me too! ;) make sure you snag the T&P version of this mod in the mods section if you have the expansion. also, try out my uber script creating tool for quick battles and multiplayer in the utilities section. it offers a plethora of options that makes using some other mods and scripts worthless, and without the hassle of xml editing or learning to script.
