Anyone? or perhaps someone could make a mod with Ryuho and Kaiyo, like the Nagato Myoko mod, where we just enable JSGME and add their names to the names.cfg file.

If you added them manually you may not have added all the necessary files or if you used notepad they may not be entered correctly, or a combination of things. The mission editor does some strange stuff sometimes.

If you give me a link to the 'shippack', I could look at it when I get a minute.

Edit: read it again and you said "invalid Class entry". The 8 is Unit type not class, it may be referring to the Class= is incorrect. The class referred to in a mission file is the 'Classname' from the Roster or the shipname.cfg file.
