Default HOWTO: Simultaneous 306 and 308

I tried setting up my Dom3 install with both 306 and 308. I want to run a 308 MP game in network server mode, but I'm in 3 MP games which at this point require a 306 client.

I'm using the following directory structure, Code:


lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 May 4 12:14 /usr/local/bin/dom306 -> /usr/local/games/dominions306/dom3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 May 4 12:15 /usr/local/bin/dom308 -> /usr/local/games/dominions308/dom3

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 4 12:19 /usr/local/games/dominions3 -> /usr/local/games/dominions308
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 4 12:09 /usr/local/games/dominions306
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 4 12:12 /usr/local/games/dominions308



But if I want to have a 308 game server always up and running, it may cause problems with the running server if I change the link to point to 306, in order to run a 306 client.

There is only one configuration file for Dom3 that I could find, /usr/local/.install_locations/dominions3, it contains just one line, Code:

/usr/local/games/dominions3



Has anyone figured out how to manage this? I don't see any command line switches available that would let me specify an alternate installation directory.
