questions of MP construction

[Puzz3D]

Beta 5 doesn't have a desync problem, but you may want to run it just to be sure it works with your configuration. I was thinking of starting with beta 8 just to see if it desyncs with your configuration. If it doesn't, then we can't use your LAN for debugging this problem.

The best way to do the installs it to install MTW/VI, make a copy of it and install the mod on the copy. You can then copy the modded version to the other machines. This way you only have to install MTW/VI once and make copies of that each time you want to install a different version of the mod. There is no way to uninstall the mod, and the mod can only be successfully installed on an unmodded version of MTW/VI.
