What are your system specs? Using this mod requires a lot of memory, first and foremost.

I really don't have anything useful to add, other than that I can't use this mod at all for the reasons Frau K listed. I just wanted to say WELCOME ABOARD!

In a post of Frau Kaleun, in this same thread, there is the complete list for add to your englishnames.cfg. Please, read the instructions in the mod. The list there isn´t in the instructions of MFM full, but we have that list thanks to Frau Kaleun. I don´t find the post, but there is in this thread...I can´t read the 45 pages and become as you... For FPS: my PC is similar to your machine, and run perfectly with MFM full...but I use 4GbPatch. Best regards. Fitzcarraldo

Bloody hell mate! Thats what I get for pretending to RTFM at a late hour with glossy eyes. I guess I missed that and explains why I didnt see anything. I assumed through programmers magic all ships would just, SHOW UP!

Yes, you need to add the new MFM ships to EnglishNames.cfg with a display name for each, if you haven't already.
If you use a list I posted upthread, doublecheck it, I've reworked mine several times since then and found some duplicates - not sure if they were there when I posted it before or came later when I was tinkering. But you should have a line in EnglishNames.cfg for each ship that has a folder in data\Sea. You've got plenty of RAM, are you running a 64-bit OS or 32-bit? Either way, get the 4GB patch for the game .exe if you don't have it already. It will let the game use way more of your available RAM than it can without the patch. |

Really a must-have, especially with the 64 bit OS - if Windows is gonna let you use all that memory, why not let the game have as big a chunk of it as possible? |

Looks like a wonderful amount of work, sadly I am unable to get this one to fly. The documentation can use some help and if not in the download, then in the first post of this thread. But it looks like it had a lot of good work put into it so hats off to those involved.

The MFM should be JSGME ready, I think the only thing you'd have to do manually is add the necessary lines to the EnglishNames.cfg file in your data\Sea folder. Is the game crashing or freezing after enabling the mod with the necessary edits to EnglishNames.cfg? If so, have you already applied the 4GB patch for the sh3.exe file? If you have set up the mod correctly, but have not applied the patch, the game is still limited to 2GB RAM maximum no matter how much your system has available. Most people find that this is not enough to run the game with the full Merchant Fleet Mod enabled. IIRC trying to get into the Museum can be especially problematic if memory is an issue. |

Does anyone have a English names CFG for the latest download?
Just had a patrol and sunk a few of the ships and all i get when it come to identifying the ships is M01X, M08B etc.

Here's what I have as display names in EnglishNames.cfg for MFM ships:
The three 'AK' ships are listed as Naval Cargo Ship AM01A=Ammunition Ship The two 'AO' ships are listed as Fleet Oiler The three 'L' ships are listed as Heavy Merchant All the 'M' ships are Medium Merchant, except for: M10A=Hog Islander M21B=CAM-Ship M35B=Empire-type Freighter M35Hansa=Tall Hansa Freighter M36B=CAM Freighter MLaunchB1=Motor Launch MLaunchB2=Motor Launch The two 'O' ships are listed as Ore Freighter Q01B=Medium Merchant SLaunch01=Steam Launch And all the 'T' ships are Tanker, except for: T14B=Tanker CAM-Ship I think that covers all the stuff in my MFM download, but I've tinkered with everything so much lately that I can't remember what came from that and what got put in from other sources. If you have a ship that's not accounted for let me know and I'll see what I've got for it. |

If I did a copy/paste here it would be a giant wall of text.. most of which you don't need and what you did need would be mixed in with a lot of stuff you don't. I did do a copy/paste of what I had at the time a while back, which is upthread somewhere - that would be more like what you're looking for. I would still recommend double-checking it for errors and duplicates after you add it to your own EnglishNames.cfg, though. |

I could save myself a lot of time renumbering everything if I could just convince myself to add new names to the bottom of each list in the Ship Names mod rather than alphabetizing everything. But I can't. <sigh>
