Get it from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/rentools/

Complete changelog: (items marked with a * will require scripts.dll/bhs.dll 2.7 on the client to function)
Bug fixes to the nick exploit fixes, the ID console command and the PINFO console command so that it will correctly check the entire nickname list.
The WOLSEND console command is now gone.
New console command WOLNAME that is used by LFDS WOL to set the WOL server name (remember that even with LFDS XWIS, the server still thinks its a GameSpy server and behaves as such)
New console command DISARM to disarm all C4 of a player
New console command DISARMP to disarm all proximity C4 of a player
New console command DISARMB to disarm all beacons of a player
New code to send the special packet that WOLSEND used to send (but to send it properly so people on all NAT conections can join)
A new hook that will trigger anytime the "The version of player x is y" message is printed. Hook is passed the player ID and version.
*void DLLEXPORT Set_Wireframe_Mode(unsigned int mode); //Sets the wireframe mode. Will remain in effect untill changed by another call to Set_Wireframe_Mode
*Code to send Disable_All_Collisions, Disable_Physical_Collisions and Enable_Collisions over the network
*void DLLEXPORT Load_New_HUD_INI(GameObject *obj,const char *ini); //Loads a new hud ini at runtime (the only things that can be changed at runtime are texture filenames and most but not all color related tags). Note that once you load an ini file, things will stay the same until changed again.
*void DLLEXPORT Update_PT_Data(); //Indicates that PT data updating has been completed and triggers a send of the PT data over the network. The PT data will be restored to the default PT data when the next map starts
*A fix to the Remove_Weapon engine call such that it sends properly over the network now (and functions correctly)
*New code for custom HUD. The following parts exist in the new HUD code:
You can define colors which will then be used later on in the code.
You can customize the health and shield numbers
You can customize the bullet count and clip count numbers
You can customize the weapon name and image
You can hide the names of enemy soldiers, with an exceptions list (e.g. spy presets go there so that spies are not hidden)
You can define a texture entry which then has one or more rectangles taken from that texture. This is how the generic elements of the custom HUD are drawn.
You can change the health and shield bars.
You can hide the weaon box (the bakground behind the weapon numbers and image)
You can hide the info box (which covers everything thats not text on the other side to the weapon box except the radar including the health and shield bars)
You can customize the compass text (i.e. the text that says "N,S,E,W etc)
You can customize the radar. As of right now, objectives and "radar markers" wont be displayed. Only normal objects will be displayed. Also, functionality to allow for a scrolling map (like renalert showed off a while back) may or may not make it into 2.7.
You can customize the "time remaining" and "credits" text (hide it, draw new text elsewhere)
You can hide the player/team list
You can customize the health/shield icon (in normal renegadethis is the little cross next to the health number). Unlike normal renegade, you wont be able to make it flash back and forth (like when you have almost no health)
You will be able to hide the powerup icons (that is the icons and text that display when you get a powerup)
Several engine calls that disarm beacons now use the new Disarm_Beacon engine call to correctly disarm the beacon.
Bug fixes to a couple of classes (like cGameData) in light of some new discoveries.
Change to Console_Output so that it can be properly used like printf (so you can do Console_Output("abc is %d\n",abc) for example)

new script, JFW_Damage_Occupants_Death which damages all occupants when the vehicle this script is on dies.
*new script, JFW_HUD_INI which goes on a soldier and loads a new hud.ini (see above for details of that)
*new script, JFW_Wireframe_Mode which goes on a map and sets the wireframe mode for this map
*new script, JFW_PT_Disable which disables a given PT position at startup
*new script, JFW_PT_Disable_Death which disables a given PT position when the object it is on is killed
Versions of JFW_Character_Buy_Poke, JFW_Refill_Buy_Poke, JFW_Vehicle_Buy_Poke, JFW_Powerup_Buy_Poke, JFW_Preset_Buy_Poke, JFW_Group_Purchase_Poke, JFW_Powerup_Buy_Poke_Timer, JFW_Weapon_Buy_Poke, JFW_Preset_Buy_Poke_Timer & JFW_Preset_Buy_Poke_Custom that play a sound if the poker has not got enough cash for the purchase.
Versions of JFW_Switch_Door, JFW_Switch_Lock_Door, JFW_Toggle_Door, JFW_Toggle_Lock_Door, JFW_Switch_Door_Team & JFW_Toggle_Door_Team that use the object they are attached to as the object to act on (instead of needing to pass the object ID in)
new script, JFW_Lock_Sound which, when poked, plays one sound if the poker doesnt have <key> and a different sound if they do.
new script, JFW_Vehicle_Extra which creates an object and attaches it to a given bone of another object. When the object is destroyed, so is the attachment.
new script JFW_Vehicle_Extra_2 which is like JFW_Vehicle_Extra but also passes damage done to the host to the attachment. Also, it attaches JFW_Vehicle_Extra_Attach to the object.
new script JFW_Vehicle_Extra_Attach which is used to pass damage done to the attached object to the main object. In order for this to work, both the objects need to have identical settings for armour, skin, health, shield etc.
new script, JFW_Advanced_Guard_Tower_2. This does the same things as M00_Advanced_Guard_Tower but allows you to customize the locations of the missile and guns relative to the building controler. Unlike JFW_Advanced_Guard_Tower, this uses M00_Advanced_Guard_Tower_Missile and M00_Advanced_Guard_Tower_Gun which should prevent any bugs in JFW_Advanced_Guard_Tower_Missile and JFW_Advanced_Guard_Tower_Gun from being a problem.
New scripts from WD, MDB_Weapon_Scope_Global, MDB_Base_Defense_Popup_No_VTOL, MDB_Base_Defense_Popup_VTOL_Only, MDB_Base_Defense_Popup, MDB_Base_Defense, MDB_Base_Defense_No_VTOL, MDB_Base_Defense_VTOL_Only and MDB_Send_Custom_Enemy_Seen.
The defence scripts are going to be used for various defences in Reborn (MDB_Base_Defense_Popup_VTOL_Only would be perfect for a proper TD-style popup SAM site using the model that is in buildings.zip)
Some new #defines in scripts.h for the values you can pass to Set_Obj_Radar_Blip_Shape and Set_Obj_Radar_Blip_Color

Please let me know what you think (and let me know of any bugs).
There are no plans for a 2.8 right away but if bugs show up, I will release a 2.7.1

Using the ID command crashes my renegade... I switched back to 2.6 and had no problems, so it's definately 2.7. Sad
