Flag Status Hud by Mental Trousers
==================================

Version 1.0

Installation
============
You must first have downloaded and installed the "required files" from the scripting
tutorial site at http:planetstarsiege/mt/required.htm.

1) Unzip flag_statushud.zip into your Tribes/config directory.
2) Open your autoexec.cs file in the Tribes/config directory and after the line
		exec ("mt\\install.cs"); (or include rather than exec for Presto pack users)
	put the line
		include ("mt\\flag_statushud.cs");

3) Start Tribes. If a different reticle does not appear on your screen, bring down the
   console (press ` or tilde key) and scroll up using the "page up" key until you
   find the part saying "executing mt\flag_statushud.cs". If you find a different
   message concerning that file, then make sure that you put the files in the correct
   place and that there were no spelling mistakes in the autoexec.cs file.

Compatibility
=============
Presto pack 0.93 compatible
NewOpts 0.964 compatible
Not autoload compliant though (Thats outside the scope of the tut)

Not tested with any other scripts

Stuff
=====

This script only supports Ctf game play. There isn't any code in it to figure out
 which variant of the game is being played, because one of the servers that I play on
 alot uses a map rotation scheme that uses odd names for maps and doesn't set the
 variable that tells you if it's a ctf map or not.

This script filters messages concerning the flags. It displays the name of the person
 who is carrying the flag (if someone has it), displays an icon that shows the status
 of the flag and keeps track of how many times each flag has been captured. The user is
 able to toggle the hud visible/invisible using the keybinding or delete it from
tribes altogether.

The 3 flag icons were extracted from interface.vol and then shrunk to 20x20 pixels. I
 could have made some custom ones, but didn't fell like it :) They have been run through
 makeskin, so they can't be viewed with any graphics program that I know of
