Trooper,
For beginning players, yeah, they might not know the differences between the versions of the game. (Versions being releases, and the designation after patching it.) Most "old" JA2 players have been playing with older copies of the game. Over time, Sirtech/Interplay have upgraded the games, and in the case of JA2 Gold, they combined two games onto one disk (set of disks???). Thus, even there, they had to change the version.
When someone creates and editor, trainer, or other utility for a game - especially people like us who have to hack into the codes to find a way to change the data and variables - we tend to do it using whatever version of JA2 we have with or without the patches we have. I know my favorite editor was only usable on JA2 1.03 and thought there were still a few glitches in that version (as I had bought it) I was willing to put up with them to mess with the values in the game.
Weapon X specifically said that his mod runs on version 1.01 of JA2UB. I've been playing for long enough that I am used to having to patch the games for mods or editors, but you are correct in saying that sometimes people don't know about the versions and such. Sometimes editors take advantage of loopholes in the game design to do their thing as well, so you'll see sometimes that when an official patch from Sir-Tech comes out, they will fix or fill that loophole rendering it ineffective. This is especially true with cheats discovered in the game (say, like throwing knives at crows to increase statistics astronomically).
It will be interesting to see what kind of havoc this issue will play with Urban Chaos which requires an older version of JA2 or UB to install the mod over. You'll be hearing a lot of questions on how to find or patch to an older version.
Peace out and blame Canada,
