You make that sound abnormal That's all a mod really is in the first place
I should qualify that by saying that while the edit of one file will in fact require the inclusion of all the other files in the module regardless of whether or not they've been modified, we've modified near 250 scripts across 47 modules. More than half the area files (are, ifo, and git) have been modified as well. And like I say if we were to just throw all this stuff in override it would be a mess. This is really the preferred way.

That's alot. I'll personally make sure to mail Gamespot, IGN, Gamespy, 1up and so on when you're finished, so that you'll get your credit you deserve
