The Blue Sun Mod

[TodeswolF]

BTW R@S did you managed the crash with the e6q.txt for the GCP?

[R@S]

Yup, as long as you use the German Unofficial patch 1.06 and the GCP 1.6 the mod is very stable.

What is this you are talking about?

Possible spoilers ahead.

Also - was doing the poor wino mission line. Several strange things:
1. When I got the puta companion, we went to the hooker looking for luggage, she sends us to the Campechino? I stopped by Sagrada, puta says - lets go to my brother da police. All the other luggage missions skipped?
2. CGL1 at start. After fending off the drug dealer mission from puta police ambush CGL is suddenly 8?

You can go straight to Sagrada after Paquito joins, it's been that way for a while now. The Puerto viejo - Campecino - Sagrada route is when you don't know who's got the luggage.

Similar issues has been reported, but that had to do with the Player Base. I need to know more about it before I start looking for the bug, like if you recruited militia at your base or took over any other sector.

Silly me for not figuring the 2 first points...

As for the CGL change bug:
1. I accidentally took over Santa Maria after talking to a mayor
2. Hired Muerte via barmain.
3. Didn't recruit militia or anything like that.

Overall - my save game is attached, if it provides anything useful.

This is a vanilla thing, you always get bumped to CGL 8 if you take over a city. I think the devs made it like that to prevent players from exploiting it. If the enemies carry low CGL weapons it's much easier to take a city than when they're well armed.

I'm still at work but will check the save when I get home later tonight.

been a fan of BFX and hardlife, recently got back from afghanistan and wanted to replay 7.62 with the new blue sun mod.

I'm running windows 7 64bit and despite installing the C++ distributable and a fresh (gamersgate) installation of 7.62 I get the HLA.DLL error with the cyrillic text.
I've searched for the answer extensively before posting as well as done my fair share of troubleshooting but I haven't found a thing.

PS: has anyone recently downloaded from any of the available resources for BSM 1.6? AVG picks up a trojan hijacker to be hiding as the bluesunmod.exe
on second look, i thought it was rather curious that an executable was only a 34kbs

If this is the problem would anyone be willing to send me a clean BSM via email?

[R@S]

I don't think there's a trojan in the exe, most of that file is made up of the image and the remaining 3kb are pointers to the hla.dll file.

The hla.dll error occurs when you try to run the game with the wrong E6.exe in the game folder. That file needs to be the english vanilla exe, could be that the gamersgate version has some differences in it from the box version. Try extracting this file to your game dir and it should work.
