Older mods

As you all may or may not know, I'm new here so I wouldn't know this, but is it possible to put mods made for older versions of fleet ops into 3.1.5?

I think FO versions are compatible retrospectively with each other. So sure, why not? Maybe some mods for very-very old versions could have difficulties, but 3.1.3 or 3.1.5 aren't too different. They should work.

actually they recently renamed a whole bunch of variables recently i believe. wouldnt that cause loads of odfs to have wrong lines?

You can easily fix those issues with text find/replace programs, but other than that, should generally be ok

Yes and no.  They would mostly work, however a few class labels for ships were re-named, and a couple other lines were aswell.  you can refer to this page to find out which ones were changed. Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - Renamed ODF commands/variables
