Q: How Do I Install This?
A: Extract AutoComplete.exe, replacing.wav and cancelled.wav into any folder and open the executable. If you experience a missing files problem once opened, you should first install the "vbrun60.exe" setup file, which can be found on the Renegade Installation CD. (
CDDrive:\Setup\vbrun60.exe).

If you still experience missing files after installing the vbrun60.exe, browse the list below to download what you need:

Q: What Is The Purpose Of This Application?
A: This is a self-made application to be used alongside Renegade, that will type messages for you. We've all had times where you need to alert your team to something important, but you simply wouldn't have the time to type the entire message in the centre of a frantic battle field.

The program replaces pre-defined "presets" that you type, with the corresponding full sentence. Here's a good example - when you press F3 and type "repfact", the message text will be replaced with "Repair the Weapons Factory!".

There are over 170 preset commands already in the program, and you are able to add/modify all of the commands available to you

There are also presets so you may close the program directly from Renegade (no Alt+Tabbing). Also another feature, "AutoEnter", which decides whether the message will automatically be sent after the preset text is replaced.

There are many benefits of this program beyond Renegade, as the program will also work with ANY program that reads text input. Such as Microsoft Word where you may modify the commands so when you type "myaddress", your address is entered into the document. Or maybe Internet Explorer where you could create your own list of quick URLs. You may type "paulweb" in the address bar and it would replace with "http://www.pauls-homepage.com". This would also work for cheats in games such as GTA3, so you would type "fly" and it would then type "chittychittybb".

You are also able to print out the entire list, or alternatively copy the whole list into into the clipboard so you can manipulate it as you wish.

Q: How do i put the application in the system tray?
A: Once you've started the program, click the "Options" menu followed by "Add To System Tray". If you closed the program whilst it was in the system tray, the program will remember and add it to the system tray at each startup. You can restore the application from the system tray at any time, either by double clicking its icon or typing "xshowapp" on your keyboard.

Q: How do i use the 'Cancel Trigger' feature?
A: Pretty simple, when a trigger is entered you'll be given a 1 second (set as default) interval before the text is replaced. If you press any other key between this time, the replace will be cancelled. You can modify the length of the delay by clicking the "Change Replace Delay" item in the options menu.

Q: Are There Side Effects To Using This?
A: Only a *very slight* slowdown of your computer, but it's really not noticeable.

Q: Will There Be Updates In The Future?
A: There's a good chance that i will continue to update this utility, so i have included a feature within the options menu - "Check For Updates". This will notify you when there is a newer version available.

Q: How Do I Uninstall/Remove This?
A: You'll need to delete the executable ("AutoComplete.exe"), the generated configuration file ("autocomplete.ini") and the two audio samples ("replacing.wav" and "cancelled.wav" found in the same directory with the executable. Also, this "readme.htm" when you are finished reading it.

I would like to pass this around to a few of the many dedicate Renegade sites so that everyone can have access to this... Let me know if you're interested in uploading this file to your server. Not for permission purposes, but just so that i know.

Thanks go to beanyhead for suggesting the extra presets :)
