Alpine Mods are GREAT!

Back to playing my way through UFO:AM and installed the ALPine mods and they are GREAT! Especially, the ability to zoom in to a point right there with the troops. Changes the game a lot, for the better.

Doubt the guy who did it is still around, but thanks a lot.

AddMod and v1.1

Just noticed something read one of the posts below.

I have SS Gold, which is v1.1.

I have never been able to get AddMod and mods to work.

Do you guys think upgrading to v1.2 might enable AddMod so I can mod SS?

It would be nice to fix the silly grenade range!

Shooting Civilians

Is there any positives or negitives involved in shooting civilians?

As a general thing I've been trying to avoid it, but occasionally one of the buggers will grab a weapon and shot me! My current inclination is shoot them all and let God sort them out, but do I get penalized for doing this?

Add Mod & Mods don't work?

I downloaded AddMod and several interesting mods, but something isn't working right. I installed AddMod and then used it to install Grenade Range Increase and Easier Medical and Engineering Items.

Grenade Range Increase - removed all grenades from the game, to include back at base! Obviously not what was wanted or intended. Also the game soon after starting crashes to desktop.

Easier Medical and Engineering Items - seems to have work, but soon afterwards crashes to desktop.

I'd very much like to use these two mods but something isn't working. BTB, I'm running S2 from the disks that come with Silent Storm Gold, i.e. with Sentnals.

Advise would be greatly appreciated.

Simple Weapons Modding?

Total newbie, just got SS recently and even more recently got it working.

However, something is bugging the heck out of me - the wierd designations, i.e. .38 calibre Parabellum vic 9mm Parabellum and the odd weapons I'm finding in the hands of the Nazi troops. I've already seen more Mauser 1896 'broomhandle' pistols than I expect were actually on the Russian Front, not to mention all the Soviet weapons in the hands of Wehrmacht troops in the West.

Would it be difficult to:
1) change some of the designations?
2) change the weapons the Germans use?

If not I guess I'm doomed to fighting Nazi armed with M1 Carbines and BARs, both in 7.62mm of all things. I'm fully expecting to meet a 7.62mm 06 vic .30 06.

thanks
