Sorry everyone for being so silent, I don't check SWGEmu often these days, and I haven't visited MTG for a while now, I thought the website was still in suspended mode, but Davin fixed it!
Rinzler is right, the "problem" resides in the Target Status section, as it touches fonts for the game, I had totally forgotten about this "bug", I remember I was trying to fix it or rather find a way around to make the new Target Status work without touching the fonts themselves, but I couldn't find any UI file linked to the Target Status itself, and believe me I've been searching for a LONG LONG time, it seems there is simply no UI file related to it, unless it's somewhere else I haven't looked which I doubt since I extracted all patches and looked at every single UI file up to Patch 14.
It is somewhere, but where, that is the question.
The fonts themselves are pretty weird to work with, you basically have to guess which font goes where and which UI window uses which font.
I haven't worked on SWG modding for a good while especially for the interface, been experimenting on some other stuff such as texturing and planetary lighting but my computer is such a mess right now it's not easy to work, as soon as I clean up my hard drive and reorganize everything I tend to start over with the messiness, putting files and folders all over the place, I hate myself.
So yeah, for now if you really need to use parentheses, unchecking the Target Status section in the installer will do, make sure you uninstall the mod before reinstalling so as to not leave unwanted files laying around.
Now that I think of it, I made improvements to the Target Status after creating the installers and releasing the mods, but I never released those improvements, I'll have to look into that when I get the time.
Thanks for the support and for understanding folks, feels good to be back to MTG, now if someone could break the silence...
Well, at least MTG is fast to load, unlike another very popular website. *cough*
