Release v1.1 — play with unmodded friends · Binary1936/machine-party-8p

This release has now been play tested in a real lobby and it doesn't seem to break anything, if any issues arise, please let me know.

New: compatibility with vanilla (unmodded) clients

You can now keep the mod installed and still play ordinary sessions with friends who don't have it:

Join or host lobbies containing unmodded v1.5.0 players. The mod detects them automatically — no settings, no toggles.
Mixed lobbies cap at 4 players (a vanilla game client can't handle more). A 5th player trying to join a mixed lobby is refused with a version message. Lobbies where everyone runs the mod still seat 8, exactly as before.
Mixed lobbies play the exact vanilla rotation — including the wheat-field cutscene, which the mod normally removes. Unmodded players get precisely the game they know.
Two different mod versions still refuse each other cleanly, and v1.1 will not connect to v1.0 (they are network-incompatible — everyone with the mod should update together).

Harmless log spam: unmodded players' game logs may show rpc node checksum failed lines in mixed sessions. This is engine noise, verified to have no effect on gameplay.
Install/uninstall is unchanged — see README.txt in the zip. Uninstalling restores the byte-identical original game.
