TAC Client Pack - How to Use It

TAC Client Version 1.3

 

This help file assumes that you have installed the TAC Client Script Pack correctly and that you are using the default key settings (if you are using different keys then use your common sence). If not, refer to the installation instructions.

 

TAC Chat Menu

The default key strokes for the chat menu are v-b-?

Some sayings in the chat menu such as "APC Ready - Pilot Needed" are normal team messages while others are APC Specific Team Messages "Repair my Ship".

An APC Specific Team Message will only be displayed to a player that is on the same apc as you are. If you are not on an apc it will be displayed as a normal team message.

 

TAC Pilot Views

The Pilot Views are accesses by pressing F2 to turn left, F3 to turn rear and F4 to turn to the right and upon releasing the key you will return to normal pilot view. When the pilot is looking these directions he will not be able to control his apc (hello...you aint facing the controls) so it is advised that they be used as "flick" views as if you were glancing in that direction.

Another interesting feature of the Pilot views is the vertical angle. If you are looking down when you enter an apc, you side and rear views will also be looking down. This can be useful for high aerial assaults.

 

TAC Pilot HUD

When you become a pilot of an apc this HUD will appear on the right hand side of your screen. It lists the pilot (you) and the passengers names that are on the apc. This was designed to solve the problem of who that passenger is that is ignoring your call to bail.

 

TAC Passenger HUD

When you become a passenger in an apc this HUD will appear on the right hand side of you screen. The top half is the same as the Pilot HUD but it also has a second, lower part that displays the APC's health as a percentage. No more excuses gunners. Now you know your apc is in need of repair.
