    Using MODs online.

    Just a quick question: If I download a mod can I play online or do the people playing all need the same installments? I heard that if I download a mod I can not play online but I am just wondering if this is true?

    thanks in advance for any who answer.

    Everyone in the game needs the mod, otherwise you'd end up with people modifying their rangers to have 9999 damage or something. You can play online with people without the same mods if you just uninstall the mod afterwards, or move all the mod files to a different folder while you play online.

    The exact answer will depend on the mod in question. Some mods (Im thinking of the AI mod in particular here) will create a separate icon on your desctop to run the mod but leave the original game untouched so you can use the old icon and play online normally or the new icon and use the mod...but can then only play online with other people using the same mod.

    For mods that dont do this you will need to read what the mod makers recommend - if you have sufficient hard drive space then copying the entire DoW folder to another location and installing the mod there would be a good way to have the mod and be able to play online without removing the mod first every time.
