There's an OF version out now.
But why the hell would you want the BotB skins for EiR? They're snow skins, they won't really look pretty on most of the EiR maps...

the botb skins edited the terrain as well and added snow to it, so technically everything would have snow if the map was done right Cheesy

well if the BOTB skins are in a seperate skin sga like the eir skins u can rename them to the eir skin pack and put them in the archieves folder...otherwise (if they are just in a giant BOTB sga) u need to unpack the sga....get the skin files out of it and repack it as the eir skin file...

You need to ask the author for permission first.

And it would need to be added to the .module, that or you could simply rename it to 'External Skin pack' and replace the current EiR skinpack. (You can even switch back & forth)

Still should ask permission though.

While that's true in terms of being legal, it's not in terms of being respectful to the author.
Imagine someone took the videos you put hours into; claimed him his own and got a lot of credit for it by others.
