Thanks to the following and anyone else who has donated their
time in adding to the great scripts available for this great game! 
Much credit goes to these great people that put their time into creating
these scripts only to release them to the public for free.

If you have a problem with one of their great scripts I ask that you please try to 
contact me first before bothering them as many of the scripts in this pack have 
been modified and I would not expect them to have to support the modified script.

If you need any help getting this to work for you or customizing it
to your liking let me know and I will do what I can to help. I can also
help you to disable any feature you do not want. Catch me 
on in irc.dynamix.com #Vacas or email mccleans@inreach.com 

*************************************************************************************
DISCLAIMER *
************

 It works on my system and should on yours, however you install this script pack at 
 your own risk. If you have a problem, contact me and I will do my best to help you 
 out, but if your hair turns purple (green if it already is purple), your 
 girlfriend/boyfriend becomes pregnant, or your cat gets ubducted by  aliens after you
 use this script pack, don't blame me!

IMPORTANT RELEASE NOTES !!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
{1}
The inventory screen has been disabled by default. This is because with writers
fast favorites it is much better or use the favs and only enter the inventory station 
screen manually ("I") when needed. If you do not like this then you can change it from 
within tribes in the new options section.

I HATE WRITTING DOCUMENTATION! (ok... just had to get that out)

FRESH INSTALL (RECOMMENDED)

1. BACKUP YOUR ENTIRE CONFIG DIRECTORY!!!
   This works without a problem on my system, but I would hate to
   see it cause you a problem. If you want to remove the scripts and 
   return to your previous setup you will be glad you did.

2. This step is optional but recommended. If you do not wish to do this step skip to step #3
   I have added a new feature to allow you to configure your default tribes keys (non script)
   from within tribes options one time ONLY and never have to do it again no matter what 
   scripts you install and later remove. To take advantage of this you will have to follow 
   these steps. 

   A. Delete all files and subdirectories in tribes\config except the following files.
      Be sure to delete config.cs also!
      badwords.cs
      banlist.cs
      ClientPrefs.cs
      GameServerList.cs
      IRCServer.cs
      joystick.cs
      play.gui
      Players.cs
      ServerPrefs.cs

   B. Start tribes and configure all your keys as you want them to default.

   C. Exit tribes and rename tribes\config\config.cs to myconfig.cs

   D. Gotot step #4 to continue with SixPak installation 


3. Delete all files and subdirectories in tribes\config except the following files.

   badwords.cs
   banlist.cs
   ClientPrefs.cs
   config.cs
   GameServerList.cs
   IRCServer.cs
   joystick.cs
   play.gui
   Players.cs
   ServerPrefs.cs


4. Extract SixPak.zip to your tribes folder and be sure to UNZIP WITH
   SUBDIRECTORIES so files will unzip to proper places.


5. I am running in 1024x768 so everything is tweaked for
   that resolution. If you are running in a different 
   resolution you will need to change the following things.

   a. config\six\sixhud.cs screen width and height 
      you can also tweak positioning of the hud from this file.

   b. config\six\scorehud.cs  You can tweak positioning of scorehud from here

   c. config\writer\xhud.cs   You can tweak positioning of xhud from here
   
   d. config\six\stopwatch.cs   You can tweak positioning of stopwatch from here
  
   e. config\six\cdhud.cs   You can tweak positioning of cd player from here

   f. config\six\pinghud.cs   You can tweak positioning of pinghud from here

There will usually be a group of numbers that will need to be changed like this.

$CDHUD::position = "1 223 120 32";  

In that example the first number represents the x (or horizontal) placement and the second
number represents the y or vertical placement. The second two numbers are the length and width 
of the HUD and usually not a good idea to mess with.


6. I recommend you look in the following files for key bindings that
   you want to change
  
   a. SixKeys.cs file in the tribes\config\six folder
   b. prestoprefs.cs in the tribes\config\presto folder
   c. keys.cs file in the tribes\config\writer folder

7. You can modify your favorite loadouts in the
   tribes\config\favorites.cs file. Modify
   the loadout names, auto weapon selection and the loadout to
   your liking. THIS IS A REALLY COOL FEATURE!

8. Many defaults can be modified in the tribes\config\six\sixsetup.cs file.
   Be sure you read this carefully and understand what you are doing before
   making any changes, but I do encourage you to at least look.

9. Documentation on key bindings is in tribes\config\docs\features.txt but 
   it is unfinished. For now your best bet is to review the features.txt file
   and spend some time looking in the scripts and tweaking and experimenting 
   with the key bindings to understand all the features.
