I really love what you did to bspguy, it must have been a lot of work, and now merging works just fine again :)
I haven't found newbspguy crashing or anything so far, so I believe the bugs have been fixed.
Edited this text since it was too long.
Right now, if you use -noscript alone, the entities get replaced by others, breaking stuff, as bspguy merging assumes you want to have squadmakers instead of monster entities. And if you add -noripent to stop it from replacing the entities, it stops it from replacing the targetnames, targets and their multi_manager references too, creating problems across merged maps as you have entities with the same names in different maps.
I would like to suggest adding a semi-ripent/rename-only option that does exactly the same as using the -noripent and -noscript option but only renames the entities adding an incremental suffix across all merged maps. Example > map1: "targetname" "dude1", map2: "targetname" "dude1" , turns into map1: "targetname" "dude1_1", map2: "targetname" "dude1_2"
So far, there is no third party tool that I have found to do this, at least not free, so this has to be done manually which is a REAL pain in the ass or you merge maps without any parameter so it adds both the scripts and renames entities, and then ignore the scripts or delete them.
