We're working on an FPS as well, but haven't even touched the realm of multiplayer programming, so I can't help you there. Try searching the forums for "multiplayer", or there should be some examples that came with DB.

No problemo. Put it in right after your normal walking code. You can implement this method for forward/backward motion as well, much more accurate.
What newxvalue() and newzvalue() do is provide an easy way to calculate:

x=r * sin(theta)
z=r * cos(theta)

'Theta' being the angle the object's pointed at.

Good luck,
