Afaik, you can make these changes to uninstall.
- Move files in <rendir>/backup/ to their original locations (may be <rendir>/data/, may be <rendir>/).
- Remove <userdir>/My Documents/Renegade (optional, save some space)
- Remove files that are new in TT (optional, the only big one is the directory <rendir>/ttfs/ and all of its contents, the other files are quite small and I don't have a complete list ready).
- Remove HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Westwood/Renegade and HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Wchat from the registry (not recommended, you gain no performance or anything by removing this, and if you do it wrong you may mess up other things.)
Some configuration changes you made in TT may be lost, your original Renegade configuration (before you installed TT) will mostly be restored.
As for why there is no uninstaller: Removing the renegade directory is all you really need to uninstall it. Eventually 4.0 is supposed to be a automatically distributed patch, so for the final version no uninstaller is necessary anyway, and no earlier version of scripts.dll ever had an uninstaller either. Sure it would be nice to have something like that, but I can see why it was never made. (Actually, many software patches cannot be uninstalled without uninstalling the software itself.)
