The Blue Sun Mod

[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

[QUOTE=elk266;317282]The easiest way is to put part 1, 2 and 3 in the same folder
Elk266, thanks for the response but,...

It's impossible to put the 3 parts into one folder because they all have exactly the same name.

As I mentioned, I Burned "Part 1 ISO" to a DVD. Then I burned "Part 2" (to the same DVD) - the ISO program erased "Part 1" and burned "Part 2". Then I burned "Part 1" to a blank DVD I'll name "a", and burned "Part 2" to a separate blank DVD, named "b".

When I put the original burn or "a" or "b" into my DVD player, each one has 584MB and each one opens the BSM Install window.

Sorry, I still don't know why there are 3 Parts if any one part can install the Mod. And I'm worried that if I install from just 1 part, it will screw up the 7.62 mod.

Am I doing something wrong? Can this 3 part BSM problem be explained?
TIA. OneMug

Ok, I see what you've done. You have extracted the archive three times, making three copies of the same thing.
When extracting, the three files blue sun 1.8.part1.rar, blue sun 1.8.part2.rar, blue sun 1.8.part3.rar, they will automatically link to each part.

Your "a" or "b" DVDs are the same, you could install from either. Size is 584mb.
