Title: Auto Equalize Shields?
Post by: Lepanto on September 07, 2015, 11:51:45 am

What's a simple way (or a complex way, if need be) to implement auto-equalizing shields in a mod? Constantly pressing Q mid-dogfight takes attention away from actually dogfighting, so it'd be good to just automate that particular annoyance.

Please tell me this already exists and I just didn't find it.

Thanks!

That'd be nice.  Like Auto-match Speed or Auto-Target. 

Press Shift-Q to toggle auto-equalize?

There's a script (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Script_-_Shield_Management) that'll do this. nuWoD also has a shield management script, I'm just not sure if it's this one or a different one. Lastly, there's a code change (PR) (https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com/pull/324) waiting to implement this as well.

Yeah I've been hoping that PR can get merged soon, now that it seems to be mod-controllable.
