What class do remotes (eg guided rockets) use up the memory pool of? Flyer?

Why, what's happening?

Oops, should have explained. I'm going to use remote missiles (launched from capital ships) on a space map (have to be unit controlled I know, but that's not a problem) and was wondering if they would eat into the memory pools for vehicles/or the memory pool for flyers (if they count as the flyer pool I'm pretty sure you just set it higher, but if they count as vehicles that's a problem).

Wait a moment...flyers use remote missiles, don't they.....so does that mean they don't count as vehicles?????

Dunno. The only thing I could say is just watch your Bfront2.log file. If it needs a memory pool filled, it'll always tell ya.

K thanks for advice Tean.

Just a quick memory pool question. Does the memory pool number have to be some certain type of number, like divisible by 6, or a power of 2? Or just any large number within reason?

Remote missiles are flyers, all you have to do is look in the "com_weap_award_rocket_launcher_ord.odf" file.

This is why the stock hero assault has a memorypool set for flyers: It even says why (Chewbacca's remote rocket).

Any integer within reason. Usually I take whatever the last number the BFront2.log tells me to add, then I add about 20% to that. It keeps everything over limit without putting huge numbers in that eat up memory.
