recieved! thanks mate, hopefully i can get it working.
*hmmm, i got it to load up all of the maps, but no textures are present except for the radar minimap(which, oddly, displays the hi-res version foundin my direct folder)
guess you have to somehow specify where it's supposed to look for textures.
*nm, i found the mirror to fice's website and the reeve download. It had both of the files i was missing to be able to see the textures.
