The Blue Sun Mod

[UselessHeathen]

I agree 100%. I love the tense CQB in the bunker, but gettin there is just another fight. I used an AKS-74U and utterly reamed the guys rushing me with MAC-11s.

Crazy Jingo Moment: I caught one of them off guard via Fast Turn, and in his shock-addled state he threw his gun at me. It landed at my feet, and he stood there for a moment looking at me (I imagine he was wondering why he did that) before attempting to escape my 12-gauge justice machine. He did not.

Cant say I liked the mine/bunker. There's no roof so everyone just threw grenades over the walls. The explosions then take out every lightsource and it becomes pitchblack.

90% of the fighting took place in the first three rooms, leaving an enormous part of the bunker empty.

So bleh.

An excellent level for tactical flashlights however!

Hi all,

Some time ago I read about this mod, and now that I reinstalled 7.62 I wanted to try it. But as it seems I'm not that genius I always claimed to be

I installed 7.62, then installed the German 1.06 manually (by using packme.bat). After that I mounted the iso and started the installation. And thats when trouble started.... If I check "German GPC only" installation freezes. If I dont check anything it installs; I have some english text ingame and can't find any BSM-NPC (neither Paco the Cop nor his buddy in Santa Maria).

So could please anyone give me some "BSM installation for idiots"-guide?

edit: works now... I tried and tried until it once didnt freeze

Been a while since I've played BSM (hard to believe it's up to v. 1.8!), and I downloaded the three parts, used 7zip to decompress them (I assumed that it combined the three parts into one automatically - the iso image is 584 MB in size), and then I burned the iso image onto a CD. I double-click on it and my Win 7 64-bit operating system informs me that it can't find the program to open it up with.

I've installed two different free virtual drive programs (I went to use Daemon Tools Lite, but caught multiple comments that it now comes with spyware, so I won't be using that used-to-be-awesome program anymore).

The two that I tried were:
osfmount_x64
Virtual Clone Drive 5450

I couldn't get them to recognize the iso (since this is the first time I'm using these programs, maybe I did something wrong? Hard to know...).

Then I read that one could just use 7zip to open up iso images, and this I did. I could see the following:

Data
Redist
Set
Autorun.inf
Setup.exe
Whats_new.txt

So I clicked on Setup.exe and the nifty BSM windowed installer started running. Cool, right? Through its GUI, I select "Install English patch" because that box was unchecked (maybe it should be, as I'm using the Amazon.com digital download version of 7.62, and it might already be patched), and then I click the auto-installer to proceed. After several seconds I get this error message:

Setup
(X)
Unable to execute file:
C:\Users\Tesla\AppData\Local\Temp\7zO4452.tmp\Set\ UnP106En.exe

CreateProcess failed; code 2.
The system cannot find the file specified.

[OK]

What's going on? I'm very eager to dive into the latest build and this is holding me up.

Any DETAILED advice is GREATLY appreciated!

Tried WinCDEmu ver. 3.6, and it was RIDICULOUSLY easy to use, and it worked!!!

I guess that 7zip just doesn't have "the stuff" to get the job done when running the iso image file.

Can't wait till tonight when I can finally give the latest build a good run!

By the way, I know that this may seem like a newbie question (especially since I've played this game SO many times), but I saw a video somewhere a LONG time ago that showed how one can "link" multiple orders to one squad mate so that one doesn't have to "babysit" every single little action they take. I can't find this video any longer, and I can't recall what the name of the function was nor the key that it was assigned to. I think that it was called something like "Record," but if it is that key that links actions together, how does one use it?

Thanks in advance!

I found a video that "sort of" shows how one can give multiple commands to a squad mate and all of those orders will be carried out in the sequence dictated by the player.

Which command is he using to do this, and is this key pressed before the first order is given, and then once again after the last order is given, or...?
