should CP2 ship with scripts 2.1.3 or scripts 2.2?[ 43 votes ]
1.	2.1.3	3 / 7%
2.	2.2	17 / 40%
3.	2.2 but only if it doesnt delay CP2 otherwise 2.1.3	23 / 53%

I am currently working on scripts.dll 2.2 which is planned to fix as many crashes and other critical bugs (e.g. memory leaks) in scripts.dll, bhs.dll and renegade as it is possible to diagnose.
Also, there are a few other things planned (most notably any fixes that are player visible and easy to add as well as a few things wanted for SSAOW) but the prime focus is to make 2.2 (and by extention the renegade game) the most stable it has ever been. It WILL be more stable than previous versions such as 2.1.3.

Basically, for Core Patch 2, we have 3 options:
1.Abandon plans to get 2.2 into CP2 and ship with 2.1.3 as-is (which means CP2 wont ship with all the great bug fixes I want for 2.2)
2.Put 2.2 into CP2 (which might mean releasing a while later than it would be if we just went with 2.1.3)
or 3.Put 2.2 in if its done otherwise go with 2.1.3

So, the real question I am asking is if you, the players who will be downloading and playing Core Patch 2 will be prepared to wait a little while longer to get it if it means that it will have all these great bug-fixes and a rock solid stable base.

well.. yeah i think we can wait a bit more!

or maybe would be better you end work on it and then release the CP2

important is that we have to wait no more than 2 months at least Blush

Well, if it ensures the overall value of the patch...I say go for it.

Also,could you give some examples of the bug fixes you plan on updating?

I say include scripts 2.2. If it includes bug fixes such as memory leaks, i think its worth the wait.

It would be nice if 2.2 was shipped with cp2, but if it would delay the project then stick with 2.1.3

A quick suggestion;
Why not update RG to download new versions of scripts on its own, whenever an updated version is released? I am sure it could be added on to the existing auto-patcher..

Oh, and slightly off topic but I was wondering if you could make a base defense script that has 2 different rates of fire.
Rate 1 would be the normal rof
Rate 2 would be a reduced rof that would be used after base power went offline.

since 2.2 has the weather, eject, kill, and drop console commands in it. it would be nice to wait. but not necessarily a request too... Personally I think 2.1.3 works fine, and has some interesting addition in and of itself... And ssaow already has weather effects build in... so I don't think its that big a deal. Other then it being nice to have the extras available for custom command coding. and I didn't think you were going to do that yet with brenbot. BR.net has that option already. and that is where 2.2 comes in handy... But for brenbot in CP2 if you are not going to add anything command wise to it. then no don't wait... its prob not worth it, just for those few extra console commands.
