The Blue Sun Mod

[elk266]

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.

Ouch.

What elk said..

BSM.part1, .part2 and .part3 are simply parts of each other. If you extract .part1 it will automatically look for the other parts and combine that into one file.

I don't understand the burning part either. People do that? Just get winrar or something, extract, and mount with Daemon Tools or something else. Saves a good number of DVDs..

I've never done ISO before so I thought you'd have to extract each part separately. OK, I got it now. The rar extracted all 3 parts in one folder to a single ISO file. Sorry.

Also burning the BSM file at 584 MB is no problem DvD or CD. What is the advantage of mounting the Mod? I've never done mounting before, computer-wise, that is. OneMug

In laymans terms..

Daemon tools or Alcohol 120% or any other, will create a virtual DVD drive. If you then have Dtools mount this .iso onto the virtual drive, your computer will think you have inserted a DVD with this iso.

It basically does the exact same thing, but in software. Saves you a DVD.
