Are there any plans to add this? It truly is a great mod but friends and I can't (rather don't want to) play it until the host can get decent FPS as well.

(I do not know if this is already possible, hopefully it is!)
Secondly, any plans on adding a second version compatible with Alive? If you don't want to add support for dedicated servers, that would at least lessen the performance hit on the host. http://alivemod.com/
