Due to some issues with our infrastructure and an inability to get hold of the administrator of said infrastructure, no scripts development work can happen at this time. I have no idea when it will be fixed but when it is, I will post in here.

It looks like Saberhawk (who was hosting both our git server and our build server) has gone permanently and intentionally AWOL (attempts to contact him via any known method have failed and at least one other web forum indicates he has read my PM but he didn't respond) so at this point there will be no future releases of scripts for Renegade beyond the current 4.5 release. The loss of this infrastructure also means there is no way we can debug any crashdumps since we no longer have the debugging symbols required to debug such crashdumps.
We are looking into getting new infrastructure running, getting hosts for it is not the hard part, the hard part is figuring out all the right things we need to install onto our build server and the right configurations required for the Jenkins install (Jenkins is the program that was being used to build the scripts binaries for distribution). If we can get a build server going that can produce the right binaries for 4.x releases, then official dev work on 4.x/Renegade can resume, otherwise its as good as dead.

We are working on it and will do whatever we can.
However, figuring out the right options to get it to not just compile but compile properly and produce the desired output is not going to be easy.

This seems to be a theme these days: renegade related tutorials, downloads, and gamespy being dropped by people.
As Cronus said: just ask if you need hosting or something in the future. There's only two communities left, we both have a stake in Renegade.
On a different note: whatever you guys did differently between 4.3-4.5 scripts allowed me to finally get two out of four of the old EVOs maps into the resource manager(over the years they've always failed when converting).

I get along with people fine, so long as they aren't rejects who promised things that they couldn't
deliver on, or forum trolls who contribute nothing except to bloat the fragile egos of the same
rejects I despise.

We have a new git and build server running (thanks to Jerad for hosting the build server), figuring out the right bits needed to properly build 4.x will take time (its not like 5.0 where we can just update to the latest compiler and everything will keep working the way we need it to, 4.x needs certain special stuff installed and figuring out what that is will be annoying)

I have known Saberhawk long enough to know that this looks like he is gone for good.
We do have a build system though so its ultimately a matter of figuring it all out.
