The Blue Sun Mod

[deekin]

Hi just started playing this mod. love that you let us get the base mission off the jump.. my question is that since the SR25 was remove from the box in the base, will I be able to buy it later in the game? cos I never saw the rifle in the shop when I play the normal game. It would really sock if I cant get that rifle any more since it my fav weapon in the game.

First, thank you for improving one of my favorite (if flawed) games!

Unfortunately, I am having problem running the newest version of Blue Sun Mod. I re-installed 7.62, and applied unofficial patch. At that point, the game ran fine. Then, I installed Blue Sun Mod on top of it, and now it crushes whenever the first map loads after the character creation.

I am using Win7 64bit, and Gamersgate version. I am suspecting that the modified e6.exe included in the mod is causing problem with secuROM (GG version needed to be activated first), but I am not very sure. Thank you for the help.

causing problem with secuROM

How about rename modified E6.exe(3.38Mbytes) to another name & run it directly?
Also, keep E6.exe secuROM ver.(6.77Mbytes) on your 7.62 directory.

I'm not sure this works as a solution. But I recommend to try this way.

^ Thank you for suggestions. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to help...

I'm thoroughly enjoying 7.62 with this mod installed. That said, I have a few questions...

I've noticed that there are super-specialized backpacks for sale at the bar in the first town the player spawns at at the very beginning of the game. These packs are nicknamed "Drugs, Collimeters," etc., etc. In spite of their different names and icons, the item layout in the packs are the same.

I'm at level 3 and so far, in spite of their price differences, they're all empty upon purchase. Is this correct? What special purpose (if any) do these backpacks serve?

The merc-agent charges me a lot more than "just" $1,000 to bring in a merc for me. Also, the merc doesn't always appear even though I coughed up the money. Is this because my funds are too low to actually hire them, or are they spawning someplace else, or...?

In spite of being at Level 3, I still haven't been able to hire anyone due to how low my funds are...Is this a normal progression? I seem to recall being able to hire a partner fairly early in Brigade E5.

Thanks in advance!

I have beaten the Blue Sun Mod. I believed I haven't found out almost everything in the mod and I am happy to help people out. If anyone has any questions and using Steam ( I don't like using MSN or whatever), feel free to add me robinlovesshare on Steam. I will be able to answer most if not all your questions.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the item-specialty-backpacks are invisible while they're WORN, but become visible when they're placed on the ground. Is this a bug, or...?

I'm having the same problem as Gnomy, and I did what Legionnaire=M= suggested, but this still happens. I installed everything perfectly. I'm also running the Gamersgate version but on a 32bit XP pro os.

There is another issue I have. When I run the PatchMe.bat I get an error message that looks like this:
This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Anyone have any ideas, and what is that .dll about?

Forgot to say; mine also crashes after character creation, and it worked fine before the BSM install

Thanks for the help. I was looking around, found some answers, my friend sent me the file, and everything works perfectly now.
