The Blue Sun Mod

[Hurzwa]

Hi R@S,

is it possible to make the guns which you scavange from dead enemies worn out like in BE5 or the actual HLA?

[IceShade]

I think that was an engine problem..

Just like the fact that your body armor is instantly repaired on zone change.

Yea that would be a huge improvement, not only for realism but also for gameplay.

Btw, compliments for this great mod, I really enjoy it

I'm not inclined to do that, it requires the new user-functions that comes with the HLA.dll file.

I would really love it

I might add something to that effect, I think the term will be slaves. I'm not sure how I'll implement it tho, every team member should be added to the merc files, otherwise it'll open up some exploits in some missions. Team members that aren't mercs wont trigger some engine events, and that could seriously screw up the game balance. I'll play around with it when time permits and will get back to you.

Ladies and Gents I salute you to this awesome mod!

First timer here, but enjoying the game and BS so far.
However I might encountered a bug, during the Miguel's quest.

Upon escorting him to Taco-Paco after the firefight with the smugglers I let him go because his little poem touched me deeply. Now when I realized that the bastard played tricks on my heart I felt that I have to punish him, so I asked Paco what to do next. He said go to Cali Cantos and hunt him down once and for all.

I said OKAY!

...I forget, I forget again...

Anyhow I encountered an abmbush during the trip, and to my surprise a few bandits were armed with sniper mosin nagants and SKS rifles. However the game level was on 1 character lvl on 2. I defeated them with plenty of blood loss, but after arriving to Cali Cantos I checked the levels again, since I've been offered FaMas and the like at the weapons store.
Needless to say the game level went up to lvl7!

The other thing(I can live with higher level enemies and better weapons-or not time will only tell) is I can not find that damn Miguel anywhere in town.

Is this a bug or should or I just missing something?

[R@S]

Hey Greyfoot, welcome to the board.

The CGL jump really concerns me, it shouldn't happen and I've looked through the code for the Miguel missions to find the cause but couldn't find anything. The only event I know of that makes such a jump is taking over a city and then talking to a Mayor, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I'll try it ingame and see if I can recreate it.

Higlight for spoler
Miguel is not hiding in Cali-Cantinos, but in another town very far from there. Without naming the exact town I'll say it's the town the longest distance from it, north of the safe zone.

Ok, I took a few screenshots, I'll upload them now.

The first one is in Cali Cantos after the ambush, in search of Miguel (he cannot be found)

This is in Sag..I forget, I forget again before Miguel's speech

This one in the beggining of the game, 2quests done, one for the hooker, the other one for Mister Sister(the first one)

And finally this is another save from a different game, well into the game, just attacking Ciudad El Oro

Is this progression normal?I mean I haven't checked during my last game, as everythng seemed to be normal, but as far as I remember my character's level was always ahead of the game's level. Now it seems even at the beggining I am behind a level.
I am playing on hard only hit probability and last enemy checked if that helps.

[Greyfoot]

Well I just tried to recreate the same events, but no matter what I do to which character I cannot reach game level 2 at the beggining as its on the second last picture. I tried 3 different new games and even tried to copy the skills and parameters of the hero in question to no avail. I thought the bug appeared because of some of my parameters were above 100 and hearing set to 1 but no.
I tried it with Cameron but everything seems normal, the game level stays at 1 after helping the lovely "ladies".

I try it once more with Kurt this time and see if it helps(I doubt it though)
