Alt.tf

This script provides

• quick, easy and safe alt switching
• a modified /world (stdlib.tf) which will not connect if tf has an active connection
• a modification to /world to set secho off during the /@connect, this prevends the password from being displayed if you have secho on.
• you can use /alt -x<command> <alt> to log in <alt> and have <command> executed when the alt logged in, so you could easily make a spellup macro that'd use 2 alts :)

You'll probably want to change the value of "main_alt" at the beginning of this script.

This version fixes a bug that creeped in when I changed the trigger to a disconnect hook. It didn't turn it off after an alt switch. If you'd use it to log in (create) a denied character, the script would loop trying to log in that character. I suspect it'd do the same if you'd have a wrong password in your config file. Big oops! If you're using this script, plz2update.
