I can probably run both versions simultaneously on the same server, that is fine. I don't want to make the other game patch, since they don't have the mod and it can't be installed mid-game.
It is a shame that 3.02 is not out yet

That would solve all the problems.
Given the server can run both versions at once, I guess 3.01 with mod is the consensus? Does anyone object to that? I don't want to delay the hosting any more than necessary and everyone needs to make their pretender with the same mod so we need a firm decision.
