I have finished the mod, and it's all ready to go apart from one small potential problem that I want to run by Burnsaber. As soon as I hear back from him with either a solution or a nod in the directon of 'it doesn't matter', then I can post the mod for the game to start.
Many thanks to everyone for all the kind words in their PM replies. I like to consider myself a generally helpful person, and was more than happy to help out here so that everyone can enjoy a unique type of game. Also managed to learn a bit about modding in the process, so I've benefitted from all this as well
