Stop using Autogive

[FunkOff]

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: Select all

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.

I, too, use autogive and have had no issues.

Didnt know there was a problem with it until now, how can I remove it seeing as it is no longer needed??

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

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?

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.

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
