Semi-noob questions

So I played SH3 and posted here back after the game had just released, had a great time, then the game quit working and I just gave up on it. Bought a new computer a week or so ago (back to PCs), and found SH3 on Steam for $10.... so here I am again

That said, I'm encountering a couple different issues that I could use some help with.

- 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.

-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 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?

-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 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?

Danke
