**INSTALL**
First run automissile.exe. Once you have
started the game go to controls in the options menu and bind a key for "Automissile" at
the bottom.

You are ready to go!

**How to use**
When you get into game press the toggle key(I use "m") when you want to start the
script.


**Why?**
Why this script?
I have gotten annoyed with getting lock only to lose it before I could fire.

Why a toggle?
Well, I have a friend who likes to scare bombers into dropping all their flares before
launching. So just incase you don't want it on, it is a toggle.


**Future Advancements**

I will make a HUD to allow you to see if you have it toggled on or off. It will be my first
HUD for my first script.

Found a bug :D

Cool script DL!!

[Ghryphen]

Works awesome, I was just in a room with 25 on 25 people and bombers didn't stand a chance :D

[Ghryphen]

I know it doesn't require you to use supoprt.vl2, but is there a way that if someone has support.vl2, it can be rigistered with it, so your file nfo is displayed?

[DeLukas]

AHHHH! slow down. I will fix it to show up, just let me play with my script somemore.

[Ghryphen]

:lol

"This file has been downloaded '0' times."


*clears thoat* - Just downloaded it now. This is like a cheat, but oh well.

[DeLukas]

If it was cheating you would not be allowed to do it :)

In truth, I am sending it to planettribes as soon as they reply to me with the submission information and I work some of the last bugs out (and there are some). If everyone has access to it, then everyone can use it. Then it is no longer an advantage, and so is no longer cheating.

If this script really ruins the game(i really don't think it will), then next patch will address it. While that would make me sad in one way, part of be would laugh in the way show by Stalin when he enslaved eastern Europe.

[DeLukas]

P.S. Can i get a news update for this :)

[Kusiami]

/me knows how to hack into NewsPro.. all he needs is FTP access..

[Ghryphen]

Yup, I can make a news update. Go to TribalWars scripting forum and start a topic called....

[RELEASE] Automissle

then explain the script and give the download location.

Using [RELEASE] in the subject line automatically e-mails the TW news team and they will post news about it.

[Stang]

How is this a cheat?

All I see is that when you lock onto something it automatically shoots for you so you dont have to *click*. Arent there other modications out there that are cheats than this? Like red mines and yellow satchels :), which Im sure they will be patched just like the ones in T1 where. And oh well if they think this is a cheat then it will be patched too, HOPEFULLY NOT though.

I like it Delukas good job :D .

[Kusiami]

We need something that as soon as your crosshair goes over the flying target, you get a lock. But that would be cheating.

[DeLukas]

For the three people who use this script here is an update:


**Updates**

7/11/01
-Automissile will now work if you get lock and then turn automissile on
-Automissile starts toggled on
-Automissile now displays the word "AUTO" next to missile hud when active

[Kusiami]

Am I one of the three? Because I use it..

[DeLukas]

You, me and Gryphon :)

[Ghryphen]

Better get it released soon, I saw someone asking about it in the in-game forums and another scripter may release one before you. I told them it has already been done :D

*edit
I see you released it at the Depot. sweet.

[DeLukas]

[Ghryphen]

Yeah I would do a [RELEASE] in the TW scripting forums.

-Fixed HUD Bugs (We hope!)


Also, found a script that makes exeturnal files. . .will have to study it for logging script.

[Ghryphen]

I have one called Deadchat that logs IRC.

[Ghryphen]

You should sign up on the TCDB too :D

TW and their managed waiting queue to join their forums is really starting to piss me off

[Kusiami]

Thats the spirit!

[Ghryphen]

That is really weird, I have never known they did that.

[Kusiami]

Did you try for the Planet Tribes forums? They have nicer and more intelligent people.

-Removed Test Messages

[Kusiami]

My account was finaly accepted into the TribalWar forums! Whoohoo!!!

[DeLukas]

7/16/01
-Fixed stray mouseFire(); bug in clientCmdSetWeaponsHudActive







I am starting to dislike the people on the TribalWar forums. They complain about a problem but never answer my emails about how they created it. I can only guess this will fix their problems.

[DeLukas]

Was doing some reading about I/O operations for my test and it hit me I have the missile fire after the sound starts, this could be why there is that moment where it does not fire after lock. I have changed mine to test it and will give you all an update when i get some time to play.

[DeLukas]

Well, I will not be able to give my weekly update on monday, so I will do it now.


Automissile: I think I am done with all the minor updates, so it goes on the back burner for a while

autoFlare : I have not even started think about it yet

ChatLogger: I have the know-how, but have not started code

Weapon Swap: All the functions are coded, I just have to do the GUI

With my final exam last week I did not do any major scripting. That, and I am learning to hate GUI. I just hate doing it, but it is required for the ChatLogger and the Weapon Swap scripts. I hope that the Weapon Swapper GUI can be moded for the Chat Logger and I will not have to write it from scratch (Which is why Weapon Swap is taking so long).

[DeLukas]

In an effort to get myself excited about scripting again I have done an update to automissile.

It's faster in firing and I have made some other minor changes that improve it.

[Ghryphen]

Sweet! I use this thing all the time!
