You can make packages out of the files in the Base and ext-none directories, installing Base before ext-none. You will have to add 'pretty_board_urls' to the settings table first though.
And you'll need a .htaccess file, you can use the one here as an example.

How does it work, and how would URLs look after installing this? For those of us, who can't quite make sense of the code...

You can see an example at http://ftgforums.com/private/pretty/
Only boards are done, and only on a few topics, so far.. I'll be working to get the others working too ;)

Please search around, there have been a thousand topics answering that before.
As I said above, I don't really want to provide support for this until it is at a really usable stage. Use at you own expense! :)

Okay, it's a working stage now. Please install the base package first, rename example.htaccess to .htaccess (edit it if you want to) and then install the ext-none package. Enjoy.

This version does only pretty URLs for boards, and only on certain templates.

This looks very promising and much needed!

Do you intend to take it the the status of a full blown mod installed through Admin?

I'll probably keep it roughly the same as it is now. I'm using multiple packages for two reasons: it's harder to screw everything up because you can test whether your new urls will work before you actually change the urls outputted by your forum, and because you can then have multiple formats. I prefer to have extentionless urls (/board/topic/0/) but some might want other formats (/board/topic.0.html for example).

Sounds good to me. Do you have an estimate when pretty URLs will work for topics too, and not just boards?

Not yet. The boards are quite easy as it's all done through an array stored in the settings table. The topic urls won't be. I'm still trying to decide which way would be best to store them.

Guess what? Topic URLs are done already :)

This is the proper 0.1 release.

Again, please install the base package first, rename example.htaccess to .htaccess (edit it if you want to) and then install the ext-none package. Enjoy.

[Edit] Just installed it on my 30907 posts, 1332 topics forum, and it seems to be working perfectly! I was worried it might time out PHP, but it would probably only do that on huge forums.

The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

Dem0n, it is only for SMF 1.1. What are you using?

Hmm, thanks for spotting that :)
I've actually found a few errors, that release wasn't as bugfree as I had hoped. :(
