New Feature: Find Function
I added a new feature called Find Function in Unreal X-Editor which lists function usages. The way it works is when you right click on any function name and select “Find Function”, you will see a list that shows where this function is used or overrided.

[TIP] Change Player Models based on Team for Multiplayer Team Deathmatch
In my game i implemented Team Deathmatch a few days ago but was struggling to update player mesh based on Team. But today i finally managed to do it and decided to share incase if anyone else is facing the same problem.
In your custom Team Deathmatch Game class add the below code:
function class<Pawn> GetDefaultPlayerClass(Controller C)
{
if (C.PlayerReplicationInfo.Team.GetTeamNum() == 0)
{
return class'Team0PawnClass';
}
return class'Team1PawnClass';
}
Thats it! We just override the GetDefaultPlayerClass function to get the player model based on Team.
Hope you find this useful.
New Features: Load Map & Wrap Up
Heeey Everyone. 😀
Here is a quick update of two new features that will be available in the next version of Unreal X-Editor. Hope you all likes it. 🙂
Load Map: Now UDK Editor will load your map right on startup instead of default map templates. Simply click on your map name and press UDK Editor button.
Select your map name and UDK Editor will start it.
Wrap Up: Now you can quickly embed your selected text with these flow statements and Macros.

[CODE] Save your game to My Documents using DLLBind
Hello everyone 😀
In this tutorial i will tell you how to save your game to end-users My Documents folder with any file extension you want. This tutorial will make use of UDK’s DLLBind feature and to create this DLL i used C# language.
NOTE: Download includes C# source code including the DLL file + UnrealScript Files. In case you want to change anything you will need Microsoft Visual Studio Express (FREE) or above.
1: Download the above file and extract the DLL file to your UDK Installation Directory\Binaries\Win32\UserCode folder.
2: Extract SaveGameBase.uc and CustomPlayerController.uc and CustomGameInfo.uc to your UDK Installation Directory\Development\Src\MyMod\Classes folder.
3: Do a full recompile and Start UDK Game using CustomGameInfo and use the functions SaveGame and LoadGame functions.
I have commented everything in UnrealScript files. If you have any doubt feel free to ask me in the comments section. 🙂
