I personally think we owe the community an explanation:

Back then, when 3.6.29.0 was out and we released our trailer, the plan was to make some more good weapons, and then release a bundle with everything we had so far. When we were done with this, WA 3.6.30.0 was almost out, so Entuser decided to wait until it was out, and then port Project X to it (he didn't want it to be obsolete after a few weeks). However, Entuser was a bit busy when 3.6.30.0 came out and he didn't start work on his port. We were then told that WA 3.6.31.0 was coming out, and we decided to wait some more. When it was out, he was busy again with more real life stuff, and he didn't have any time to look into porting it.
When he finally had time to start on the port, he noticed that many functions were inlined (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_function) and everything had changed address (this was to be expected). This demotivated him, but even then he started working on the port, and then he had to leave again. I, personally, was a bit tired of waiting, and we weren't really able to do anything else. The modification was already pretty inactive, but _Kilburn was still working on weapons (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aoP2DBZ2JM). When Entuser was back (again), I did my best to try and motivate him, and it worked, as he started coding again, and got the "core" done, which apparently is the weapon modification, but not the scripting or the DirectX integration. Hopefully this would have been a step for the better, but then he had to go away once again, for whatever reason. As of right now I'm unsure whether he's at home or somewhere else, but I'm fairly sure he's somewhere else right now.

I believe this should shed some light on the current status of Project X.

UPDATE (11/06/2011): He's back and coding again, and the modification should be ready for release soon enough.

We can make a money group, type: $ 10 for person to motivate him :D

100 persons... = $ 1000 :P
