The Blue Sun Mod

[safoolfool]

You're given a series of missions to assasinate people, culminating with a guy in a training camp. You're given a few options like "I'll give you some mines to plant" or "here's a sniper rifle, shoot him", and one of them is "just go in and kill everyone." If you pick the option to kill everyone the mission won't complete (as in, theres no recognition after you kill the mark).

The solution is to just pick one of the other options, and then kill everyone. It doesn't matter what you say you'll do, as long as the guy ends up dead. So if you want to snipe him, you can still say you'll do it with mines. Basically, select any option other than "kill them all" and then do the mission however you see fit.

Thx 4 the Info.
I was given an interesting rifle for choosing the sniper option, though its kinda weak.
Regardless, i killed all the guys without a problem and the support group fell victim to my pistol/mp´s and a well placed RPG .
T´was a funny fight alright.

Strange thing though, i reloaded a save halfway through the battle(had to quit)
And it was corrupt(CTD) all my quicksaves and normal saves during the battle were CTD causing(reproduced several times).
The save i had just before i fired the first shot was totally fine.
Maybe this is usefull info for R@S?

Another question though.
I seem to be unable to trigger the encounter for my base trader.
I have the base for some time now, CGL is 7 and all i get is damn bandit encounters.
If i get attacked at all that is.
Was this altered in the mod?

regards

I'm not sure what triggers the trader. My last play through (I think it was BSM 1.01) I didn't see him until pretty late, CGL 10 or so. This time I ran into him at CGL 3, so it might just be random with a large variance.
I did notice this time that I ran into him near the Palinero/Algeria border, but I'm not sure if that's a trigger or just luck.

Hi everyone !

I encounter a strange trick.

I recently dl BSM tax addon 1.3 and now I play with it.
I'm now on CGL 2 and I've taken the Army Base (near Campecino I think) thanks to Mr Lond!

But when I've finished that mission, I came to my new base and talked to te "Mayor" there.

And surprisingly my CGL came from 2 to 8 in 2sec.

What's the matter ?

Thx

finally i downloaded the mod, but, some how i get an error when running the Bat file in the unofficial patch. I did run it as administrator it crashes my game when running it

any clues guys ?

[R@S]

@Nat
I'm aware of this problem and have already fixed it. There's a automatic jump to CGL 8 when you talk to a Mayor in a city you control and I forgot to make a work-around for the Army Base one.

@DAn88
Follow the instructions in the OP and there shouldn't be any problems. If you want any more help you need to describe your problem more, or try reading the threads in this forum, there's a lot of info there that might help you.

@ R@S => Thx for your quick answer. Shall I supose that'll be fixed in the next version ?

@ DAn88 => I've had the same problem. To fix it I had installed 7.62, unofficial patch, BSM mod 1.3 and the Tax Addon and FINALLY i've ran the patchme.bat (without administrator request) and all is working very fine.

But it seems to be a problem (or not ???) with patchme.bat under win 7. Because when you run it in admin mode it says that "no "file.a" nor "directory.a" found in windows/system32/blablabla ...."
That was the error message I had when I first try to ran it as it is said in the readme.
But it doesn't crash when you run it without admin mode.

In the same way I had to run it at the end of the overall instal because when i run it just after installing unofficial patch some files I had to replace with BSM 1.3 or Tax Addon were missing or hidden because of that famous Patchme.bat.

Is that normal ?

You've to use the "E6.exe".
"BFX.ico" is just an icon. Dunno on what it works.
R@S must know.

[R@S]

Since i have about 6 different installations of 7.62 on my hd I use the BFX.ICO on the shortcut to my latest build of the mod. Since it's a very small file I've left it in the mod for others to do the same.

I'll release the next version in a week or so, I think the testing period of the global economy has been long enough. We'll see if TodeswolF is finished with the new uniforms, if so I'll add them to that release as well.
