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.

O.k. I've just re-tried to install MSQL server again from the CD by running setup.exe. A message comes up saying; Configuring and installing and a installation green bar comes up showing the progress bar. But then after it seems to install the green progress bar starts moving to the left just like its uninstalling itself. Then when I check my computer it shows it was not installed. So my computer for some reason won't allow it to install?

Ya, I guess your right, although I tried many times getting MSQL server running on my computer about 5 years ago and couldn't figure it out and gave up. I just discovered this thread last night; Apparently alot of people got it work 8 years ago, but everyone abandoned their work without submitting anything. How to build a simple map - StrategyCore Forums Also I read this; Microsoft SQL Server - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It seems the MSQL server edition they used with the game was probably Server 2000 version 8.0 Shiloh edition. I don't own Vista. Is there a Vista version of MSQL server? Like version 10.0 or 10.25? that would work? How did you get it to run on Win xp before, cause I obviously must have done something wrong. Also I wonder if another SQL software program would do the same thing? P.S. I'm going to give it another try, I think.

If Blunderll got the Map Editor working for S2, he should seriously write a tutorial for the rest of us. Because, like, thousands, maybe millions of people have tried to get the Map editor working but have been unable to. As for the S3, mod called Sandy Wastes, I remember, the guy making it was a game developer, he not only got the map editor working but it looks like he got the Maya plugin working, He quickly abandoned the work on it though. I can't afford a $2000.00 software program just to make new models for Silent Storm, although I'm a fairly good modeller with Blender right now. Too bad some Silent Storm fanatic didn't convert the Maya plugin to Blender... Hopefully Jagged Alliance Back In Action will come with a workable map editor.

Its been years since I saw Blunterll's blog. But I think the last time I heard from him he was simply interested in reskinning things. So, yes, it does look like he managed to get the map editor working, but for some reason, he hasn't released any maps. Neither has anyone else?

I've searched all over the internet for about 8 years now and still cannot find any new maps for Silent Storm. Has anyone ever gotten the Map Editor to work?

The game was crashing to desktop sometimes. Now after meeting Starghosts for the first time, it crashes about every 60 seconds. I havn't played this game for about 5 years, is there something to stop it crashing or is the problem the Consequence mod? P.S. I just came to the part about Assault on Wargot ship and it keeps crashing. I can't continue game? It either crashes or a picture of mission briefing is on screen but no words or buttons?

Well it still has some bugs in it. Occasionally for some reason I get CTD's. One of the maps, one of them with Nuclear power towers or something, you can't walk over the whole area, its restricted? My Reticulan character is not allowed to climb ladders to go on roof with the rest of my squad, thats a big problem for me. But overall its great! Thanks Derectible!

Well if was so easy why didn't Altar include those extra random maps in the game? Why would they cripple their own game? That would affect sales of their own game? Doesn't make any sense to me. But thanks, the game is alot better now. This is one of the best I've played.

How is this possible? Correct me if I'm wrong but...two things. One is Altar said there were more random maps in the game but they never had time to finish them for the game. Two other modders noticed more random maps in the files but said they were incomplete and were not able to add them into the game? Are you saying you found a way to finish the incomplete encounter maps? Is there a way to make more encounter areas?
