The Blue Sun Mod

Gave up on bootcamp at lvl 8 or 9. Started in the mountain trails, completely surrounded. Broad daylight, so I couldn't do much.

R@S, I want to Salute your excellent work on this game.

A big Thankyou!

Thanks for all the kind words and great ideas on improving the Boot Camp.

The stacking of loose ammo is the work of Xelat and the HLA team, a great improvement IMO.

I think I need to change the player starting point, on some map it is really hard to get to a good place without being shot. I'll try to find a good tactical position on the maps and have the player start from there. Especially on later levels, a good position means everything, if you're unlucky and get one of the smaller maps you'll get overrun pretty quickly.

I could add another 5 levels and have 2 or 3 of them early with enemies carrying pistols. I agree that using pistols only is fun and not utilized enough in the game. There is a large variety of them and this would give you the chance to try most of them out.

An option to continue the training should be added, not sure if I'll give the player a preset inventory, get back the loot from when the player quit the last time, or have a shop with an inventory depending on level.

I think starting the training with the gear you already have might make it too easy, but it should be easy enough to implement. The problem as I see it is that it would lead to starting the training later in the game, and that's not the intention of this "training".

As it is now, you'll get a slave at level 4, 7, 9, 11 and 13. If I add more levels this would have to be changed, maybe having a full team sooner would be better.

And I think I'll cap the enemy numbers at 25, 30 is too high. There are only 2 or 3 of the random maps where facing 30 enemies and win is possible no matter how good your tactics are.

The boot camp is great fun! I avoid the maps with a bad starting point by saving before entering the new stage. The new map is randomized each time.

EDIT: The HK416 14 inch is too accurate(61). It should be near the M4A1 (45).

Wow. Stacking ammo! That's something I have wanted for a long time. Awesome.

Done, I have given it an accuracy of 47.

I agree, having 100 rounds in a stack is making weapons with internal clips more useful, reloading from a stack rather than from a box saves valuable time.

Woah R@S, that Mk18 looks awesome, cant wait for it! Too bad it doesnt have SOPMOD/Crane stock though


And thanks for your private reply on the mipmap issue, works great now.

BTW, always wanted to ask...will we ever see something like PEQ 15's in BS? Could be an interesting addon for railed weapons having light and a laser in one box

I don't think so, the engine can't handle an attachment with two functions. It would either have to be laser or a TL.
