You guys got it all wrong. I'd be a hypocrite if I got upset with them. It's IvanDx's mod at the end of the day. He gave me his blessing to do this, but it's not my place to tell other people to do the same. After all, everything I've learned here I've learned from frankensteining other mod author's works. If you were to pick apart the code I used, you'd find about 2% original Tristam work, and the rest would be from the top mod authors around. Too many for me to even begin to give credit to. Besides, what's the harm? We're all just making the game more fun for one another, right?
Also, Idk why there needs to be an SMX version anyway. IIRC, all you had to do with my version was rename it so that it appears after SMX in your mod folder, alphabetically, and it would work. I will say, his version is a lot more cleaned up though.
I wouldn't say "learn". But I've been taught by the other members of this modding community how to rotate models. So the basics of the basics. After that, it's just been a few weeks of trial and error, as usual. I'm not done yet, but I'll get there.
