yeah its called lazyshare. its actually not autogive, but you hit ctrl and a number of 1-3 on num block to give all you have immediately to player 1, 2 or 3 (numbers are shown next to the name in score). Its by svartfar. its also awesome for sharing mass, energy and units fast without f4 and mouse movement, but works only in 4v4 max.

Lazyshare doesn't show up in error logs as much as autogive does... so I have a problem with autogive.

Irrelevant now with the giving features from FAF, but on GPGnet there wasn't anything like it.

So some people were using the autoget mod which would give the units of the player who dropped to one of his ally. Problem was each one had to have the mod, if one was missing it, didn't work.

You can also do that with autogive. Im just too lazy to to do it.

Autogive is cool, but what we should really be grateful for is the equivalent of autoget. Many games have been saved thanks to that.

On GPGnet it was an epic pain to get every players have autogive and autoget

Can I choose who will get my stuff after I got blown to pieces in the FAF autogive version?

No, it goes to the teammate with the highest score. Is there a version that let's you choose?

simply deactivating it would be enough probably, but you can remove mods by deleting the folders in your my games directory.

A your humble servant, I have ensured that every single good feature that has ever been made for FA have been put into the FAF patch. I put in Sorian AI, I put in the community bugfix patch, I put in shipwrecks and countless other improvements to the game, INCLUDING Autogive.

THEREFORE, Whenever I see somebody report a bug and in their log, and I see this, I DIE INSIDE:

Code:: info: name="AutoGive v1.4 (with Res/Unit Donation)",

THERE IS NO REASON TO EVER ENABLE AUTOGIVE IN A FORGED ALLIANCE FOREVER GAME.

Why not? Because, I have made certain that, in EVERY game played on FAF, if give is enabled, give WILL OCCUR upon player defeat, REGARDLESS OF ALL OTHER CIRCUMTANCES, AND because Autogive is known to cause game freezes. Therefore I shall expect to see NO FURTHER BUG REPORTS ON THIS ISSUE.

Tell your friends, tell you family, tell your dog, BUT STOP REPORTING THIS AS A BUG, BECAUSE THERE IS NO REASON TO USE AUTOGIVE.
