Two huds + quick tank change script updates!

I guess ill start a new thread for version 1.1.

Here is the readme:
scripter: wingman
version:  1.1

(VERSION 1.1)
-Added FPS HUD
-Added Time HUD
-Fixed resolution bug in tank change
-Fixed loading screen bug in tank change
-Changed keybinds for tank change script
-Increased speed of tank change from 6 seconds to 2 seconds
-Added loader.cs script to allow user to set prefs
-Converted time hud format from 100s to 60s

(VERSION 1.0)
-Initial release to public

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Unzip the main.cs file and the game folder directly into your Think Tanks directory.
The only thing that is changed in the main.cs file is the line at the very bottom,
which executes the loader script.

SPECIAL NOTE!!!
If you have installed my first version, which was extrastuff.cs.dso, you MUST delete
that file.  It is located in your game/client/scripts folder!  Again, delete the
game/client/scripts/extrastuff.cs.dso file if it exists!

KNOWN BUGS:
The time hud seems to act weird sometimes.  Ill fix it when I figure it out.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:

There are 2 keybinds for Tank Change:
T = Cycles through tanks and teams.  Select which tank you want and which team
    you want before pressing the quickdrop key.
G = This is the quickdrop key will drop you and reconnect you to the same server you were 
    playing on, with the tank and team selections that you made above.

There are two huds:
Time Hud = This displays time remaining on map.
FPS Hud  = This displays your frames-per-second.  Useful for graphics tweaking.

If you wish not to display either hud, you can turn them on/off in the loader.cs
file, which is located in the game/client/scripts/wingman folder.

I have not playtested this script a whole lot.  If you find any bugs, please email
me at: wingman@nctc.com.  Also, these scripts have been tested on windows platform.
I have no idea if these scripts will work on the mac platform.  If they do, great!
If not, im sorry I cant help you.

Have fun!

Im creating a gg projects site this week (hopefully). This will be home to some TT and Orbz projects Im working on.

The drop script isnt linked as of now. Without knowing specifics, Im not sure what may be causing your problem with the drop script.

I know that it works great for me and several others, and that a few people have had problems with it.

The drop script will allow you to select your team and tank in-game, and do a quick drop and reconnect back to the server you were in (in 2 seconds). This is alot faster than having to drop out of a server, select your tank, select your team, select the server, and reconnecting.

Of course, in the modded (z) servers, you can change your tank in-game without dropping.

Im doing some mapping and other small projects with Orbz atm, I will be back to play with TT in the near future (gotta practice my new memory toys, if ya know what i mean).

See you soon.
