Changelog for scripts.dll 3.2:
Improvements to the glass shader and normal map shader (the normal map shader now actually WORKS)
Major improvements and cleanups to shaders.dll including better performance across the board.
Anything you have heard about scripts.dll 3.2 being slower is a lie. Scripts.dll 3.2 may actually
(on some graphics cards) be FASTER than stock renegade.
Complete rewrite of post process shader code (they are now called scene shaders)
Big changes to d3d8.dll and bhs.dll to go with the shaders.dll changes
Engine.cpp and shadereng.cpp are now split up into multiple files which means less code duplication and
easier to manage code.
Cleaned up the way initialization of engine stuff and detection of if we are FDS or client is handled
Fixed a bug in the code for calculating CRC32
Numerous bug fixes to the shader code
Numerous bug fixes to the shader related rendering code (which, for example, calculates Tangent and Binormal numbers)
Proper fix for all the zbuffer issues (esp on ATI cards)
Numerous bug fixes to engine calls (formerly in engine.cpp)
Numerous bug fixes to various scripts
Numerous other bug fixes
Cleanups to the definition of TextureMapperClass
Cleanups to the definition of the classes that handle vertex and index buffers
New class for cubemap textures
Several functions for shaders.dll to use including ways to get the current projection matrix and light vector
Definition of TextMessageEnum which will make it easier to see (when inside hooks like the chat hook) what sort of message it is
Code in shaders.dll to spit out appropriate D3DPERF calls for PIX to pick up
Code to spit out various debugging messages at various times
int Get_Harvester_Preset_ID(int Team); //Get the harvester preset ID for this team
bool Is_Harvester_Preset(GameObject *obj); //Checks if the object has the same preset used for the harvesters
Improvements to a whole bunch of math code (mainly used by shaders.dll) so that if your CPU has SSE, it will use
SSE instructions. This will make it faster.

Also, we are looking into a fix to make Reborn_IsDeployableMech work that may get in for 3.2

Other than that, its mainly the final pieces of work on sdbedit.exe for the scene shaders plus a new example shaders.sdb file that need to be done before we release 3.2
