    Something similar might have been posted but I couldnt find anything. I am wondering if it is possible to start a multiplayer game with a few people with mods installed on your game that are not installed on the others. If another person doesnt have the mod, do the mod on your machine just get dissabled or does it work just for you ie; I have the BoM items whereas someone else might not, will I still be able to by the weapons or does it just disengage?

    Cheers

    I remember Fel saying that you need to have the same mods in order to play a MP game. Not only that, all those same modes should be installed in the exact same order, or it would not work, funny things (bugs!) would occur. I have zero experience about MP games though, so wait for Felinoid or others to enlighten you further, OK? ;)

    ^That is because it was a minor tweak, nothing serious. But imagine if one has mod kits, mod spell tables, items, spells, rules, NPCs, battles, quests, etc. and other player does not. It would be impossible to play together IMHO.

    too avoid all porblems it is best to have the same patched game and the same parts of same mods installed in the same order.
