I've got another one, ? that is

[King George III]

real simple one, or at least I hope it is. How do you change the appearance of a newly created unit's name in the game from UNIT_CRUISER to Cruiser? Can't seem to figure that one out on my own.

In ctp2_data/language/gamedata (probably english) there is a file called gl_str.txt. There you have lines like:
UNIT_SETTLER "Settler"

Just add one like this:

UNIT_CRUISER "Cruiser"

Thanx. Almost everything is right now. but now I am having some trouble with the Apolyton Pack airunits.slc file when I move any original air unit. I figured I might have some trouble with the new ones but it's only the original ones like the bomber. my C++ is a little rusty so i'm having trouble figuring out how to fix it. The error message is "APOL_airunit.slc:111:Array index 0 out of bounds". does anyone perhaps know what that actually means?

Not specifically, but if you set DebugSlic to No, it should go away.

Find userprofile.txt in ctp_program/ctp directory, and set the line DebugSlic from Yes to No. That should stop it

Your country thanks you. Er, at least I do. Maybe now I can slow down a little bit and give you a break. Thanx again.
