The stock Override_InvConfiguration_Slots.txt file is pretty crappy; it is just a copy of the Abbidon slot layouts. Thus, I am working on a real generic slot layout file. The set of layouts should be generic enough to use in most any mod, and I plan to send it in to Aaron to hopefully get it put in as the default file.
All ships use the same slot layouts, bases use the same, and units use the same sort of layouts, just scaled down a bit. The ships and fighters are basic rectangular shapes, and the bases and units are squares.
What I need to know is, are there enough slots to comfortably use every hull (without excessive use of multiple decks)? Do the layouts "work?"
You can load the mod up directly, or combine it with any other mod by copying the slot file into that mod, then editing the Mod_Definition.txt file for that mod to read:
Override InvConfiguration Slots := TRUE
