If on a coop game over internet with one person that has the mod and one person doesn't. How would the AI behave? I wouldn't work at all i think unless the AI does something different for each person? but that is impossible since then it would be a hack. and hacks are bad. :evil:
Well, from a cursory look at the code, I'd say that the coop hoster's machine controls the AI behavior, and tells the clients where the enemy planes are and what they're doing. I didn't change any parameters that the clients can't handle. If that is indeed the case, the clients are just being told differently what to display and when.
The same way that if you and I connect to someone else's coop game, it takes our input, position, speed etc and sends it to everyone else in the game, it's taking the AI's position, speed etc and sending it to everyone else in the game.
I could be way off base on that point, so someone please test it.

Don't worry about that, there's no way this mod is changing anyone's files. Not possible.
