The Blue Sun Mod

[Worbah]

This is easily one of the best mods I've seen on any game, ever. And I've been a PC-gamer for nearly 20 years.

R@S,

Is there any intention to allow levels for your mercs too? I.e. so that one could spend points on their attributes too?

[R@S]

Worbah, thx for you encouraging words. Since I have spent most of my free time the last 2 years it sometimes feels good to hear such things And the guys helping out are a big part of the mod, even if none of them has lasted as long as I, their work and ideas is what made it fun to continue working.

I don't think I would like that, it would mean that all the mercs we've added could be pretty generic after some time on the team. I like that you have to hire specific types of mercs that fits your needs, and that you sometimes have to waste good money on a crappy merc. And I'm too lazy to add such a script to the mercs as well

Well... I can see your point and it sounds fair enough

I'm eagerly awaiting the new version and kudos for some great stuff, that you do

I just discovered something I should have figured out 3 years ago, and with this very complex game it happens even to the most experienced ones

I have always been a bit annoyed about the slow movement of the camera, and holding shift while scrolling does speed it up a bit, but IMO not enough. So I was browsing the Config.e6c file in the 7.62 directory and found the entry for camera speed, and by cranking the speed up to 2.5 I found a setting that suits me much better. I just though I should share this information if anyone else is bothered by this. The entry to change is:

CameraSpeed 2.5

Test different number to find a speed that suits you, with these numbers you'll be able to cross the map with the camera in less than a second if you hold shift, might be too fast for some of yous

R@S, First off, please let me thank you for what looks like an incredible mod to a flawed, but wonderful game. I just got back to my PC after a long absence and reinstalled 7.62. Put in the unofficial patch, and then installed BSM. I'm getting an error msg from the HLA Injector stating E6.exe cannot be found. I'm using the gamers gate version of the game. I've tried everything I can think of. The game works fine before the BSM install, even with the unofficial patch. The files are nowhere near my system folders. I have installed the C++ libraries. I'm running win7x64. I've tried running the BSM.exe in compatibility mode as well. So far... 4 clean installs and patches, followed by the same error after installing BSM.



The log file states the following:

Any advice or help you could give would be forever appreciated. I've been working on this for almost 4 hours now. Hafta call it a night, but would really like to try out this mod. Sooooo frustrating... and somehow I know its most likely something I'm doing.....

[R@S]

Havokk, check the first post in this thread, the new version will hopefully solve your problem. One question tho, did you install the GamersGate fix? It isn't needed in the 1.7 version, but it would be nice to know if this was the case when you tried the 1.6 version.
