Despite the fact that the mod is currently an independent project. You can't ignore the fact that it's basically based on pre-existing mods. In many cases, the authors gave permission for publication. The authors who could not be contacted - their code was completely replaced and redesigned. Nothing remains of their original work. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
