After a lot of work, scripts.dll 3.0 is finally out.
Get it from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/rentools/

Final changelog for scripts.dll 3.0
Migrated everything up to Visual C++ .NET 2005
Fixed the messagebox displayed if scripts.dll cant find a function in bhs.dll to display the correct message.
Fixed the "bhs.dll didnt load" and "scripts2.dll didnt load" messageboxs to display the correct message.
Fixed the "bhs.dll version mismatch" messagebox to display the correct message.
Increased the version to 3.0
new hook to detect players leaving the game
new engine call to display the "you dont have the required security to access this terminal" dialog for a given player.

Changes to the way renegade detects video cards so that it will detect more video cards (especially newer ones that arent detected by the old code).
Also, it will correctly detect more video card driver versions. Plus, if you have a newer NVIDIA card, it will enable and use DXT1 (whereas the old renegade code would disable it).
There is a new feature, d3d9. This consists of a dll called d3d9.dll that changes renegade so it talks to Direct3D9 instead of Direct3D8.
This replaces scorpio9a's old RenD3D9 (without the fancy options rend3d9 has and without the bugs rend3d9 has). This is a required part of scripts.dll, not using d3d8.dll (or using any other d3d8.dll such as scorpio9a's dll) will probobly lead to crashes.
This includes a feature whereby the size of the shadow texture is increased which leads to shadows that look better in game.
new console command VIEW that displays a dialog box containing a w3d file with an animation (similar to what the encyclopedia displays in SP).
new console command HUD that disables or enables the HUD.
A change to the way the player list is iterated (should fix the issues with some players not being displayed by the ID and PINFO console commands)
Cleanups to the way I patch memory that make applying patches and such easier and cleaner
Cleanups to bhs.dll as a result of the new class clones
Changes to how VehicleOwnershipDisable works so that when its enabled, it sends a custom to the vehicle letting the vehicle know who its owner is
New hud.ini keywords MenuHiliteColor to change the color you see when you mouse over a menu control.
MerchandiseTextColor for the color on a purchase button
ListColumnColor for changing the color for list controls
Removal of the StealthRenderState hud.ini keywords (which were broken and are made obsolete by shaders.dll anyway)
New keywords to give the sidebar seperate purchase sounds for refill, infantry and vehicles
New hud.ini keyword to change what registry key the renegade update/patching code reads the version number from
New hud.ini keyword WeaponImageVisibleNonVehicle that disables the display of the weapon icon when you are not in a vehicle (i.e. you see the steering wheel, gun and seat icons but not the weapon icon)
New hud.ini keyword WeaponVisibleNonVehicle that disables the display of the weapon name when you are not in a vehicle (i.e. you see the vehicle name but not any weapon name)
New feature to make the radar map rotate when you have a texture as the background (i.e. an overhead view texture of the map you are on)
New feature so that the per-map settings that apply to the radar map can be specified through an ini file named <mapname.ini> (e.g. C&C_Islands.ini)
A fix from Black-Intel for the "vehicles getting stuck near ladders" problem
The Black-Intel wall lag fix
A change so that ::Created is called for C4 objects
A change so that the windows FDS doesnt try to write into the registry "RunOnce" key anymore.
A change so that the HUD is not affected by Set_Screen_Fade_Color or Set_Screen_Fade_Opacity anymore.
The black-intel turret lag fix.
A change to the edit box so that ctrl-x, ctrl-c and ctrl-v work for cut, copy and paste.
Cleanups/new info for the following classes:
DialogControlClass
Render2DClass
Render2DSentenceClass
ButtonCtrlClass
MerchandiseCtrlClass
ImageCtrlClass
ListIconMgrClas
ScrollBarCtrlClass
ListCtrlClass
DialogBaseClass
PopupDlgClass
Definitions of:
ListEntryClass
ListColumnClass
ListRowClass
AABoxClass
ViewerCtrlClass
InputCtrlClass
IMECandidateCtrlClass
EditCtrlClass
MenuEntryCtrlClass
CheckBoxCtrlClass
HealthBarCtrlClass
DropDownEntry
DropDownCtrlClass
ComboBoxCtrlClass
DialogTextClass
ChildDialogClass
A new dialog to configure bhs.dll features, it configures the following:
Client chat log enabled
Screenshot format
High quality shadows enabled
Shader rendering enabled
Also, it configures the extended keys.cfg keys in the way that keycfg.exe does.
However, you cant add keys to the list, only change the keys already in keys.cfg. If you wish to add
keys to the list, edit keys.cfg manually or use keycfg.exe
Hooks in bhs.dll to call shaders.dll
Changes to crashdump.txt to dump:
If appropriate, the current map, mod package, player count and time remaining
The CRC32 of all modules (not just a few)

With scripts.dll 3.0, you MUST put the d3d8.dll in your renegade folder along with bhs.dll, scripts.dll and shaders.dll.
Not doing so (either on the client or the FDS) WILL cause problems. Using any other d3d8.dll (such as rend3d9) other than the one in this zip file
WILL cause problems.

