================
** PERMISSION **
================
- STEP Pack Authors: Any supplemental patch using these patches must be distributed by Official STEP channels such as
 the STEP Nexus page, forum, or wiki. STEP Packs are built on top of STEP Core, so any pack can
 have it's own patch built from the STEP Core Patch. It is no longer possible to build a off of
 this patch without it being a master, instead use the Core patch as the new patch and rename it
 when complete. Refer to STEP Moderator EssArrBee for any questions or requests.
 
- Everyone else: This patch merges plugins with permission from Brumbek author of SMIM, so using any texture set or
 mesh from SMIM that is included in this patch requires permission. With that being said, every other
 part is free to use. Make magic and use them how ever you like, just do not distribute the official
 versions elsewhere or to other STEP users. Direct them to the STEP Nexus page or STEP Patches GitHub
 page for the official versions. Refer to STEP Moderator EssArrBee for any questions or requests.
