hmm, is there a way to do with v2?

or can i just recompile with v3?

[supag 0]

where can i get the install for v. 3?

[Jos 2,218]

not sure if its possible but i don't think so.

You cannot just recompile.. the syntax is different. you can however use it next to v2 since it uses the AU3 file ext...

ok, but i will just start using v.3. It will make it a lil easier if i just use v3

do u know where i can get it?

[Jos 2,218]

its still beta but has been very stable for me and lots more functionality.
