It's complicated to explain if you know nothing on these matters.

1. The first thing you must understand is that there is a difference between server side and client side. The server has the mission file so it controls the loading of the game. So when you are a client you don't have any control over what files are loading.
Except for skins, but skinning is just appearance not actual objects.

2. So, no. You cant use the Jeep and 187Cruiser in just any server because they are server side. Meaning, if the server is not using them then they are not available to be used.

3. As far as in game downloading goes. When a client comes to your server, their game and your game (server) compare files. If they do not have all the files being used in your server than they have to download them from your server. This is an extremely slow process, a 90 kb file takes like 5 minutes.

4. This is why we have the predownload pack at Regent X . Maybe in the next version I can get it added. For know all you can do is tell people to predownload them from MAXWORKS or your own webpage.

5. As far as the shaking goes you need to turn down the Engine TankFx settings.

Those setting are at www.maxworks.com under Original Default Tank Fx Settings

In order for them to properly override the original tankfx.cs they must go at the bottom of the mission file (.mis) your are moding.

Keep in mind that these setting are global and apply to all the tanks so you might want to use the ufo settings and replace the shape-file of the ufo rather than a tank.

If this does not makes sense to you then I will just say this: read the THE NEW MODDING RESOURCE before trying any more modding
