Weapon.uc defaultproperties

Quite simply this is a commented section for defaultproperties from one of our weapon classes. I thought that some folks might find it handy. Not everything is filled in yet (heh) but eventually I'll update this when it all is accurate. There was a section related to our mod at the end but it has been removed. You might find an odd reference to it, if so, please let me know.

If you have any corrections please let me know. Thanks.

This information has been integrated into the Weapon information page.

Comments

Trystan: If someone knowledgeable can verify the accuracy of this information I'll happily throw it into the proper places in the rest of Wiki. I'm mostly concerned with the information around the light, hue, etc., and some of the animations. I'm fairly confident the rest is accurate.

Chazums: I have added a few new bits and stuck my name by em, more info on the playerview offset and playerviewpoivot are on my dev journal [here]

Mychaeel: Feel free to simply start a new page, Weapon, and format it along the lines of the other class pages (for instance TeamAI and GameObjective, two pages I recently set up). When you are not sure about something, just add a note along those lines to it.

Trystan: Thanks Chaz! And will do Mychaeel. All right you guys have gotten me to be confident I can't muck things up too bad so I'll start trying to fill in some of the blanks around here rather than padding my journal.

Balu: Nice work, Trystan. Looks like your journal is about to get my main infopoint . May I suggest to make a note on top of pages that you included somewhere else in the wiki like "The info you can see here has been moved to Weapon, please go there."

Trystan: Thanks Balu, and good idea.
