Having looked at the source code it seems that, among other things, it pulls the art assets from your game installation directory. How can you distribute this mod to run on smart phones/smart pads, without redistributing parts of the original game such as the assets?
That's a good effin question. The way this is usually solved is by recreating the resources with a community effort. Another way would be to transfer resources from your purchased copy, if that is possible. Lastly, though they are avoiding promises, the devs are looking into a mobile port, so that may never even be an issue.
