how does lua editing effect mp?

[psyde]

i'd imagine that if i hosted a game, those edits would have an affect on map generation. though if i joined a game, my files wouldn't have any affect at all. am i correct in that assumption - how does it work?

haven't played any mp games obviously.

That would depend how and which files are edited, if it affect gameplay post-loading it may cause desync if all players do not have the same files.

Desync can also happens if some common code is only affecting the "local" player

ah, desyncs - right. better to just restore back to defaults before a mp game, then. thanks.
