PoopFaves is a new take on a popular concept.  While Fast Faves has
been a mainstay for many a hard core gamer, we feel we might have just

is the most flexible, easy to use Favorites selection script around.
Heres some features:

 - Plug-in support for any MOD out there.
 - 99 definable loadouts PER mod. ( 99 for base, 99 for renegades, etc.)
 - Loadouts are defined on the fly through NewOpts.
 - Supports dropping of Repair Packs.
 - Integrated Dropping of packs/deployables with any loadout. (buh-by Litterbug!)
 - Advanced loadout checking that displays a warning on your screen when
   a selected loadout was not purchased.
 - Supports quick buying of vehicles.
 - All loadouts are categorized by armor on the fly through in-game menus.
 - 32 Definable hotkeys to get to your favorite loadouts faster.
 - Auto Announces your loadout to your team.
 - Auto Announces what deployable you are carrying and when you deploy it.
 - Echos your current selected loadout to your screen.
 - Faster than spit. (Ptui!!!  See!?!?)


=============
INSTALLATION:
=============

FOR COMPLETE, NEARLY BULLET-PROOF INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE REFER TO THE POOPFAVESHELP FILES.

Extract the ZIP file to your "Tribes\Config" directory with the folders
turned on.  it should create the "Tribes\Config\Poop" folder if it is
not already there.


===============================
IF YOU DONT HAVE THE POOP PACK:
===============================

After the lines - exec("Presto\\Install.cs");
		  Include("NewOpts\\Install.cs"); (if NewOpts .95 or below)
		  OR
		  Include("AutoLoad.cs"); (If NewOpts .96 or above)

Enter this line - Include("Poop\\PoopFaves.cs");


=============================
IF YOU DO HAVE THE POOP PACK:
=============================

In your "Tribes\Config directory, open up your "AddedScripts.cs" file.

Enter this line - Include("Poop\\PoopFaves.cs");


Thats it. Now, start up the old Tribes and find the "PoopFaves" NewOpts
pages to edit the keybinds to your liking.  ENJOY!!!

So, Ya Wanna Install PoopFaves, eh?

Greetings, and welcome to the Help File!! Glad to have you aboard, just step to the rear please, everyone will be able to see, we just need a little space .... thank YEW. OK, without further ado ... ON WITH THE SHOW!!!

STEP ONE: INSTALLING IT

First of all, things that need to be done first: (funny how that works out, isn't it?) You must already have the Presto Pack intalled as well as NewOpts. If you've never heard of either ... well, ya got some work ahead of ya *grin* It also helps, but is not necessary, to have the Poop Pack installed. If it is, don't worry, you've already got Presto and NewOpts, move along. If you don't have them installed, go to:

http://www.planetstarsiege.com/zear

to get NewOpts, and go to:

http://www.planetstarsiege.com/presto

to get the Presto Pack.

Woops, we forgot something ... ok, briefly now, back to:

STEP ZERO: IF YOU IGNORE THIS SECTION, YOU'LL BE SOOOORRRRYYYYYYYY

This section is for all those of you who have or have ever even TRIED Writer's FastFaves.  Everybody else is free to skip on to the next section.

Before you actually run the script for the first time (it's VERY IMPORTANT this is done BEFORE the first run ... so don't come crying to US if you ignore this) there is a little cleanup you may have to do.  You cannot run this and Writer's FastFaves at the same time.  If you've got FastFaves running, get rid of it.  If you're running the Poop Pack, just disable it in the ScriptChooser.  If you're not running the PoopPack, just take out whatever it was you put in to install it. (there, vague enough for ya??  *grin*  We figure if ya got it installed yourself, you can get it uninstalled yourself too.)  Now, find and open the file config.cs in your tribes\config directory.  If you've got a very recent version of FastFaves, you won't have to do anything here.  Still, look and see what you find.  OK, got it open?  Looks complicated, huh?  A little bit scary?  Well, don't worry, we're not asking you to do anything complicated.  Just find any lines that have the words 'fastfavorites' or 'doNothing' in them.  Delete all these lines.  Thassit, all we need!

For the techno-geeks out there, I think you can tell that what we just did is clean up some leftover keybinds from FastFaves.  If you don't understand what I mean by that, never mind, move along.  If you do understand what I mean by that, it might be a good idea now to go through this file and see if you can find leftover keybinds from any other scripts you are no longer running, and get rid of em.  This is a problem with Tribes scripting ... after a while that old config.cs just gets way too cluttered.  Don't worry too much about deleting stuff here.  Any script that is not set through NewOpts that you currently have running will just reset any keybinds you erase next time you run it.  Any script that is set through NewOpts or any keybind that is part of the basic game functions will be lost if you delete the line, but you just have to go back in and reset them.  OK, now that that's taken care of, let's try this again:

STEP ONE: TAKE TWO

So, you've downloaded PoopFaves, and now you want to actually install it? Very wise. I can see you are one smart cookie! OK, here's how. First unzip the download into your config directory (in mine, this is c:\dynamix\tribes\config). Make sure you have folders on. OK, the next step depends on whether or not you have the Poop Pack already installed.

STEP ONE A: IF YOU *DO* HAVE THE POOP PACK INSTALLED

This is for all of you wise, intelligent, quite good-looking individuals who have already seen fit to install the Poop Pack. All the rest of you rabble, wait your turn!! OK, this is fairly easy. Just find the file "AddedScripts.cs" in the folder tribes\config. This is the file that allows you to add extra scripts to the Poop Pack (thus the name....) If you haven't messed with this file before, it should be empty. Open it up, and add the line:

Include("Poop\\PoopFaves.cs");

Then save it. There ya go! DONE!

STEP ONE B: IF YOU *DO NOT* HAVE THE POOP PACK INSTALLED

OK, this is for the rest of you, those of you who have either never heard of the Poop Pack or are just too stubborn to recognize it for the wonderful Pack that it is!!!! (no, I'm not biased, why do you ask?) OK, find the file "AutoExec.cs" in your tries/config folder, and open that sucker up. In this file, you should find the line

exec("Presto\\Install.cs");

This starts the Presto scripts. After this line, you will find EITHER:

Include("NewOpts\\Install.cs");

if you have Newopts version .95 or below, OR

Include("AutoLoad.cs");

if you have NewOpts version .96 or above. Somewhere in this file, AFTER these two lines (could be anywhere after, but directly after is usually good) put the line:

Include("Poop\\PoopFaves.cs");

Now save the file. There! Done!

STEP TWO: PLAYING WITH YOURSELF

Next, you need to get familiar with how PoopFaves actually works. We suggest you host a game of your own, and just play with it in there (base server, no mods ... yet). First, use the numberpad to hit the keys one through nine, plus the big plus sign thingy. Notice anything? YES, we knew you were observant! A series of descriptions appears across the bottom of your screen. These are called Loadouts. When you press a key, a loadout is assigned to you. This means that the next time you enter an Inventory Station, you will automatically buy the loadout you saw described and jump out of the Station. Faster than spit! as the logo goes. Now, did you notice a few extra repair packs lying around? This is because using PoopFaves, you automatically buy one repair pack and throw it out of the station. If you wish to turn this OFF, hit the number pad star key (*). Hit that again to turn it back on. If, for some reason, you want to turn off auto-buying, hit the numpad minus key (-). Hit that again to turn it back on. Now, say you've bee
