The Blue Sun Mod

[Havokk357]

R@S, First off, please let me thank you for what looks like an incredible mod to a flawed, but wonderful game. I just got back to my PC after a long absence and reinstalled 7.62. Put in the unofficial patch, and then installed BSM. I'm getting an error msg from the HLA Injector stating E6.exe cannot be found. I'm using the gamers gate version of the game. I've tried everything I can think of. The game works fine before the BSM install, even with the unofficial patch. The files are nowhere near my system folders. I have installed the C++ libraries. I'm running win7x64. I've tried running the BSM.exe in compatibility mode as well. So far... 4 clean installs and patches, followed by the same error after installing BSM.



The log file states the following:

Any advice or help you could give would be forever appreciated. I've been working on this for almost 4 hours now. Hafta call it a night, but would really like to try out this mod. Sooooo frustrating... and somehow I know its most likely something I'm doing.....

Havokk, check the first post in this thread, the new version will hopefully solve your problem. One question tho, did you install the GamersGate fix? It isn't needed in the 1.7 version, but it would be nice to know if this was the case when you tried the 1.6 version.

Hey, just a quick question to drop in here. Playing 1.6 and im quite dissapointed that i dont have access to the actor ini´s, at least it seems so.

The folder has just a .scc file, and i really want to alter most of the Actor Ini´s to cater my taste as an expierenced player. I.e i dont want to waste my life time to train STR on the few guys that i use. So, is there a procedure which lets me access the .ini files again?
I remember it was like this on older versions.

Thx 4 any help you can offer, and please resist the urge to lecture me on cheating. I know some people will have it

IIRC it's in the BSM azp file (I never used 1.6, but it was in 1.5). It's probably easier to edit your savegame file though. If you unpack your save there'll be a file main.sav, which is a nice simple text file. Just go and change everyone's stats there, then repack the save using your modified main.sav.
Note that if you go this route the save file has two listings for everyone's stats, the first is what they are and the second is what they were at the start of the game (so that the game shows what points you've earned).
I also always cheat for strength.

[R@S]

You can use this tool to get access to those files, compliments of our Russian friends

Total Commander

And I recommend you use the 1.7 version instead of the 1.6, it has a $hitload of more goodies

[JackintheBox]

Haha!

Thx for your fast and pro help folks.
Yeah its in the .azp, but i still have to ask what to really do?
In the sense of just unpacking the .azp somewhere and dumping it back into the main game folder?
Ive never had to go through great lengths with this stuff, so excuse my lack of knowledge.

And I recommend you use the 1.7 version

Hmm, can i upgrade without a hassle?
Thing is, im using a german game version and i had to install quite some things to get it set up right.

[R@S]

You can copy the 1.7 version right over your 1.6 installation, then the 1.7 fix and finally the GCP again. I think that should work.

And use TC to browse the BlueSun.azp, by pressing F4 on the file you wanna edit you can do your changes while the file still is archived. Then just exit the azp and save your changes, easy-piecy.

You "think" huh?

Gonna do that now, if anything come up i´ll let you know.

easy-piecy.

Yeah that is really easy!

Thx again for your help and all the work on the mod!
Ive been out of the loop since 1.3 or so, curious to see whats new.

regards

[R@S]

I "think" because I'm not sure if you used the German unofficial patch or the English one. If you used the German one, the above should work. If the English one you can actually skip the GCP completely.

And you've got a lot of new stuff to find out if 1.3 was the last version you played, so have fun exploring

[JackintheBox]

Used the german patch, as was advised in an instal guide for the 1.6 vers.

And you've got a lot of new stuff to find out if 1.3 was the last version you played, so have fun exploring

Yeah i had a quick glance at yout OP and it seems like i will have a truckload of new things to play around with. Happy-happy, joy-joy

Files are dl´ed, so im off to play!
