Hey Jeff,

I most definitely have not kept up, but good to see you still rockin' it. I just stopped by out of curiosity to see how SH and the community was doing.

I always said I'd be interested to just release the code so its development can continue without my (active) intervention. But even though I did manage to release the file parsers like 4-5 years ago IIRC, just this alone took a lot of work because I had to modernize the toolchain to make it work (for general consumption) and remove a lot of licensed code, and address some other issues.

But to give you an idea, the S3D application itself (which uses those parsers) contains probably 8-10x more code, uses old dependencies, has similar issues (with regards to licensing, dependencies, etc.), has an installer project that no longer works, etc.

The amount of work needed to modernize S3D is not trivial, and I am not sure it is worth the time anymore. Surely, the SH (mod) scene is not as active as it used to be?

Perhaps when I retire IRL, who knows, getting there
