Drop Extra v1.2 
by Ego

Support.vl2 required
--------------------------- 

Special thanks to Kaiten Commander for providing the GUI 
and thanks to my beta testers for their input. 

--------------------------- 
What is Drop Extra? 
--------------------------- 
Drop Extra is a script that allows you to drop items for your 
team mates. Where it differs from other drop scripts is that 
this one utilises "sets" - tap a key and one set of items 
is dropped, hold the same key down and you'll drop a 
different set of items. 

--------------------------- 
Installing Drop Extra 
--------------------------- 
1) Place the dropextra.vl2 file in your \Tribes2\Gamedata\Base 
folder. You do NOT need to extract the contents of the 
dropextra.vl2 file. 

2) Load up Tribes 2. Click on Launch -> Scripts -> DropExtra 

3) The options tab contains all the options needed to 
customise DropExtra. 

4) Bind 2 keys in the controls menu for Drop Extras 
and Drop All. 

--------------------------- 
The Options 
--------------------------- 
1) Tap Drop Prefs - Items selected will be dropped 
when you tap the Drop Extra key. 

2) Hold Drop Prefs - Items selected will be dropped 
when you hold down the Drop Extra key. (Please note: the Tap 
Drop Prefs selection will also be dropped). 

3) Drop All - Items selected will be dropped when you 
press the Drop All key. 

4) Keep One Weapon - Select a weapon to keep when you press 
the Drop All key. (Please note: If you choose to keep a weapon 
the ammo for it will NOT be dropped even if selected in options). 

5) There are also options to do a local animation on drop so you 
can easily attract the attention of the intended recipient.
