get it from http://www.sourceforge.net/projets/rentools/
This is basically a roll-up release to push some bug fixes that we found and fixed whilst testing the new release of RA:APB. Some of the fixes should benefit renegade users too. If you are seeing any kind of decal flicker or z issues, those should finally be gone for good. Also, if you were one of the people who couldn't run a recent release because it was crashing all the time with an error 998 in dllload.txt, we added a fix that solved the problem for at least one person.
Changes:
1.Corrected an issue to do with alternate presets and the sidebar and PT change code
2.Fixed a bug that could cause problems if, for some reason, you change graphics cards and the new card has a lower value for max AA than the old one did.
3.Corrected a problem that could cause CreateImageSurface to fail (causing error 998 on startup)
4.Corrected a whole bunch of similar pieces of code that could crash if they were run on maps with ladders or certain other objects.
5.Corrected the code for handling D3DRS_ZBIAS once and for all.
I have no plans for a 3.4.4 unless a serious bug appears and I have no plans for a 3.5 at this point in time.

Also, who will take over the reigns when it comes to bhs.dll? It is still lacking some stuff; although it might be possible to scrap it and merge together a partial set of Renegade classes for scripting use.

If you have trouble running BIATCH on your FDS, have some questions about a BIATCH message or log entry, or think that BIATCH spit out a false positive, PLEASE contact the BlackIntel coding team and avoid wasting the time of others.

bhs.dll is part of the scripts.dll package...
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"

Yes yes Cat, but it's full of gory engine stuff  (basically, should we scrap the engine-call system that it uses in the near future in favor of direct usage of reneclasses, or should we keep bhs.dll as-is and allow people to mix-in reneclasses from other sources?)

Does this mean that the problem I was having is fixed now?
