Help on mod problem US ok UK don''t work

Hello I made an add-on to a mod, eve 1.28 I used an already made add-on called Armageddon Patch, all I did was add new systems, and bases, and some JumpHoles.
When I gave it to some guys to test it for me, the Guys in the U.S. Seen all the JumpHoles, But thos in the UK did not?
I used Freelancer Explorer, and followed the tutorials on how to do it, buy Darky (Dark Dragon). Which I must say was a Great Help !

But I want to know, anyone got an idea why the UK guys can't see it?

Please any help will be forever greatful.
thank you

It depends upon what format your mod is in, what files it overwrites, and which it adds to. I guess you made it using the evo files - else activating your mod after Evo would mean that you remove files like universe.ini, market_ships.ini, market_commodities.ini, market_misc.ini, systems_shortest_path.ini, shortest_legal_path.ini, shortest_illegal_path.ini, mbases.ini - and those are the ones just off the top of my head.

I would try getting your UK based players to follow your exact instructions that make it so yours work. I get emails about how things don't work, and its because people don't follow instructions to the letter usually

The players in the UK all installed it as I instucted, same as US players. One weird thing, US players still saw it as Armageddon addon Patch v1_0_4
But the UK players seen it as v1_0_5
And thos are the ones that won't wrok, I sent them another copy, and still to no avail.
The mod is activated after evo, and it was just a mod that added a pvp system, but I expaned on it to add 3 new systems. with some bases , and wreaks.

Funny how US players see it, does anyone know if there is a differance in the UK version?
I would like to get it to work, please any imput will be helpful
Oh, btw , I am a NooB to modding, thats why I choose Freelancer explorer, and read the tutorial, keep this in mind when giving me info
