Smooth movement 7
Smooth movement 7 is an attempt to bring many ambitions I've had to this mod regardless of the workload. Currently it is in beta and it is VERY incomplete. Feel free to leave bug reports, I don't want to discourage that, but I am very confident that I'm aware of more bugs and the incomplete state of things that even most people wont notice. Theres not one thing I cant fix. It just takes time. I want it to be the best and most complete mod when it comes to locomotion. The problem is my ambitions keep increasing. adding to the workload. I will call it smooth movement 7 when it is fully working and stable.
