Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

F3 my boy, kill some and press F3. What damtype relates to is how your kills are credited, simply said, you kill someone in a tank, the menu(F3) says you killed someone with a tank, or you killed someone with a rocketlauncher, the menu(F3) shows you killed someone with the rocketlauncher.
Eyegore said:Why so it does -- I hardly ever look at that so I never thought to check that out
Thanks for the tip - when the next version is released, that'll definately be on the list!!!
You also need to change some stuff with the RocketProj too, smaller drawscale, plus a greater speed.
I'm not sure if you ment this, but when fireing a rocket, a minigun tracer is made, as the rocket is fired. Intentional?
Yeah, looks like I need to reiterate that I'm not a coder I can do a little, but I'd rather spend the time modelling. McCann really helped me out a lot, but I don't want to impose for anymore help with this model - I know everybody here is pretty busy and it'd be a good experience for me to figure out. I have put the tracer issue in the known bugs and am trying to work out a solution for that (though that may never come...)
I also fixed the damtype problem. Now when you make kills you get proper Atakapa credit
Right now I'm really struggling to get a frickin hudoverlay to display my cockpit mesh in the first person...to no avail. I can't tell what the heck is going on with that; I have spent about 12 hours on that alone and still have no overlay. According to my logs, I'm spawning the mesh, but I can't see it. Anyway, I'll try for a few more then either ask someone to do it, or just forget about it for now and come back to it later...
At anyrate, the overlay is about the last thing I'm going to work on for this model, then I really have to work on something else - I'd really like to learn to paint the cool metal skins - but I have no idea how they do that...

In case you forgot, I also did that part of the code, a bit of a bodged up job, I must confess, here's a solution, smaller, and faster, that should probably make sure you'll never see the primary projectile again, just overwrite it, and recompile.. *whistles*
