WHy hasn't anyone else tried just porting the v3.0 rc script?
I would do it but I don't have the time... I mean if I did I would.
1 Once a port has been handed over to a new author I would guess its as much down to, reasonable effort should be made to contact the new author.
2 the orignal v3 port is not available anymore anyway, it was removed from the thread @ handover.
I would look at a thread in site feedback forum if I was you to get a gist on whats not acceptable or is regarding updating hacks.
ATM the only way to get this out as a release is a complete rewrite I believe, and even that may be open to accusations.
Even a private transaction regarding installing this onto another members board for 3.5 may well be outside the bounds of accepatable, due to the fact that code has been modified in a non personal way without the authors prior consent.
If any coders wish to contact me about a complete rewrite possiblity as a group project feel free. If your not a coder do not bother. I have a new name figured allready for it, aswell as it working in 3.5 with extra features. It will need to be rewritten in a way that it cannot become open to accusations from the current projecteers.
