if your playing on a internet server an if it is using a mod
you most likely all ready have it or else you wouldn't be able to connect or
play.

however if indeed it is a mod you'll need to find out what it is and what if any
conole comands are used then bind those commands to keys

players disapearing /repearing can be due to a bad internet connection
(lag) or some kind of mod

try speaking to players ingame and ask if the server is running a mod
if they are feeling kind they may tell you what it is.
usually the server MOATD will tell you what it's running when you join the game
