Logan- To add to what LOH said Juansman is quite good. He did some work on helos, and CG and his stuff is damn good. Also i could write that dlg editor tutorial. (if it will help your mod go faster )
I'm being lazy I don't feel like fixing the patcher so I want you to search your override folder for the files: appearance.2da portraits.2da and heads.2da. If you have any of those files in there, I will need you to send em to me.
