Most of the scripts include installation instructions! But in case they don't, here are
basic installation
instructions:
- In general, most scripts will go into your TRIBES\CONFIG directory.
- Some scripters, myself included, will make a subdirectory under that directory by their
own name.
- Any scripts which need to go in those directories will be labeled as such, though.
- You install a script by adding it to your AUTOEXEC.CS file. This file can be found in
the Presto TRIBES\CONFIG directory. If you don't have one, you can create a new blank
file. Insert the line
exec("scriptname.cs");
on its own line at the end of the file.
- Script files such as AUTOEXEC.CS are just text files. That means you can use any text
editor you want to edit them.
- But make sure you edit scripts in a TEXT editor. If you save scripts in a program like
Word, they won't necessarily save as a text-file. Any extra garbage will cause the script
to fail.
- After you've installed the PrestoPack, here's a general rule of thumb for where to add
the script: If the script says that it's Presto-compatible, put it after the line that
installs my pack. But if it's not compatible, put it in the file before my pack.
NEVER run a script without reading the file first! Just open it up in a text editor and
read the stuff at the top - to make sure you know what you're
