The author of this mod (and many other great mods) disappeared. He doesn't answer PMs, his websites were taken down and the mods were all changed to "Unsupported".

Whatever his reasons, he's gone from all we can tell.

To that end, I started doing the conversion to VB4.0 myself as I need this mod as well. After I converted (basically, made it work, just not pretty) it to vB4, I realized that there was a lot of work to be done in the styles area. Styling is something I know next to nothing about however.

Thankfully Sarcoth offered to help and has been spending at least as many hours of work as I did on the upgrade, in upgrading the styling. He told me he should have things basically completed this coming week. Assuming that he has the time to complete what he needs to, I'll get a copy of it and then merge my changes. Once we're relatively sure that things are working, I'll post it here on vb.org.

I have it up and running on my own production site right now, but it's ugly as I said. I don't have all of Sarcoth's changes in place yet. But if anyone is curious, you can see it at www.darkhandofvalor.com. Click one of the application links from the navtab.

Also, someone PM'd me and offered a copy of the help files that were created by the author of the mod as well, so I hope to be able to include those as well with the release.

A few things to note right now.

Myself and Sarcoth are NOT the authors of this mod, nor do we claim to be. We're not accepting any donations (although I wish I was with as many offers as I've had. heh but thank you for the offers!) as we didn't write the code and I don't think it right to do so.

I used the 3.7 beta version here as my base when I did the conversion to vb4.

What bugs that were in that version, are probably in the vb4 version. While I will do what I can (and I ASSUME) Sarcoth will do what he can in the styling area, this isn't our mod and we're doing this as favor to everyone that needs it. Support for it will be spotty and at this point, I wouldn't plan on getting any new features added, etc.

Our primary focus will be making what is there already, work with vb4.

I know many of you are awaiting the vb4 version and we'll get it to you as soon as we can (again, this coming week more than likely).
