I commented ideas to your your main thread. It just so happens im part of a modding team. Sadly, im the lead texturer, and you more than have that covered. But, the head of my modding group is the main coder. I gave him another probono project like this (nuclar apocolypse) but im not sure how much he can do. And this looks like it wont take an extreme amount of time to do. Ill mention this to him.
