[UT][OldSkool] Coop Beacon

This is a mod that places beacons over coop players heads only when they are a comfortable distance away or obstructed from view. Player names will only display beside the beacon, obstructed or not, for players far away enough to otherwise be difficult to identify.

Coop Beacon RC1


Requisites:
This mod requires OldSkool and will only work in Coopgame2 and derivative gametypes (dejavu, xidia, 7b, ect..).
Bugs:
Due to the way obstruction works, beacons will float around the hud when there are players behind you. I kind of like it and while it would be nice to confine it to the edges, I can live with it.
Beacons don't persist on Vortex2 because vrikersgame is bad and I hope whoever wrote it feels bad.

I don't have plans to make any changes. The RC1 title is just a formality, or if something actually has to be fixed, it can with better clarity. I haven't done a lot of testing other than making sure it works where it's supposed to and not where it isn't. This was mostly in preparation for some coop I plan on running over the next several weekends and thought it would be a good idea if everyone could tell where everyone else was.

I'm currently running a server if anyone wants to see firsthand how this works. Right now it's DejaVu with this mut and the weapon respawner from 7Bullets. I may/not be there but my clone should.

Would be cool if there was a build using 227 and the HUDOverlay additions , as there really is no such beaacon mods existing for the platform.

I might look into it. I did try but didn't investigate the build problem. It's either using a different kind of method to draw the HUD (in which case I won't be bothering with) or uses a different spectator class (excluded as beacon target. Easy fix).
