Impossible and ill tell you why. the reason is first off the mod loads from ur map file so u have a modified map but the other people in your room have original maps so all it is going to do for them is lag the only way to have a mod that every one can use is disribute the map file to every one and they would have to install it so unless every one is willing to do that there is no other way.

easy, give a link to the mod to everyone who joins your server, or include the link in the server name.

another way for you to mod with everyone see what you did just switch some projectiles around with hmt and switch the vehicle locations and add scenery i think because all the maps would end up loading the scenery it has only problem is you need sparkedit to do it.

Nope. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Okay, here's the scoop. Let's just say that you made the mod and gave it to everyone else and then all jumped into a multiplayer game together. Yes, AI would appear on everyone's computer, but they'll all pop up in different places. In other words, the other players will see AI, but not the real AI. They'll see AI that not only can they not hurt, but the AI can't hurt them. To make things even more complex, the real AI will be able to shoot at them, but the players won't know where the enemy fire is coming from. Trust me, I've got six computers here, and I've tried many times to perfect this technique. At the present time, it just isn't possible.

Yeah, because when moving vehicles and items around, it's like the vehicles were driven there and the items dropped
