I have been working on my unit for the Battle Royale and it has been going great. It works in SP so I wanted to test its effectiveness against real players. I uploaded the all.lvl and the other person downloaded and installed it. I made a server and whenever they tried to join, the server crashed. I don't have any other non-OC mods installed. Why is the game crashing?
They (and you) will also need the new mission.lvl that calls the new units.
For now, the unit just replaces the Rebel pilot, so I don't see why I would need a new mission.lvl...
I didn't rename the unit. It's basically just a modified version of the pilot.
-edit: Sorry. I should've said that before.
is there anything in common.lvl that got changed ?
Nope. The only thing I changed was the all.lvl, which I installed then uploaded for my tester to download and install as well.
And I went on a public server right afterwards and my game was working just fine.
Maybe he has a different mod in?

He was playing on a public server just before testing with me. He even went into single player and played on it for a while before joining me on my server (when it crashed).
I'll try to re-test it with someone tomorrow on the off-chance something weird happened.
Some mods just crash online. It could be a weapon bug, odf or msh bug. Force lightning crash for me online for rancorland but works in single player. Hard to say without knowing more details.
does the server need to be modded too?

server and client should be using identical LVL files

Strangely enough, I figured out what was causing it. It happens at purely random times, but all 5 times that my server has crashed has been right after I attempt to use my 5th weapon. It works great 99% of the time but for some reason it is crashing at random times.
Here's my unit ODF, just in case I did something wrong:
WEAPON SECTION = 1
WeaponName = "imp_weap_inf_torpedo_launcher"
WeaponAmmo = 8
WEAPONSECTION = 2
WeaponName = "all_weap_inf_shotgun"
WeaponAmmo = 5
WEAPONSECTION = 3
WeaponName = "all_weap_inf_pistol"
WeaponAmmo = 0
WEAPONSECTION = 4
WeaponName = "imp_weap_inf_thermaldetonator"
WeaponAmmo = 3
WeaponChannel = 1
WEAPONSECTION = 5
WeaponName = "all_weap_inf_powerup_dispenser"
WeaponAmmo = 5
WeaponChannel = 1

Correct, 5 weapons always crashes online. Fate and I discovered this while testing Jet Wars Era MP compatibility. Because of the 5th weapon not working online was one of the main reason we decided to only make it a SP campaign. I suspect this is due to the fact you are using vehicle ODF commands for unit classlabel ODFs which the EXE is probably 'less tolerant' of for MP.
Pick a weapon to exclude and revert to the standard 4 weapon format and it should work online (unless there are more bugs lol).

Oh, wow. Thank you! It would've saved me a lot of headache to know that earlier. Someone should edit the 5 weapon tutourial...
