The Blue Sun Mod

[Zubryk]

how is it going guys. I have downloaded blue sun mod(1.7) from the links from the first page and i have instaled it acording to the description.The mod is absolutly wonderful but...(always that bloody "but" hym...) there is a few details that dose not work properly on my win 7 64-bit sys, the beam of the "rifle flashlight" is directed in wrong way and the atachments on all FN SCAR family are to high up(above the rail), and finaly the main thing most of hk and scar have the shell point(by that i mean the visual place where the shell supposed to fall out) on the wrong side of the weapon but the shell itself comes out from the other side though.Is there any way to fix these few small things? Please!

There's a fix for that a couple of pages ago in this thread, but here's the link to that hotfix

Just extract and copy these files to your game directory, no new game is required.

I guess you're using the HPW addon and that has already been fixed, but you'll have to wait until the 1.8 release to get it.

It's a minor thing, but to correct it is very complicated and time consuming, each single weapon would take 1 or 2 hours to fix and I don't have that much time to spare ATM. Maybe in a later release(after this summer maybe) I'll have the time to do it.

Thank You for quick response, I appreciate it.I'm looking foward to 1.8 release.

Any ETA date for the 1.8 release? I didnt play the 1.7 version and I am anxious to get my hands on 1.8!

I had hoped to get the 1.8 released this week, but haven't had enough time to finish my testing session yet. And since I haven't gotten much feedback on the HPW addon I also need to do more testing and tuning of all the new weapons. I might have it ready this weekend, but can't promise anything, lots of variables that might screw that up

Any idea why the game crashes at start? I deleted my previous versions, 1.6 and 1.7 install folders, ran 1.8 instalation through mounted image, it instaled fine I guess, but the game now crashes when I want to start a new game (havent tried loading saved games, since I deleted everything). Was the Unofficial patch applied through the instalation itself?

It did if you chose that option with the installer, which you probably didn't and that's why you get the CtD. Sorry.

And before you complain about the need to select the English patch I need to point out the need for this system, otherwise we couldn't add the option for the German patch and GCP.
