VéKTöRHUD

Objective HUD v2.1
==================
15th May 1999

*** Requires the Presto Pack ***  http://www.planetstarsiege.com/presto/
*** Requires my ObjectiveTrak script v2.0 beta 2 or later *** (included)
*** Requires my Events script *** (included)

*** Get the MissionInfo Pack (Missions.zip), the files have objective info
    so the HUD knows all the objectives in the base missions.


Installation
------------

The zip file has all the files you need in the right directories.  Unzip
them all into the tribes\config directory.  All the files should now be in a
directory called tribes\config\Crunchy.

Open up the file tribes\config\autoexec.cs into notepad.  After the line:
    exec("Presto\\Install.cs");
add this line, it gets my HUD to work:
    Include("Crunchy\\ObjectiveHUD.cs");

If you look at the file tribes\config\Crunchy\ObjectiveHUD.cs in notepad it
has further notes and options.


Note for scripters
------------------

The HUD uses ObjectiveTrak.cs, check it out!

Description:
	This is an alternate interface for |HH|Crunchy's ObjectiveTrak
	code. This interface is much more compact and gets around that
	8-bitmap limit. This HUD will work for ALL base mission types
	except those pesky multi-team missions (still trying to think
	up a compact but useful display for those, then figure out
	exactly HOW to do it). This script requires PrestoPack 0.93
	and |HH|Crunchy's ObjectiveTrak code. You can get the
	PrestoPack at www.planetstarseige.com/presto. The required
	ObjectiveTrak files are included.

Keys/Features:
	Docks onto the right side of the screen (on top of Presto's
	TeamHUD if you use it)

	Press "Alt - o" anytime during the game to toggle VéKTöRHUD
	on/off.
	
	Automatically detects mission type and displays information
	relevant to the mission (i.e. who has flag and score in CTF)

	Does not clutter up HUD with useless information - if a HUD
	has no information in it, it's hidden from view until it
	contains relevant info.

	Tracks destroy info for D&D missions using icon format (saves
	LOTS of space, but doesn't give as much info as Crunchy's
	ObjectiveHUD - It's an inevitable tradeoff)

	Tracks F&R flags and C&H towers.

How To Install:
	Just unzip the VeKToRHUD.zip file into your tribes\config folder
	and add the following line to your autoexec.cs file:

include("VeKToR\\VeKToRHUD.cs");

Contacting Me:
	If you have any suggestions, complaints, etc. Feel free to
	e-mail me at [email redacted] - just remember that I have to
	share my mailbox with other people, so try to avoid sending me
	the same message 10 times in a row :)

	Remember that this is a very early development version, so some
	bugs may arise (but I hope they don't :) so PLEASE tell me if
	something is really screwed... so I can get it fixed as soon as
	possible!
