Some pre-mod questions

Alright, I am going to get my Xbox softmodded (when I have enough money for AR and Splinter Cell). But before I do, I want to ask why in some of the mods I've seen the non-modder can't see some things. Now I understand why it doesn't work for skins, but with things that everyone has like if a plasma rifle shot out the scarab gun. The plasma rifle can do that in SP, so why don't people see it? The connection host sends out the code from their maps, if the code says its the scarab gun from Metropolis, why doesn't it show it? I really want to make the sentinel beam into the silver one from campaign, but whats the point if no one can see it?

If you use a rocket launcher, or a plasma pistol...they can see it

even if you make the PP (plasma pistol) shoot out say the scrab beam people will still not see it since it is not in the map so they can load the beam and see it. unless you make the map for everyone then they will see it.

if you injectected something from another map...their map wouldn't even load...being as its two different maps now(the modded one being larger due to extra info)
BUT!!! turf has the scarab gun it it, so you could just use that one

why use the AR and splinter cell to softmod, i think it's easier to do it yourself on your computer and save $70. I just hotswapped the xbox hard drive after it booted and used a tool over at xbox scene to format it accordingly. key word: free

you can still load the map but you cant see the projectile of course cause it is from a different map.
