6 month update: (For the maybe 1c person interested):
I am still working on this mod, but very, very slowly. A combination of SDK snags, starting graduate school, and somewhat more mental difficulty in getting myself focused have slowed work on this mod way down. I am still planning to keep updating this as time goes on, though it may take awhile, and will probably be ore as a personal project that gets posted than something for other people, but hopefully I can rouse myself to put out updates more quickly in the future.
