The HUD displays an icon that represents the currently selected group. A group contains items that will be dropped when you press the drop group key. You can move between the groups with the next and prev group keys. The HUD resets to the default group when you exit an inventory station. The default groups are:
Drop All
-Drop all weapons
-Drop all ammo
-Drop pack / deployable
-Repair kit
-Mines
-Grenades
-Beacons
Drop Rig
-Drop everything apart from:
--Blaster
--Chaingun and ammo
--Disc Launcher and ammo
--Repair Kit
Heavy Ammo
-Grenade ammo
-Mortar ammo
Heavy Ammo+

Read the Readme_DropHUD.txt for installation instructions.
Changes in v1.3:
The default group is set whether you are using Writer's scripts or not. Also fixed to work with Writer's latest pack.
Changes in v1.2:
When you drop a group the next group is only selected if the current group can not be dropped again.
Moved group definitions to seperate file and added some help on how to define your own groups.
All the files apart from the group definitions are in a AutoLoad .vol file.
The default group can be selected on the options pages.
All groups can be turned on or off from the options page.
Added packs as single item groups.
Added weapons and packs to the Drop All group.
Added Drop Rig group which drops everything apart from the default equipment. This allows you to drop a lot of stuff but leaving yourself with something to fight with.
Added Light Rig group that drops Energy Pack, Repair Kit, Mines, Grens and some Disc ammo. Useful if a team mate has the enemy flag but hasn't been able to get kitted up.
Added ability to drop some and not necessarily all of a particular item type.
The drop team message now says the groups label, as apposed to every item dropped, there is often too many individual items in a group to be able to say them all.
Changes in v1.1:
Made Drop HUD same width as Item HUD so the HUDs stack neatly.
Optionally tells your team what you dropped.
You can only select a group for which you can drop at least one item. eg: If you drop the repair kit you will not be able to select the repair kit group again.
|HH|Rico redesigned some of the icons, they look really nice :).
Changed default group to Drop All, you don't start off with heavy ammo.
