The Blue Sun Mod

Ugh. Another apparent bug. I took the Willi Krauf convoy mission. I talk with Willi who sends me to Jorge Bento, who gives me a calendar and tells me to talk to Elizario. I speak with Elizario and then the bug hits. The conversation node never sends me to a car. After choosing "Alright, get in the car.", the nodes go to "Just a minute, there's something I need to do" and "Just a second, there's something I need to do". I have already tried, removing all team mates and keeping just my main character, I hired an extra character to have six but nothing works. Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: also, how do weapon upgrades with Pablo Rodriguez work? I've had weapons with no attachments and all other kinds of weapons in my inventory and in my hands and he just says to pick a type but there are not types listed.

About the dagger to dagger mission, do you have a car? If you do, leave it at the bartender before you talk to Elizario. If you don't have one, there's a bug somewhere related to the dialog phrase. I think I edited the e6q.txt to say something like "leave your car and come back, but would have to check it again to see if I dint make a booboo and replaced that txt with another one. It has happened before

The mechanic only upgrades a few selected weapons, like in BE5. The weapons he upgrades are:
Benelli M4 Super 90
MP5A4
FN FAL 50.00
Dragunov SVD
M203B

I'll edit his dialog so he tells you this ingame, thanks for pointing this flaw out.

You were right. I left the car with the bartender in Puerto Viejo and I have now boarded the truck.

Now, I'm sure I'm skipping part of the quest or something because I can drive to Cali-Cantinos and I never get the bomb event. I recall that Willi Krauf mentioned a route but I can't remember it.

Is there a specific route I need to follow?

[R@S]

You need to follow the second car, it will be leaving Puerto Viejo right after you. Just left-click on the arrow and you'll automatically stick close to it. If you don't, you'll miss the ambush event and the mission will fail.

Hello people!

I just encountered a rather annoying error during the Querano showdown. No bullets come out. Yeah, you heard me. The guns fire but that's it, nuffink leaves the barrel. It's pretty hard to shoot all those meatbags this way.

Did some foolin' around: it happens with different mercs, different weapons, different places and firing stances. Reloaded map, reverted to earlier save and entered fresh, still no joy. Curiously sometimes bullets DO come out but mostly the ones that miss by a margin and give a skill increase. Sometimes happens to the enemy as well.

Map itself seems fine, already did the trader rescue on it.

I may be able to finish that quest but it would take days of constant reloads, and I just don't see myself doing it. Anyone had this one before?

Long time no see, welcome back

It's a vanilla bug, the reason for it is unknown. Luckily it only happens on very rare occasions. IIRC it also happened sometimes in BE5, so it must be some weird circumstances in the combat engine that makes it appear.

Wow, thanks for the welcome-back. Never thought someone would actually remember me from back then.

Anyway I seem to attract the rarest bugs in all games, must be my karma.

The other thing I noticed is the Ford car model. Shouldn't it be the Mustang? There is even a model for it in the harbor but my car looks like an old Renault or something. Or do the car objects behave differently?

BTW is it possible to coerce a merc into a certain slot? I mean I want a guy to be #2 but he insists on being the last in line. Telling the others to stay put and rejoining them doesn't work.
