The Blue Sun Mod

[IceShade]

I often forget to change the ini settings before I've started a new game.. so 9 out of 10 times I change them after. I have noticed no problems at all. I'm pretty sure changing the amount of enemies in a random encounter works just as well..

[Naserve]

If random encounters are the little fights you get into in the restricted zone then it is not working by changing and continuing on an existing save. I set the min and max to 1 as a proof of concept and I'm still hitting 6 or so guys usually. It doesnt bother me now that I have a full crew but at the beginning of the game I was looking to lower it after my first 2 battles had me at a 1 vs 10-12 guys.

[R@S]

So if you are hitting 6 enemies when the MinEnemies is set to 1, then I would assume you are at CGL 5, is that correct?

This is the equation as it is explained in the ini file:
call RND(MinEnemies, MaxEnemies)+CurrentGameLevel

[Naserve]

I feel really stupid for not seeing that equation and comparing it to my enemies. They're right around my CGL+1 so it would appear to be working. Sorry to make a fuss.

(On a side note, shouldn't the M16A4 have a 3rnd burst and no full auto option instead of it being the other way around?)

Also once again this is a great mod. Ever since I got 7.62 i've really wanted to like it but some things really put me off. Blue Sun has fixed nearly everything I disliked about vanilla 7.62.

Hadn't played 7.62 for quite a while. Last week my computer crashed big time. Had to reinstall OS/programs. Argh. Wanted 7.62 back. Did a lot of work but couldn't get the old 7.62 saves to work.

Glad to find that the forum is alive & well & there's a Blue Sun 1.8 ver. I'm d/l-ing the game from Gamers Gate & the BSMod from mediafire.* Eager to get back into the fray and have this source for info.

THANKS, R@S, and all! OneMug

*I found the mediafire website before I found the 1C forum and was badgerd to join all kinds of deals before I could d/l. Clicking on the links from this forum allowed me to d/l w/o being hassled. Sweet. Now to follow instructions.

I d/l all 3 parts, extracted them to .ISO files. They all have the same name, size, date. Since they all had the same name, I put 1, 2, 3, each in a separate folder. Got an ISO burner program. Burned "Part 1" to a DVD. Burned part 2 - the ISO erased part 1 and I the same set of files on the DVD...um...

Do I have to install all 3 parts? Or do I install part 1 & set it up, then burn part 2 separately to another disk, and set up that one also, then part 3, etc.? Or will just any one part be sufficient? If they're all the same, why have 3 parts?

As you can see, I'm confused. <--See? Please explain. TIA.

The easiest way is to put part 1, 2 and 3 in the same folder then extract them by double clicking on part 1. It should create an iso called blue_sun_1.8 which is about 598mb. Then you can burn the iso to a dvd (or mount it using daemon tools) and install the mod from there.

Help that helps
