Info Classes: BlackSways Complete Editing reference

This is a descriptive list of the Info actor class within the unreal script class
structure. It is intended as a reference for level editors and is not intended for
programmers or mod developers. However they may find it of some use, you
never know.
The Info classes are used to hold information which is then made available to
other classes, e.g. the LevelInfo class holds information about the current level
being played, how long its been going, the name of the map etc.
Most of these classes are of no use to level editors at all, and will be covered very
lightly. For some others, only the parent classes will be dealth with and these
features should apply to all their children classes.

GameInfo
This is the main class which contains all the sub+classes for the game types used
in nreal and T.
,ou can force your level to load a particular game type by setting its
-efault.ameType property in the LevelInfo properties to the game type of your
choice. This can be useful when testing a level from within nreal/d as will
default to "ingle player if you are using nreal, and -eathmatch if you are using
nreal Tournament.
#.0. If you do use this feature when developing your game it can be handy to
take it out when you distribute, as people will be unable to use your level for
other mods 'such as infiltration* if you do not.
e.g. To set a level to be a $TF Level only, browse to $TF.ame
(Info->GameInfo->TournamentGameInfo->TeamGamePlus->CTFGame). Then go
to the level properties '1ress F2* and go to LevelInfo+3-efault.ameType and
press 4se(.

stop the screen from changing brightness.
AiewFog! vector of 7.0 values between @ and D,
increases the brightness of the screen.
