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.

Two guys that ask the same thing and it was a way long non-instaposting... mmmh 
The current system simply checks for nearby items lying around and is not browsing a corpse.
A system that actually browses thru the full inventory the player was carrying would be possible too but needs some little changes for the dropping of things. At the moment the server admin decides what stuff is dropped in addition to the currently held weapon. So if the admin decides to not let anything else being dropped if killed, then you would have the proper base for a 'search corpse' scenario.
Will check it out later today... is doable without question but needs some more workarounds.
However, dropped CDs will show up on top of the new Pickup... menu so that you do not overlook it.

This was actually never an issue... dropped CDs (EAS items) do react on the 'grab/use' key directly without the need to be looked at like a pickup (weapon/ammo). So with just hitting the grab/use key while near to the dropped CD you pick it up. No need to 'aim' for it in any way.mat69 said:

Awesome work Beppo!
I hope you can get it to work so that only weapons visible on the outside of the player model are dropped; while everything, including the non-visible stuff, is available through the equip menu.
-It seems like this would be less server intensive than having all inventory items dropped onto the ground.
--To build on sir edmond's comment: It might be nice to be able to still pick up stuff by hitting the grab/use button. If a player simply hit the button, then there would be a hierarchy of items in the list; hitting the button would simply pick up the item on the top of the list (like the cd, nades, or ammo for your currently equiped gun).

picking up stuff using the 'normal' way is still there of course... no worries...
and what stuff is dropped is - as said - up to the server admin...
Default is that the visible weapons are dropped only, but options allow to drop all weapons and all ammo too. So it is up to the admin if the browsing thru a deads inventory will be something 'extra' or not. An option for this feature will be included I guess (default: feature being active of course).
