("As always, just insert this into the SH3 Commander/CFG
folder and overwrite the old one.)

I removed and saved the original "Ship Names.cfg" folder and then inserted the mods' "Ship Names.cfg" folder into Commander's CFG directory. Sorry, but this did not work for me. Where did I go wrong?

Should I have left the original "Ship Names.cfg" folder alone and just inserted the mod folder into the CFG directory? Would these two folders have combined data maybe and worked? Please be more specific; thanks.

Also, where is there a skins mod to go into Commander that will make the MFM ships change as the years progress? I've heard of one but can't seem to find it.

Default Ships Names and MFM skins

Von Zelda,
Go to the forum thread listed below...the third post gives you three FTP links. Click on one of the links and then scroll down until you see "IAMBECOMELIFE" click on his name and you will see the MFM skins mod you want to download.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...171019&page=26

I think I understand where you might be confused on Steve's Ships Names mod. Frist, in the readme included with Steve's mod is a list of additional ship classes that you can copy and insert into the existing EnglishNames.cfg file in your SH3 Data/Sea folder. You just need to remove, as Steve points out, any class type that he has changed from the original EnglishNames.cfg. for example in the original cfg file you have L01B = Heavy Merchant 01 you delete it because you are replacing it with L01B = Glennapp Class Merchant. The other new class names he provides you simply paste into the correct position within the EnglishNames.cfg list. Then in game when you spot and identify or sink a ship you will see for example a Bamora class merchant or African Monarch class merchant rather then seeing the same old "medium merchant" over and over again.

Second, The Ships Names.cfg file that Steve provides, you copy over the existing cfg file in SH3 Commander.Then after a patrol when SH3 Commander generates a patrol report it will use real ships names to identify your victims Here is an example of a patrol entry in SH3 Commander...

Ship sunk!
|Grid BE 82|
Sea Snapper (Old Tranp steamer), 3829 GRT/ts|
Cargo: Explosives. Crew: 60. Crew lost: 42

Make sure you have "Use Real Ships Names" option checked in SH3 Commander options.

Hope this answers your questions....I am running out of typing energy..it sucks getting old Sailor Steve please feel free to rap my knuckles with a ruler if I screwed any of this up!

Here I am , asking for your help.

I know there is a fix for the MFM that stops ships from lagging behind the convoy after the torpedo hits , or after the first deck gun shell fired.

I have this problem now and it is annoying. Enemy tanker doing 10 kts and when I fire the first shell , suddenly her speed drops to 5 kts even before the shell hits (successfully or not)

Anyway , I can not find the fix.
Can I please have some instructions where to find it?

Thanks a lot in advance

Default Displacement mod

I think you are talking about the MFM3.2 displacement correction mod. The problems you are experiencing are talked about around page 91 plus or minus a page or two of this thread. I got the impression that that mod did not fix the issue. Read through that section is the best answer I can give you.

Sorry I can't help. I don't recall ever encountering that problem. More likely I did and just didn't notice it. Anyway, I have no idea how to fix it.

Default 3.3 CTD

After a long break fancied a game or two .
Fresh install of SH3 and GWX and on patrol 13 in current career, then i came across this mod.
Cant resist a good ship mod so DL 3.3 and installed.

It CTDs with last 10% to load which indicates a ship issue to me, probably one already in GWX thats been rejigged to fit SH3s folder names. I did start to read all of this thread but gave up lol.

Any clues ppl ?

Will go back to reading the thread in the hope of finding a reason or will have to wind the mind back a few years

Bigboywooly,
If I remember correctly one cause of CTD's with the Merchant Fleet mood was not having the 4GB patch applied to SH3. This is a memory hungry mod. Have you created a new captain and check to see if the new career will load? The only other thing that comes to mind is a conflict with another mod.

Good call, had applied the 4gb patch to my first GWX install but not the MFM one

Started after that.
Now to add some other mods :hmmm

Edit
Have my GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V7 added in with a couple of tweaks

Glad it was an easy fix. A bit off topic but I have found the thread linked below to be a great source for thinking about what mods to add to GWX.
