Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
you don't need an animater just make the animation for running/walking faster. I don't think it's possible though unless you can find the code where the shift key changes the walking speed, good luck with that.
