The Blue Sun Mod

[R@S]

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).

[IceShade]

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.

Man, I don't know what's up. I reinstalled from scratch.

1.6 unofficial patch with the windows 7 fix. Installed mappacks. Did 1.7 base, 1.7 fix 2. No save games, always start a new game..

And I still get these weird offers, while the money offered by your own quests are fine.

I'll do a new installation from CD, and if that doesn't work, I give up.

edit: Okay finally that's fixed. At least now I can play properly.

[Harry Renquist]

First of all thanks R@S and everyone else for extending the life of 762. Too bad we couldn't add Marauder files to it or something.

Anyways I tried 1.7 for the first time and followed the installation instructions exactly. But when I entered boot camp I eliminated 2 enemies. I then went to the yellow exit point and a menu came up saying "get me out of here" or "stay"

so I clicked on get me out of here and clicked on the global map another town, then CTD. I restarted the game several times and it still crashed to desktop. The only way around it is to Not choose boot camp. which I was hoping to do.

Did I install it wrong or something.
I have win xp sp3.
Thanks.

P.S. Well I made it to the town of Sagrada. I took the large refrigerator type explosive found hidden in the garbage bin near the police station and every time I try to sell it, another CTD! I can't even put it back into the bin or it crashes!

P.S.S. here is one of my logs.

I guess an attachment can't be full auto either? Or handle magazines? It would be cool to have a 'proper' M26 MASS attachment.

[Kuujis]

Just fed up with the prototype weapon mission... Found 3 parts and a manual, main weapon description mentions three parts, so I think this should be it... But "there are still parts missing" message appears... Makes me a sad panda Am I doing something wrong by pressing "Assemble OICW"?
