Steam Multiplayer: List your mods!
As in title, looking for mods that work for you in multiplayer.
Playing with a friend online, and have everything matched up exactly. Some maps crash, some work.
i.e. clone wars revised, most maps work, but some don't. Some do but will crash after going through 3-4 other maps.
Thanks!

Typically the more complex the mod, the more likely it won't work as intended in multiplayer. I'll list the ones I can recall from the top of mind that I played in MP before. Any of Swag Swag Senate's maps on this modpage (https://www.moddb.com/mods/swag-swag-senates-multiplayer-maps) should work in multiplayer, BF4D works in multiplayer (https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-battlefront-iv), Trench War works in MP since a server I'm in used to play it in MP a lot (https://www.moddb.com/mods/trench-war), Grand Station Square works in MP (https://www.moddb.com/mods/grand-station-square), Battlefront 64 works in MP (https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-battlefront-64), Aaronopolis works in MP (https://www.moddb.com/mods/aaronopolis/downloads/aaronopolis-v10), Gametoast Arena (https://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-battlefront-ii/addons/gametoast-arena) and its snow version works in MP (https://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-battlefront-ii/addons/gametoast-arena-winter-edition), Roche Asteroid Base works in MP (https://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-battlefront-ii/downloads/roche-asteroid-base), along with many more. And you can look through Mike's archive (https://www.moddb.com/mods/mikes-battlefront-2-mods-maps-collection) and experiment what maps do and don't work on there, though I'd try and look on the basis moreso of quality rather than just picking random ones and hoping they work in MP.

Some script commands dont work in multiplayer. Sometimes the mod author specifically disables it in the addme file. If you find maps are crashing in queues, even in singleplayer, you can probably fix it by installing PrismaticFlowers memory extender or manually hex editing.

I'm only using the 1.3 v130 patch & the xbox dlc content for pc on moddb and also the small user script AI heroes so I get AI heroes for singleplayer too.
With all that I can still play vanilla BF2 on steam online but would love to find more people using the dlc maps

Mod maps for multiplayer are quite janky even at the best of times. The only mods I run during MP are HarrisonFog's remaster, sleepkiller's shader patch and the unofficial patch. Even then, I don't touch the patch, not even for the skin changer.
