable time.

Woah R@S, that Mk18 looks awesome, cant wait for it! Too bad it doesnt have SOPMOD/Crane stock though :(


And thanks for your private reply on the mipmap issue, works great now.

BTW, always wanted to ask...will we ever see something like PEQ 15's in BS? Could be an interesting addon for railed weapons having light and a laser in one box

I don't think so, the engine can't handle an attachment with two functions. It would either have to be laser or a TL.
