[227] Creating classes with same name as others

A couple of times I have accidently created classes with the same name as other built-in ones (Knife, Scout etc) and as a result, I have had to export all my classes and recompile my mods a few times.
Would it be possible to add a small notification telling the player that a class with this name already exists?

Guess what, that notification happens in UnrealEd 1.0.

guess this is another thing which *might* be useful to re-implement from ued1...

Wow, i never knew Ued 1.0 had that. And YES! please add it to 227 if it aint that much trouble! Very VERY usefull, specially when you're making a mod that has ALOT of weapons

Most mods use a prefix on their own classes, at least on those classes which are very prone to naming conflicts.
Serpentine:
SU_[something]
Infiltration:
INFIL_[something]
UTeamFix:
UTeamPickup_[something]
UTeamWeapon_[something]
I do agree a notification / warning would be helpful either way ;-)

UED2 added out of UED1 known check: "An Actor class named Example already exists! Do you want to replace it?" dialog for duplicate class names, to prevent messing up an existing class by accident.
Not fixed in g_40

It might have broken again with all the editor updates since then. Smirf will be poked by the topic bump.. ;p

its a requested feature, not a bug, so nothing to fix anyway
But seems to work fine.
