******************
***Installation***
******************
Unzip the package (.zip file) and copy the .cs files into your base folder. In the example X:\
represents the drive letter that you installed the game on ( usually C:\ or D:\ ) and the ~\
represents the folders inbetween X:\ and the Dynamix folder (usually C:\Program Files\Dynamix). The path should be: 

	X:\~\Dynamix\Tribes2\GameData\base\scripts\autoexec\<SCRIPT_NAME>.cs
Examples:
	X:\~\Dynamix\Tribes2\GameData\base\scripts\autoexec\crewhud.cs
	X:\~\Dynamix\Tribes2\GameData\base\scripts\autoexec\stattracker.cs

*****************
***Description***
*****************
>>Displays the names of your bomber, havoc, or tank crew on a little hud, when the names are available.
>>Names of the players in the various positions on the ship are not always available--generally you know yours and
also those of the others that board after you.
>>The script will work when you are on a havoc, bomber, or tank. It's not too useful on single player vehicles...

***Other***

**RECOMMENDED**
>>Hudmover or Hudmanager can be used to move the hud around. I highly recommend Hudmanager. See
http://scripts.tribalwar.com/uberguy/hudmanager.htm

-------------

**OPTIONS** (Use the options tab under Scripts when support.vl2 is installed)
>>All options are on/off toggles.  If you toggle an option, you may want to disembark and reboard your ship to see the
results.
>>Show Crew HUD - Turns the entire hud on or off.  The tracking system will still be active, and can be used by other
scripts.
>>Transparent back - Removes the HUD background.
>>Show ship bitmap - Turns showing the ship bitmap on or off.  Names will still be layed on the right places, so you can use
this to overlay the names over a dashboard hud (see below).
>>Show unknown positions - Normally the HUD will say (unknown) if a position is occupied but the name is not known.  This
can be useful as in the example below.

-------------

**RATHER USEFUL STUFF**
>>If you set the background to transparent, turn off the hud bitmap, and turn off showing "unknown" positions that
are occupied, you can overlay the names of the ship's crew over any dashboard hud that always shows the ship picture.  An
example of this is Sweeper's Dashboard hud, which can be found at ftp://ftp.slingscripts.com/Sweeper_Scripts/
>>You may need to keep the ship bitmap on while you move the hud with hudmanager to the right position...  Note that when
you use Hudmanager, you must be in your ship, step out, press the hudmanager key, and then fall back into your ship in
order to see where the dashboard hud is while using hud manager.
