The B.F.X. Mod for 7.62 High Calibre

[qdlat]

There is a technical glitch with the mod. When I choose to start a new game, my character does not have any inventory, while in non-modded version has a pistol, grenade & some other stuff. Was it intended or a bug?

If you did not have such problem I would be also grateful for the info.

I have English version bought in Poland, already patched to 1.11 build 286.

When I start a non-modded game, save it and then load after installing the mode, game crashes, but I presume it is normal.

I'd like to ask if there's a way to modify the appearence of items, for example a unifrom including ski mask like the one the bad guys are wearing... or more precisely said: you put on the uniform and your character's head is replaced with robber's for example

It is possible, but a major task if one would do it for all the mercs. I suggest you start looking into the AZP archives in the Actors\Monster\ folder. There you'll find the files that point to the heads and bodies the models use. There it's just a matter of changing the textures used for that model. But if you wanna have the "uniform" function, you need to edit a lot of files, and in the end you don't have a model texture for a masked bandit head that uses some of the equipment(like NVG's or helmets).

Also I was wondering, if the hooker "with the store" was really intended to be that generous?

Hmm, weird issue since the hookers aren't supposed to buy/sell things. It might have to do with some GUMID being mixed up, but those errors were supposed to be fixed in the 0.8 version.

Also there is a strange Librarian in Sagrada from the very start, who starts to talk to me like there is some history behind it already. It looks like he is part of some mission, because he mentiontens some Bob (that has told him everything... what? I have not met a single Bob yet) and brings my squad to some strange underground, but I do not go further in the underground, because I do not want to spoil the potential mission.

Also it is not clear, if the preacher who orders me to kill Mister Sister, does pay anything afterwards. He behaves like nothing had happened (just the option to end conversation), although I went to kill the poor bastard-hooker straight off.

Another one of those weird issues, are you playing with the 0.7 version? anyways, here's the link to the 0.8 version, just in case:

Blue Sun Mod 0.8

The Tanya issue is weird, I know she is supposed to disappear at a certain point of the game, but in that case your Journal tells you who to talk to to continue the story.

Thanks for any helpful reply.

Yeah, SFI seems to have some connectivity issues, I've experienced the same.

You should change your ISP or use a proxy.

I overwrote the "*_HEAD.AZP" files of my mercs with "236_carabineer_Head.azp" file I found in the Monsters folder. The result is on the image. I dont have to watch their ugly faces anymore, altough I can't take off the "masks" in-game (which doesn't bother me).

Good job, mate! I also think that most of the faces look like alchoholics. And (not being discriminating or anything) they do look very Russian.

Yes, I was playing 0.7. Obviously it was just before you released 0.8 or it was not available through the Strategy First forum due to forum not being accessible.

Anyway, thanks for the mod! Have not played the game for a year or two, and this was my first try now. Eventually I did get tired of the mission bugs (hate them more than anything from the original Russian vanilla release years ago), but it is a great improvement over vanilla by any means. I tried the vanilla afterward, and, although it was finally stable, it felt (and was) hugely disbalanced.

Robbers stole computer from my apartment on the New Years Eve... with the original Russian disc in it (I first bought Russian version). So I am back to the English version which I bought lately and your mod.

P.S. By the way, speaking of weapons and balancing, do you happen to know, if your version has weapon balancing created by Incapacitator included. As much as I could follow on the Russian forum, it was eventually included in the vanilla via 1.11 patch. (I did like this addition.)

Thanks for your reply R@S, I hope 0.9 is on track, huge thanks for your great mod
