Very cool list. I see some changes/additions that I am sure I'll enjoy.

[R@S]

The new version is now released. Keep in mind that since there are some new weapons added a new install is needed.

Have fun

Quick question about the "reinstall" part. The only modification I have made to the game on top of the default installation is to copy the files over from the unofficial patch.

So I still need to fully uninstall and then reinstall the game?

[R@S]

Nah, if you have no other mods or files installed you only need to copy the mod files over to your game directory. But if you encounter any weird graphics in the shop inventories you need to deleta all *.dds files in your RenderedItems folder.

Mod has been running great up until today. Went to SM to take a mission, and when I open the options menu the screen is all black. This happened after I talked to a weapons dealer and some of the screen that is normally black was white instead. Some kind of graphics problem.

I have quit the game and reloaded it, but the main menu is still showing up all black and I can't see any of the options buttons to click on. Is this a known issue, or is there a possible fix to the problem? I'm running 1280x1024 res. I will try changing it to see if that helps.


I have also noticed a problem with one of the missions. The bob in the harbor gave me a mission to find a Book of Koans. I looked everywhere for it, didn't find anything. After the mission said I couldn't find it in the log I talked with him again and somehow it gave him the book and mission completed. I had no item to give him, and there was nothing to tell me when or if I had found it.

Now he wants 12 missing pages of the same book, and I'm lost again at where to look or what I'm even looking for. I've been to every possible location that I'm capable of going to, and I have searched every crate, car, or box in every location and still nothing. Are those quests bugged?


Overall, getting around those few bugs, the mod is doing ok. I like the modifications to the weapons especially, it's nice having more realistic ranges and damage values. I have only seen a few of the new weapons, but I'm also only on level 4 so I expect to see more soon. I was a bit disappointed to see some of the normal items missing from the crates in the base, but I'm sure I'll make due.

Good job so far, and I hope the graphical bug can be resolved so I can get back to playing.


EDIT: I tried loading it again, still same issues. 1280x1024 and 1280x960 keep showing black main menu. 1024x768 shows the menus fine, but the shop window has the original graphic bug. 800x600 runs fine, both the menus and the shop windows work normally, but that graphic setting is too low for me and looks like crap.

[R@S]

About the black screens, you should've set all the TGA files in your gamedir\BMP\HUD\ sub-folders to read only. Then you wouldn't have had this problem. What you need to do is back-up your save files, uninstall the game. Then re-install it and put back yout old save files.

It has come to my attention that there are some issues with the source code for the 0.7 version. I'll try to have a fix uploaded sometime this weekend.

I would to know why BFX mod delete Tactical Light? It is the mojor addon to guns,doesn't it?

Also,these is no bullet ejecting while the M82A4 shooting.

[catdog]

BFX mod is good，but I just would to know how to add the rifle Tactical Light back.Can any body teach me to do that?

[kgasuns]

I tried to talk to the politician in the government town [forgot the name], he says something about Uribe, help and 15 000 money, and suddenly the game just starts showing game credits - company, authors etc. It practically crashes.

Also I was wondering, if the hooker "with the store" was really intended to be that generous?
