AutoDrop

AutoDrop(tm) - 1999 10 15

Automatically drops an item (originally designed to drop repair packs) from an
inventory station each and every time you use it! Woohoo!

Instructions
____________

1) Installing:

	• Unzip the AutoDrop.zip file into your Tribes\Config folder. Make SURE you
	  have the "use folder names" option on if you use Winzip (for PKZIP dos
	  you should use the -d paramater)

	• Now, you'll hafta open up Tribes\Config\AutoExec.cs in notepad (or an
	  equivalent text editor). Add the following line to the file. If in doubt,
	  the bottom of the file is always a good place to add it.

		Include("VeKToR\\AutoDrop.cs");

	• I will not provide documentation on Non-NewOpts setups of the script,
	  since everyone should be using NewOpts =)
	  Just go into Tribes, look in the NewOpts screen, and set up AutoDrop(tm)
	  up to meet your needs.

2) Using it ingame

	• Get into a game
	
	• Use the ingame menu to select the item you want to autodrop (if necessary
          you may already have the desired item selected)

	• Use your toggle key to turn AutoDrop on/off, depending on your preference
	  and the strategy of the map.

	• Assuming you've got AutoDrop enabled...

		Run up to an Inventory Station

		While the bar on the inv station is raising, point in the direction
		you want to toss the pack in... do this BEFORE the inv screen comes
		up, because you'll throw the pack AS SOON AS you have access to the
		inventory station.

		A pack will be tossed in the direction you are facing.
	
		Let Fastfaves buy whatever loadout you want, or manually buy whatever
		you want.

		Leave the station.

	A side note: if you use Presto's script that automatically turns around when
	you use the station, the pack will be throws in the direction you were facing
	when you ENTERED the station. I have to throw the pack immediately to avoid
	conflicts with other inventory scripts (like fastfaves) so there is no time
	to let scripts turn you around. Just do a quick 180° turn while the bar is
	raising, or BACK into the station. Really, it is unnecessary to have a script
	TURN you around...

	I also REALLY recommend Cowboy's inventory GUI for using this script... you
	can see the player screen behind the inventory boxes, so there's no need
	for a "camera hud" or anything. You can see where you're pointed while you
	are still in the station. Coolness.
