well on dads laptop since hes away for 2 weeks so doing a bit more work.

now wot do you mean by

Interface is a little messy and does not display the basic information bar correctly (and slightly misaligned).

fixed some of the other errors and prob fix the menu errors later in the week

also does it really need standalone=1 as that will make the mod even bigger were it does not need to. and thank you dominus for fixing the audio error for me

For the interface, the information bar you get for putting the cursor over a unit is under the Cinematic camera instead of right above the ship/station selected.

For the standalone, I'm afraid it does have to be 1 as some of the graphics like shield SODs are about triple the actual size of the ship.  I know it's an inconvenience, but it'll help with some of the graphics issues.

For the sounds, we need to know exactly what sound files need to be made into OGG files.  Perhaps the guide has a list on which files should be OGG and which files should not.

I would recommend not making it stand alone, because then modders who mod stock would like to use it to take advantage of FO coding easier with stock a2 TC's.

I believe all files can be .ogg or .wav . The choice is up to you

I'm using 1280 x 720 most of the time.  Sometimes I'll use 1280 x 800.

By the way, for a couple of weeks, I will not be working on this project or any other project related to Fleet Operations as I'm trying to get the Newport News Speedway up to a point where it can be released.

If you try the Federation, you may get different results.

how far along is this? anything specific you want tested?.

also plz enlighten me as im noob at these things, how does one install this copy/paste into a certin directory?

right to install you need to create a folder in the fleetops data directory called mods then extract this mod into a new folder (make sure any previous versions are deleted or make a new folder)

hopefully this mod is as complete as i can get it and stable

things missing:-
bik files as they cause ctd after being played in missions
some aspects of the menus are still in fo style for the simple reason of i was too lazy to go through absolutely everything to find the missing images
not yet standalone because for some reason it loves to ctd when the mod loads if in standalone
