Problem description:

When you play, it's all normal, but when you host it, if another player joins, it just runs whatever the first player picked.

Please help.

You are setting world.mob=/mob/FirePlayer // etc.

world.mob determines the type of mob to give the client upon establishing a connection.

Removing those should resolve the issue.

Also, please be aware that input uses usr by default. Createcharacter is being called without usr. Use src instead.
input(src,"Pick your nation.","Nation")

thanks, I got 1 more problem.

Bump(atom/a,mob/M,mob/M as mob)
            //for(var/mob/WaterPlayer/W)
    if(ismob(a))
         var/dmg=usr.Power-M.Defense
     world<<"<font color=red>[a] was hit for [dmg]!"
     M.Stamina-=dmg
         a:Death(src.wee)



Sorry indention is off, it's just doing that :P

Bump expects a single argument and that is the obstacle. You have to define M and give it a value elsewhere.

What would be the best way to do that, outside of Bump?

Somewhere on the Bump's body. Depends on how you use it.
