never mind. figured it out. just copy the resources and textures folder from the patch into your mod folder, and then edit module.ini, insert the following lines at the end of all the existing codes:
load_module_resource=ani_defenses
load_module_resource=anim_handgrip
load_module_resource=newshields
load_module_resource=modtextures
load_module_resource=modmaterials
