UE1 - UT Trouble with dynamic arrays

[usernameuser]

I found out that Dynamic arrays don't have any kind of replication, but I HAVE to replicate it somehow. So how I do it?

Instance classes:

class ServerActor

simulated function PostBeginPlay()
{
	SetTimer(0.8,False);
}
simulated function Timer()
{
	ClientFunction();
}
simulated function ClientFunction()
{	
	local ClientActor CA;
	Spawn(class'ClientActor');
}
defaultproperties
{
	RemoteRole=Role_SimulatedProxy
	bAlwaysRelevant=True
}

class ClientActor

struct Bootype
{
	var() config string DrawScales;
}; var() config array<Bootype> Boo;

replication
{
	reliable if(role==role_authority)
		Tim;
}
simulated function PostBeginPlay()
{
	SetTimer(0.8,False);
}
simulated function Timer()
{
	Tim();
}
simulated function Tim()
{
	local int i,ii
	local Brute B;
	
	if(Level.NetMode!=NM_Client && Level.NetMode!=NM_Standalone) return;
	
	ii = GetArraySize(ArrayProperty'Boo');
	foreach allactors(class'Brute',B)
	{
		if(B!=None)
		{
			for(i=0;i<ii;i++)
				B.DrawScale=Boo[i].DrawScales;
		}
	}
}
defaultproperties
{
	RemoteRole=Role_SimulatedProxy
	bAlwaysRelevant=True
}

This should get info from SERVER ini and run functions to CLIENT.

And yes, this is from 227f.

That code doesn't make much sense to me. Firstly, config variables aren't replicated by default unless they change at runtime, and secondly, DrawScale is a replicated property already.

Anyway, dynamic arrays don't replicate in any UE generation and coders in UE2/3 can work without it. If element values of a dynamic array really need to be replicated, there's always function replication to send individual elements separately.

Actually this is what im asking for. How I do this practically?
And notice that I don't do so well with replication things. Please give some kind of example.

Since when does UE1 have dynamic array support?
I also didn't know that DrawScale was a string.

227f gives array support
Also this is just and example "how this thing should work" so the real code don't look like that.

So... you're lying to us?
How do you expect people to help you with your problem when you don't tell the truth?

He's talking about the unofficial Unreal 1 patch from Old Unreal.
