    Permissions Disclaimer:

    Aedenthorn returned and updated a lot of their mods, but I've made a decent bit of my own changes and rewrote enough of the code that I'd like to continue maintaining it. If you'd like to support Aedenthorn, the original author, then go ahead and use theirs. If there's a change that you particularly enjoyed in this version of the mod, you can keep using this. Cheers!
