Difference of Addons in Single-/Multiplayer?

[florianmuellerch 10]

I've created a nice "Building", and I'd like to use it now also in MP. I've added it in my server (along of iniDB), but with that addon not having activated, my client cannot join.

How comes that iniDB works without having to be local, but my mod won't? Is it because the building itself? Would there be a workaround for the user won't have to download something?

Thank you for your help!

Users must download PBO before Join

Mission folder can contain texture sounds and textfiles but not p3d so all people must have locally the PBo

Why wasn't this thought of in early MP design? This is one of the most annoying things in most of the games :( but thanks for the answer...
