So I was actually on the team for this very briefly 5 or 6 years ago. I didn't have any idea what I was doing, and I think my only contribution was a poor unwrap + texture job for some sort of mechanical thing in the dish level.
In retrospect, it looked like ass, and I'm sure glad it was cut. It's amazing to finally see the finished product! The mod is lots of fun, and really captures the feel of the original game. props.
