Wizpack ver 1.20
***************************************************************
ABOUT WIZPACK:
The wizpack is a simple script package that I created to give players the ability
to simplify simple commands, without effecting game performance. I tried to
make the pack fast, exact and cpu friendly in every aspect of it. Hope you enjoy
my pack.
SPECIAL THANKS:

amount of time into continually udpating the pack. Also thanks for not complaining

BEFORE INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION:
1) Ensure you have the file support.vl2 installed (ie. put it in tribes2/gamedata/base
directory)
2) Put wizpack.vl2 in your tribes2/gamedata/base directory (Do NOT extract either
support.vl2 or wizpack.vl2. Just simply place these two files, as they are,
in your tribes2/gamedata/base directory.)
3) Run tribes 2 and from the menu, select "Scripts".
4) Edit wizpack GUI as you see fit.
5) Play T2. (p.s. for other instructions check the script instructions)
UNINSTALLATION:
1) Turn off your computer, unplug your monitor and drop it on yourself. (FOOL!
Why you wanna uninstall this!!! lol)
2) Delete tribes2/gamedata/base/wizpack.vl2
3) If you wish (optional), delete tribes2/gamedata/base/prefs/wizprefs.cs
4) Edit tribes2/gamedata/base/prefs/myconfig.cs (or whichever config file you
are using) and remove the three keybinds you used for negative zoom, constant
repair toggle and full force grenades.
SCRIPT DESCRIPTIONS & INSTRUCTIONS:
CONSTANT REPAIR
This script, upon use of your repair pack, will mount the repair gun and continue
to repair the target until it is fully repaired, upon which time it will remount
the previous weapon. You can stop repairing at any time simply by changing weapons.
There is also a key which you can bind called "Toggle Constant Repair"
in your controls settings. This key allows you to enable and disable constant
repair for them, sometimes hard to get to places (ie. turret on the roof). I
bind alt-r to this key myself.
JUMP-JET
This script makes the player jump a split second before jetting, giving you
the maximum usage or your energy. Over a large ski run this really does add
up to a lot of speed.
MINE-BEACON
If the place where you wish to deploy the mine is within beacon deploy range,
this script will place a mine with the beacon, which will allow your teammates
to (hopefully) see the mine easier.
NO-AMMO
If your weapon runs out of ammo this script will auto change you to your previous
weapon that had ammo.
PILOT MODE
When you enter a vehicle, your mouse sensitivity will be increased by ?%, depending
on your setting for that vehicle. This is mainly designed for players who use
low mouse sensitivity in the sim and wish to increase it whilst in a vehicle,
normal users will only see a slight increase as the vehicles will only turn
as fast as their design settings on the server.
SNIPER ZOOM
If you have a sniper rifle in your inventory when you zoom it will mount it.
This is very usful for them snipe and run attacks or for when dueling. If you
zoom, you can still change to other weapons though.
ENHANCED ZOOM
This script gives you up to 20 zoom magnifications which you can set individually
in the GUI. Not only does it allow you to zoom in but also to zoom out. After
enabling this script you should go to the settings/control menu and set the
key you wish to use for "Reduce Zoom". Personally I use z to zoom
in and x to zoom out. This script can also reset your zoom ratio on spawn to
a setting.
If you wish to use your mousewheel as your zoom control then go to your mouse config in controls and select "Wizpack Zoom Cycle" or "Wizpack NegZoom Cycle" in the mousewheel options. Neg Zoom Cycle is the same as the zoom cycle, just the direction is reversed. You can also prevent zoom cycle "rollover" by deselecting it in the GUI.
FULL FORCE GRENADES
This script allows you to throw a full force grenade on the press of a button
and, if you hold that button down, will continue to throw them at your interval
set in the GUI. There is also a similiar key for full force mines and, yet another
binding for tap-spam grenades. You can still, of course, still charge grenades
as per normal. After enabling this script you should go to the settings/control
menu and set the key you wish to use for "Full Force Grenade". Personally
I use f for full force grens and g for normal grenades.
SMART DEPLOY
Ever looked to where you wanted to deploy something but it was slightly off
and it cost you valuable seconds to deploy it again? Now just look slightly
lower than the deploy position and hold down the "Use BackPack" key
and the pitch of you player will raise until it finds the first position that
you can deploy. Easy eh? Or now, there is an option where you can retain control
over your mouse and, when the first deployable location is discovered, the object
will deploy!
WEAPONKEYS
This is the most complicated and, to a lot of people, most powerful script in
this pack. It can be configured in so many different ways that even players
that prefer to use their mouse wheel for weapon change will be able to find
a use for this script. This script now also supports mods with each mod having
its specific weapons selectable!
This script allows you to bind up to four "actions" to one of 6 keys. The keys it uses are the WeaponSlot keys which are bound from 1-6 as default. An "action" can be one of three things. It can be the use of a particular weapon (eg "Blaster"), the throwing of a particular weapon (eg. "Throw Blaster") or the throwing of your pack (eg "Throw Pack").
Probably best if we have an example:
Key 2: Bank 0: "Plasma"
Bank 1: "Throw Blaster"
Bank 2: "None"
Bank 3: "None"
In this example, if the player has plasma and a blaster, one press of the 2
key will mount his plasma gun and a second would throw his blaster. If the player
did not have plasma and only had a blaster then one press would throw the blaster.
Another Example:
Key 1: Bank 0: "Mortar"
Bank 1: "Sniper Rifle"
Bank 2: "Blaster"
Bank 3: "Shocklance"
Lets say the player has a mortar, blaster and shocklance and currently has the
mortar mounted. One press would mount the blaster or two quick presses (within
the timout period) would mount the shocklance. Notice that if you do not have
a particular weapon in your inventory, any bank that contains, it is ignored
for optimum weapon change speed.
END NOTES:
When I said I was going to create this script pack a lot of people flamed me.
A lot of people said that scripts ruined Tribes 1 and would ruin Tribes 2. The
only thing that ruined Tribes 1 is the whingers that had nothing better than
cause flames and if you guys are reading this (you know who you are), you are
a bloody hypocrite for installing this script!
