If the plugin compiles on the forums, and this does, please do not post a compiled version. In other words, you can omit the .smx

While I agree the idea was originally yours, and he most certainly started with your plugin to make his own, he does credit you in the thread.

I do not see a credit to you in the author field of the plugin, but the code appears to be at least 60% different from your own. A mention there would have been better, but not required due to the amount of changes.

Asking the original author is always perfered, but not required.

Remember this is a open source community, and a certain amount of "borrowing" is expected. People learn by doing this and not only that, but sharing your code so others can use is what open source is all about.
