Kahunapule,
I sent you an email about this about 9 months ago:
The issue might be that all of the modules on ebible.org have a minimum
requirement for sword 1.7.4 in place, regardless of actual module content
vs. sword engine capabilities. (I did not validate ALL, but I have tested
~20 or so modules to import them into Bibletime.) You can make modules
appear by manually adjusting the minimum sword requirement in the conf
file. That's what I've been doing to get ebible texts into Bibletime 2.10.
It appears that Xiphos and Bibletime are properly testing the module
minimum requirements against the sword engine available to them. If a
module has a need for a higher sword engine, it is being excluded from the
list of available texts. Since no module on ebible has a minimum sword
engine 1.7.3 or lower, none are available to Xiphos or Bibletime that use
that engine.
