Well, I found the bad file, was gwx-2.bin. Might want to check the file from that last filefront link for that 2.bin file. Downloaded twice from that link and was corrupt each time.
Got the mod installed and I'm quite impressed!
Feels like a different game, although I didn't make it out of port without crashing. Ha ha
Got caught in a sound loop error.
I'm going to update my sound drivers and see what happens. I haven't updated them for awhile.
So far I like what I see, I just need to get the boat nice and weathered
Thanks for the help guys!
