Typical. I really do hate anything that gets in the way of the game
itself. And these Defense Turrets and Foxes due just that.
Honestly, I have never used any scripts other than a ski script in T1.
My brother, known as u238|Janxx at the time, was a script hound. He
had what seemed like an endless myriad of scripts.
On reflection, I take that back. I did use one other script beside the
ski script... I used the fast faves deal that allowed you to pick your
faves before going into a station, bought your junk, spun you 180° and
chucked out 3 repair packs on the floor in front of you. All in the
blink of an eye.
Other than that, I was plain jane vanilla. Which is how I am in T2.
Other than 2 of DeBig's scripts; Tapthrow and Localtaunt. Tapthrow is
awesome in classic. A necessity, really. And Localtaunt is just fun.
You're not cluttering things globally with audio spam, but the little
pose, jig, verbal smack is hilarious at times.
No whacky-colored mortar explosions; movie clip voice packs; crazy
reticles; enhanced FoF indicators and all that jazz. I like it clean
as possible.
And I don't like having to use someone's 3rd party check-bot to play.
