Thank you for paying attention. I sent an E-mail to soupdragon but it seemed something was wrong with my mailbox, I haven't received a reply. I am a Chinese student so I hope I can explain my question clearly.

It is simple: I downloaded some patches from this website to replace the Command Section with another ship. But while in the game, the ship list (I mean while in the base) doesn't show me the name of the ship I've set but still 'Command Section'. I want to know if there's a way to solve it.

Maybe I didn't make myself understood, I know my English is very poor.

OK. These names are stored in a .csv file, which is easy to edit. I think you need the 14.6 patch installed for this to work, so install that if youhavent already.

Now, create a 'resource' folder under your Iwar2 folder. In that folder, create a 'text' folder.

Now, go into the resource.zip file found in your Iwar2 folder, into the text folder within, and extract 'GUI.csv' into your new resource/text folder.

Finaly, open up the new gui.csv in your faveorite editor (excel works at a pinch, but notepad is clearer) and find line 63:

ship_type_command_section,COMMAND SECTION

Change COMMAND SECTION to whatever you like.
