The Blue Sun Mod

[Tozmeister]

One other minor graphical error, the 2 russian grenades with the contact fuses (forget their names). One has a white top in the 2D image and a black top in 3D info screen, the other has a black top in 2D and a white top in 3D.

any chance you can just swap the 2D images round so they match the 3D images?

D_F_N is working on the voice-sets for the other 20 JA2 mercs, and when they're done I need to add them as well.

Well, well, well...

JA2 Mercs in the Blue Sun Mod?

Sounds like a match made in a very bloody "heaven."

I've been away for far too long. Real Life dangnabbit!

Things just keep sounding better and better R@S. Thanks to your superb commitment and hard work!

Thanks to r@s & everyone else involved for BSM.

Getting started i noticed some odditys with the class system, reduced reaction to 0 points and it jumps back up to 70 points during play. Increased health to 115 points but the health bar stays at 100. After a visit to the hospital, health bar shows 115 alright but the bar has 'gone through the roof' (theres a grey bit sticking out at the top). Any further damage taken to this merc and resting will only heal him to 100 points - a hospital visit is required to get the full 115.

Also could you possibly add a line on the Dr Macabre quests after asking about a donor to refuse the mission ?

Thanks for finding this flaw, I think I fixed it but need to test it more thoroughly. The Reaction parameter, along with all the others have now gotten a minimum value of 30, and a maximum of 100(Skills still have a maximum of 120). Since I suspect the flaw you've found happens when you get an increase from normal play I need to test my fix in my next playthrough.

Done.

I know this came up before, but i just updated to BDM1.6 and i still get the crazy "knife held in uncomfortable and dangerous way" bug. Is there some kind of fix for this?
Edit: It only happens on the Ka-Bar, SMERSH Knife, and Farbairn-Sykes Dagger. The bayonets and the Spetsnaz Knife work as intended.

Edit Again: I read earlier in this thread that R@S (whose godlike powers amaze me) has fixed the claymores to a 60 degree fragmentation spread. Has this been implemented yet or do i have to wait breathless til the next release.

I made this almost a year ago and it should be implemented. I haven't tried it much and can't say exactly how it works, but the claymore has a 60 degree shrapnel spread according to the ini files. Try setting it up and place a few mercs around, then you can see which one takes the most damage and you'll know which way to point it.

It's been a busy week, 15 new weapons has been added(the game finally has a Garand). I have fixed the HK416 and 417, they now have a folding stock.

Many new mercs has been added, only 8 left from the JA2 batch. The mechanic skill has been implemented and the repair script tweaked.

And finally, dropped enemy weapons are now worn and dirty, thanks to Xelat and Dancer

Just wanted to reiterate that you're doing some amazing tings with this game.

Are you still planning to do a revamp of the weaponinfo (a la the old alt one)?

Thanks, from me, D_F_N and Geroj who's currently working on the next version. And the HLA guys needs a big thanks too for sharing their work so freely

There was one guys that said he would do that, but changed his mind. He thinks the weapon stats in 1.6 is close enough and not worth the effort. I have done some minor tweaks myself, and D_F_N has some good ideas about implementing new types of weapons and ammo that gives the player new tactical options.
