A small client-side HUD and audio autoexec for Renegades-branded servers — and, notably, by Classic’s own z0dd.

   
Author ZOD (z0dd) [mod-script] — the same author as Classic itself (sections 37–40)
Site planetrenegades.com [mod-script]
Ships as renegadesclient4.vl2, 7 entries
Version 4.0 [mod-script]

The single script it carries, scripts/autoexec/RenegadesClient.cs, states its purpose in its own header [mod-script]:

“Misc functions for use on Renegades modded servers”

It customises $vehicleReticle and $ControlObjectReticle HUD reticles, and registers a client-side message callback that plays a bundled voice line (audio/voice/Announcer/renegades.wav) in response to server chat triggers.

Finding z0dd’s name here — outside Classic, outside Defend and Destroy, outside the physics work covered extensively in sections 37–40 — is one more data point for a pattern this handbook keeps confirming: the same small set of early-2000s Tribes 2 scripters turn up across an unexpectedly wide range of unrelated projects. See 34 · Triumph and 52 · botpilot & Werewolf for two more instances of exactly this.
