finally it's approved :) good job!

butchs:
Thank you. It was the easiest mod approval I had to date. I must be improving. :D

butchs:
I noticed that many people are downloading just the mod. Please note that this mod is a 2 part mod. Yea it is unusual but that is what we need to do. You first need to run the install then the mod. Otherwise it will not work. See the first post for more details.
:o

flapjack:
aaargh, yes I forgot to ping you about this. any particular reason why you didn't pack all stuff into one file, just out of curiosity? I have a feeling that most feedback you will be getting will be because somebody didn't read mod's info... ;)
