1).I didn't say Hammer And Sickle was made by Nival? 2.) So who does, since developers don't? Hammer and Sickle took me 45 minutes to play...that was the shortest game I've ever seen. If I wanted a 45 minute game I'd only pay .99 cents for it.

I got it to work finally; I saved the game on the world map but it didn't work. Then I realized maybe the Addmod.exe program is in the wrong place? so I took it out of the subdirectory it makes for itself and put it directly into the Sentinels folder itself. Once I did that ; a list shows up. I picked the world map save game from the list and one of the three RS3 selections on the right. And it didn't work. So I picked one of the other RS3 selections and the world map save, and it worked!

TEXT DELETED As for mentioning TFTD, I thought people were talking about Xcom and Xcom like games here. TFTD; was definitely not Xcom I; The gamescapes were too...too repetitive and boring and didn't have an interesting development as you went along. Also there was nothing new game design wise was that created. I was looking forward to a Next Step in development. I had to wait unitl Xcom 3 for that. Xcom 3 should have been Xcom 2, actually. TFTD was called a "Money Grab" on the part of Microprose. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

The Gollop brothers Didn't make TFTD. They were hired as consultants, because Microprose owned the rights at the time. Thats probably why I only really liked Xcom 1 and Xcom 3. Anyways, I guess everyone heard the rumours a few years ago about 2 Xcom games coming out eventually. One was to be a FPS the other was to be a turned based game similar to Xcom I and that Firaxis was secretly working on it. But for the last 3 years I havn't heard anything since, so it doesn't look promising.

Nival was bought out by an American company, after they made Hammer and Sickle. Actually I think H & S wasn't made by Nival anyways, it was a mod, that Nival sold as a full game. Anyways after Nival was bought to focus on development of Console games like Playstation and Xbox, most of the original people who worked on Silent Storm left and joined other companies. So unfortunately I don't think there will be another Silent Storm. Although, Jowood I think owns the rights and probably the engine, which could be used to make another Silent Storm if they wanted.

The version I'm using says June 2004 version. Thats ok. I'll figure it out, but thanks anyways.

I tried both. First I tried using Addmod and saving on the world map. Result:No change Then I enabled a custom game then started a New game. Result:No change

I installed RandomStormMod for Sentinels which is supposed to add 18 new random encounters to Poland. Anyways, none of the new random encounters seem to be showing up. The only random encounters are the old ones from before?

GameFAQs: Silent Storm: Sentinels (PC) FAQ/Walkthrough by Guilersk Ya, Sentinels is much too short. The good ones always feel that way. When I played KOTOR I , I felt the same way. Hopefully somebody will submit a campaign or random encounters or make your own I guess. I guess you've seen this mod somebody made that adds more random encounters to Sentinels; I havn't tried it yet myself, so I don't know if it works. StrategyCore Files > RandomStorm (RS3_mod)

I can't remember where on the map the swiss encounters are. Its been about 5 years since I played.

So you only have one soldier? And you went to the Swiss map? Well I believe you may have to wait along time(I think up to 10 minutes) or either that wait until your level goes up alot for the Swiss terriotory. Try going to England or Poland for random encounters. P.S. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the SS collection? I've sent emails to Gamersgate and Jowood to start selling them online but have never recieved a reply.

I don't know if this thread helps for Win 7; but I'd thought I'd mention it; Silent Storm

Ya, I had to click on something like, English settlement complete, then moving the right mouse button around viewed the scene. Now to figure out how to use this baby. I wonder if there is a limited number of ground terrain to choose from. I havn't modded yet myself but would like to, too bad there wasn't somebody with maya, I could give him new models and he could import them for me. I still don't know why nobody has submitted any maps in 8 years. Except one for H&S?

I tried no less than 14 possible solutions, I spent about 8 hours today to no avail. I was pretty tired and wanted to give up until tommorrow but I said lets keep looking a little bit more. Dial-a-fix - Lunarsoft Wiki I found this; it fixes corrupt problems that might creep in in Windows XP. I Repaired Permissions and several other things etc etc. Restarted my computer. Re ran the setup.exe for MSQL server and it seemed to install all the way. I ran Mapedit.exe and it ran! I started the Mapediter and there is a bunch of options on the like different maps. But for some reason the main grid screen is a blank grey color? Isn't it supposed to load in a map?

Drool, drool.... I've restarted my computer and it still won't install. I've been researching on the internet, So far I've tried 5 different solutions people have posted but NONE of them worked! I'll keep trying. One problem is I have Win xp Home which makes it difficult to change policies. I've tried rebooting in safe mode but the message comes up; "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". and have tried 5 solutions to no avail so far.
