The Blue Sun Mod

[Xiola]

As there has been no reply here for a while, I decided to start playing even with 100,000 eldos.

My kill counter never goes up (always 0) and I seemingly never get any level up points. (I have killed around 50 enemies now) Do I have to kill more or is this another bug with the mod?

I'm on Winxp, installed into deafult program files folder. In fact everything default and clean install. Tried with patch and without. Without patch I got a crash as soon as I entered the first level, so I gathered I must use the patch first. Did anther uninstall/reinstall but all the same troubles 100,000, no kill counter (0).

Do I need to kill even more than 50 enemies to get more XP points to spend?

New version is released, check the first post in this thread for details.

[Xiola]

Awesome.

Should we start a new game?

Hi R@S, thanks for your AWESOME work with this cool game.

Just a quick bug report, the money is now correct. Not killed anyone yet to test the kill count.

One bug I think I have found (clean install, winxp). Once I have created a new character with Cameron, I choose trooper and the only Class skills I get are 3 (I think they were the first 3, shooting, gunfighting and something else). My non class skills are the other 2 'class skills' and the 'real' non class skills are missing completely.

Hope this helps you.

New version is released, check the first post in this thread for details.

Yay and ARGH! I just installed the mod over a fresh installation of 7.62. Do we need a fresh install, or can we just safely overwrite what's already there?

This report concerns the PRIOR build (I didn't read your most recent post till just now).

The new maps are AWESOME. It still bugs me that we can't ascend some of those small mounds that are everywhere in the terrain, but I can live with it for now.

All I did was enter the new maps, and only engaged in a sortie with those that were present at the Airfield.

When I first requested the Guide to show me what he has for sale, I was a bit worried as to why it took so long to open up the store, but once it did I understood. Wow! It's chock full of goodies for testing! Thanks for that, and smart to do too.

There's a spelling error while interacting with the Guide. The option for playing the tutorial is spelled "Tutoryal," with a "y" instead of an "i."

I have questions regarding the aiming aides. Why is the Eotech 552 limited to a sight range of just 105m at $861 while the Aimpoint M has a sight range of 150m at a lesser price of $486? I looked to see if there was a weight advantage, and there definitely isn't, as the Eotech weighs more.

Also, the Desert Aimpoint found on the HK416 mod 6.8 CQB has a range of 200m; why is this Aimpoint so significantly better than an unpainted regular Aimpoint (is it due to coming from a significant character in the game, or...?)?

I had some problems with the new uniforms. Only Uniforms 03 and 04 appeared in the Guide's shop--is it supposed to be like this and Uniforms 01, 02, and 05 appear at a different shop, or did I screw up the files when I renamed the DDS files I created for the mod? See my email regarding this, as it details what I renamed the files to, but I did some guessing as to which files matched up with which costumes and I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the source of the error. Man, I badly want to see my uniforms in the game!

The PRIOR build was great. Downloading the new build now. Thanks again for all of your hard work R@S!!!

Hi, Kyle,

Do you get the Class system problem that I described above, when spending your points at the beginning? (Only three class parameters)

Hi I just got the game and installed the mod. The thing is every time I save I get a CTD.

Any help would be nice.

When you first created your character you only get to spend points on your Skills, not on any Parameters. Since you chose Trooper you'll get 3 class Skills and 7 non-class skils to spend points on. The Parameter option should be empty.

The log you posted doesn't give any important info on what might be the cause of your CTD. You did follow the instructions in the first post, right? You have installed the patch without errors, all the files from all the archives are in the game directory and most important of all, there is no write protection on your game dir.

[Xiola]

Thanks for the info R@S.

I found the third mission from the dodgy cop very hard. Where you have to escort the prisoner to the prison. There were only three of us and when I refused to hand him over, we were attacked by around 20-30 enemies! ouch!

I went to an earlier save and left that one for a while!

[R@S]

I've done a lot of testing lately and discovered a few bugs. There is a box in Radio Hill that causes a CTD when opened, so try to avoid it if possible(it's near the Mayor house).

I also noticed that when you lower your Health stat at character creation you can set it back to it's original state when visiting a doctor. I have removed the possibility to decrease that stat to avoid misuse.

The Field Radio will have to be remade, the way I've made it isn't sufficient. I'll try to get it done by the next release, it's a major task that requires a lot of new code.

I've also made some minor adjustment to the shop inventories, some ammo will be available earlier.

Otherwise I'm pretty satisfied with the mod, the money is tight when you get to the final stages and that's the way I like it. I haven't tried it with the "Easy Money" yet, but I hope it isn't too bad even if it's turned on.
