That is an option to GW you know, that you don't have to run/install. What version of GW are you running?
Also, if you've optically locked onto a contact, click on 'ship' at the top left of the data notebook and that'll automatically open the ship registry manual to the correct nationality and ship description. It still won't tell you what the ship is, but it's not too hard to recognize small merchants from large cargos, and tankers from passenger liners. Or DDs and carriers. --grins-- |
I had the same problem. You chose to install "Generic ship names" with GW. Makes you to read CAREFULLY what the install says, not just click every single thing thinking it's good.

I spent 6 hours trying to figure it out before I gave up. Im sure its a great mod, but I've learned that on these forums any bad speech about the GW is the same as cussing in church.:rotfl:

OK, don't quote me on this, as I'm at work and can't double-check things at home.
I believe you need to decompress all 4 bin files and the installer file before running the installer. Otherwise running the installer it will not recognize the bin files as being legit files. |
You sure you downloaded the whole think correctly and that you have SH3 patched to 1.4b. And it mustn't be moded, it has to be a clean install. CLEAN!!! PLus, there is a chance you're download are corrupt. Re-downloading is my suggestion.
And you can't unzip .bin files. They're file something. They ussualy come with a .cue file so that you can make a CD out of it. In GW the installer "unzips" the bin files.
For Hyperion2206. Download GW again and make sure you don't check the "Generic ship name" tag! Then use the Kid's Mod.
