The dx8 patch…

Hello everyone.
Do you remember the dx8 patch? Bump-mapping for planets and asteroids, ring shadows…

http://www.i-war2.com/forum/post.asp?me … FORUM_ID=4

…Unfortunately never released for legal reasons.

Anyway, I am still dreaming of these improvements (because I STILL play IW2, even in 2009), so let me ask this to your small community:
More fresh news?
Is Stephen still active on this forum?
Does anyone have this patch in a corner of his hard drive?
Should I continue to dream and cry?

I don’t expect miracles, but you know, nothing ventured, nothing gained.;)

Bye