The reason 3.0 took a lot longer than I expected is because Saberhawk did not do what he was supposed to do fast enough. Had he not messed around so much, 3.0 could have been out by now and 3.1 could have been in mid stage development. Several deadlines for 3.0 came and went and he continued to mess about and not do what he was supposed to do.

renegade wont work with 3.0, says "bhs.dll not found or didn't load correctly"

in the readme, you said that if I got that error, I should look for dllload.txt, well I have it and this is what it says:

bhs.dll failed to load, error = 126
bhs.dll failed to load, error = 126
bhs.dll failed to load, error = 126
bhs.dll failed to load, error = 126
bhs.dll failed to load, error = 126
bhs.dll failed to load, error = 126
bhs.dll failed to load, error = 126


(I tried multiple times as you can see)

Yes, that's because you didn't read what jonwil wrote.
You have to copy all 4 dll files into your renegade folder !


When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life

Want the best answers? Ask the best questions!

Really top notch work Jonwil, just great. The menu option makes configuring the keys easier and more conveinent. The new scripts are useful, and the high quality shadows look wonderful.

Although, it is time for a more user-friendly scripts.dll installation. I don't like wading through the dozens of readmes to install some files, the readme is out of date and I didn't know to install all the .dll files first.

You really should make an installshield application to just install the scripts and other essential files, and have a seperate file that contains all the readmes and other info.

So AA/AF is not enabled in this?

Why wouldn't you just make it so your d3d9 system can't just be disabled?

I tend to put a .dll file only zip on lmsbc.com for client downloads, but the domain is offline at the moment so I won't be able to yet....


Good work jonwil, can't wait to try out some of the new features Smile

"With scripts.dll 3.0, you MUST put the d3d8.dll in your renegade folder along with bhs.dll, scripts.dll and shaders.dll." <-- did that

"bhs.dll failed to load, error = 126" <-- result Huh

That means bhs.dll is not in your renegade folder (don't put the files into your data folder).

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

For anyone who would prefer not to download all the source code I have uploaded a zip containing the .dll files only, which also includes scripts2.dll, so that you dont have to worry about renaming files if this is the first time you are installing a custom scripts.dll

All the people getting that error should install this:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9226A611-62FE-4F61-ABA1 -914185249413&displaylang=en
3.0 requires d3dx9_30.dll which is included in that redistributable. (or if you dont want to install that you can google for d3dx9_30.dll and find that somewhere instead). I forgot that 3.0 requires that d3dx dll, for the next release (e.g. 994, 3.1 or whatever, I will include the proper microsoft redistributable piece that installs d3dx9_30.dll)

Ahh I just realized.. recently I did a system restore, so I forgot to reinstall it Blush


Edit, ok I installed it now I am getting a different error:
"Scripts2.dll not found or did not load correctly"

scripts2.dll failed to load, error = 1001

Yes I took the old scripts and renamed it Scripts2.dll but I am still getting the error..

You took an old custom scripts.dll and renamed it to scripts2.dll?

You only rename scripts.dll to scripts2.dll the FIRST time you install a custom scripts.dll

Lol @ that, ok no problem

thanks

EDIT:

OMG WOW, everything looks so great!

Hey, to everyone who downloaded my map dust_storm_Redux_V2, play it with the new shaders.dll

WOW I don't like to brag.. but it looks amazing! (for those of you who don't have the missing stuff)

What the hell is this crap? This release brings a shitload of bugs and problems into the game. For example, decals have suddenly gotten violent and start z-fights for no reason, as shown by these screenshots:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v430/TheDan/zfight1.jpg
(I move the camera ever so slightly)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v430/TheDan/zfight2.jpg
No imagine that flickering for all decals (bullets, scorch marks etc...) hundreds of times as I move around. Annoying as fuck.

I did however notice the bloom:
(The bloom is roughly where I'm aiming)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v430/TheDan/bloomfight1.jpg
No... wait. I moved my camera and it's gone again.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v430/TheDan/bloomfight2.jpg
Again, popping in and out of existance.

So lets look at sdbedit.exe. I open it up, add a post processing shader with default settings, save and close. I open up Renegade and this happens:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v430/TheDan/wtfren.jpg
WOAH SUPER AWESOME GRAFICKS!!!!!!!

Okay.. So obviously the default settings must be screwed up so I open up the .sdb file but wait... where the hell have the shaders I made go? Great.. so now I can't delete them and revert back to working settings.

All this at the low-low cost of just a ~50% frame rate hit...

I'm not against the idea of having shader support in Renegade, it's just a tad annoying that someone would release something that works like shit and is very unstable. Couldn't you have worked these bugs out before you released it?

I like the ability to changed the key configuration in game.
But I did notice that the script Reborn_MMK2_Turret has been changed, I like it on the warthog. but I'm going to have to redo the bosses in Renhalo now, because some of the turrets need to be attach (and have the same facing) as the object that they are attached to, so I guess I will have to make a new script, unless the JFW_Turret script will do this?

And I thought you said we would be able to change the fog color?

OK, after playing around in renegade a bit, I noticed a few problems. Some textures are like.. gone and that WW logo texture is REALLY Bright and makes it look weird.

And another problem was that scorch marks and explosion marks have clipping errors with the terrain. They like flicker back and forth between the terrain's ground and the mark. Kind of annoying to look at, but other than that, everything works great.
