The NPatch allows a new style of beam weapons, more reminiscent of the Tiberian Sun Disruptor style wave instead of the Dolphin's projectile wave. This is a solid beam that can optionally damage anything in its path as well.

The system is easy to use and doesn't take much but a weapon. In order to activate the logic, you need a weapon that has IsBeam=yes and a BeamValue. BeamValue is special in that it only accepts a specific 27 values and none else that have any effect. To attain these 27 values, you can use the Beam Value Generator executable.
