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

Definition of the base, controler and rendering classes for post process shaders
Classes and implementation for a post process shader that takes no parameters

Definition of engine calls required for the shader database editor.
Definition of EditorShaderClass, the base classe for the editor components of a shader
Definition of the shader factory system used to register custom shaders in the editor

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.

Why the fuck would you do that? Let's just be a Nazi!
Oh, and as for the saberhawk thing... if you think it could have been done faster, why didn't you do it? You obviously think you're capable by how much you build yourself up.

The reason you need the new d3d8.dll is because features in 3.0 (including shaders.dll) talk to it directly.

Whilst I have good knowledge of many areas of the renegade engine, my DirectX shader knowledge is pratctically non existant. I could never have pulled off all the great stuff in d3d9 and shaders.dll without Saberhawks help.
