all i can say is dont worry about the current version as i only put it up because my laptoip fried and found that verion so has a lot of bugs (that were resolved in the version on my fried laptop ) next version may come out to fix as many of these bug as possible but not all are fixable untill the next fo patch anyway

Here's a corrected version of the teamcolors.odf file.  Should correct a few errors but FO has the actual names and color indexes hard-coded (as does stock A2).

I was unable to download the last version it said it was going to take like 10 hours to download a 400MB file, with my speeds it should take no longer than 2 hours.

Could you use alternative hosting with the next version please?

If you want send me a copy via yousendit or something and I can host it on MSFC if you wish. A lot of FO modders are on MSFC and we have fast download speeds and lots and lots of bandwidth and storage. So much so I doubt I would ever use it all.

ok im now working on fixing the issues i can so please let me know wot the issues are

there are some changes being made that is not inline with stock a2 these are mainly for compatability issues

changes so far:

- GUI has been modified to allow the extr unit selections without serious gui messing uo
- editor mode is now ctrl + E just because ctrl + A was dumb
- rts_cfg has a few extra lines just to enable game options
- label.map has a few extra lines to allow all extra bits to be named
- borg.odf has latinum value this is to allow planetary shields
- craft.odf and station.odf have maxextra weapons and extra weapon hardpoint commands to fix tech  assim issue
- audio.odf uses FO values to fix annoying sound issues
- most bmp images have been converted to png just to save space
- some screens have been altered to accomodate the changes in layout
- shields use the fo default shields sod with a slightly altered stock shield effect to fix the shield issue
- textures are in the texture root folder as FO has removed rgb folder

i think thats all the needed changes and i think ive fixed the bugs i am able but still please let me know any bugs from currently released version and i will hopefully upload a new version by end of the week

also many people have been making me aware that megaupload has been having issues with either speed just just general allowing to d/l if anyone knows of other free file sharing sites that will allow atleasr 1gb uploads please let me know

I hate Mod DB!

Most if not all ModDB files are actually hosted via Game/Filefront.

That's not what I was complaining about.  It's that you are forced to watch the popup adds just to click the download link.
