I'd tell you that bumping threads is poorly looked upon but lately the site has been, let's say, a bit too quiet so whatever.
As for the mod, I haven't really followed the development closely. After a a quick read-through, I guess could pick up the last files that were shared in the thread and finish the mod myself. However, @defreili hasn't been around since April and I would hate to cut the ground from under his feet should he come back at somepoint to finish it.
