I HATE YOU!
No, actually I'm joking once again about the fact that I'm still playing on a seven-year-old rig.

- I've installed SH3 Commander, which works fine. Only problem I have is that the ship names aren't loading in-game -- I still get "coastal merchant" or whatever in my log and report, not an actual name.
|
Answered already but I'll reiterate: Names don't show up until the patrol is over, you've opened Commander and looked at the patrol. It will then show up in the game log as well.

-Also, when I load SH3 from SH3C, I get an error message saying that SH3 is already running and the option to abort or retry. The game still loads with everything from SH3C (except the ship names), but is there a reason I'm getting that error message?

I'm not sure how mods work with Steam versions. Some say they play with no problems, others have complaints. Steam-related? I don't know. The only time I tried to download something from them they told me I was outside of the United States and couldn't. I always thought Utah was a separate country. Now I know.

-I seem to have a temperamental attack periscope which gets stuck in the down position. Sometimes the periscopes will also stick going up or down. Is there a fix for this?
|
I've never seen that one either. Are you using any mods? There is at least one that changes the observation 'scope to different keys. I don't know about the attack periscope though.

-Is there a way to unlock the CFG files in a Steam download? The basic.cfg file is locked and I'm unable to modify it.
|
I can't answer that one, for obvious reasons.

-I remember when I last played, there was a radio message enhancement mod, where you would receive a ton more messages from BdU and other boats, as well as a "world mod" that added harbors and harbor traffic. I'm looking at downloading GWX -- does that include this sort of thing?
|
Yes, GWX includes hundreds of messages. There is also this mod, which adds more.

And this one, which reduces them.
