Yep, that's exactly the reason why it behaves as you described.

Should be easy to fix, though...

That would be cool!

I'll provide an updated list soon!

Yep, exactly. Once somebody asked me about cheat modes in R'n'D, and was very disappointed to hear that there were no such cheat modes available at that time. So now you have at least this cheat mode (and maybe others)! :-) BTW: ":ist" is a shortcut for ":insert-solution-tape", w...

It *IS* perfectly possible, and it would be very nice to have! :-)

But -- due to lack of free time -- don't expect it already in this decade... ;-)

Yep, that's the way it should be done. Probably "player based gravity" is a better concept here anyway -- in Supaplex (with only one player), gravity seems to be used in a way that there are "rooms" with gravity and othere without (in the same level), controlled by the gravity tu...

Oh well... Yes, there are still quite some bugs left in teleporting the player...

Thanks for reporting these bugs -- it helps a lot fixing them!

Thanks for reporting this bug!

I'll have to fix this...

A little status update to problems I already commented: - EMC network games should be fixed now, including tapes - switching focus in network games is now also disabled (not needed there) - internal errors in network games now cause an error message, but not an immediate end of the program, which lo...

Which set was this exactly? I wasn't able to reproduce this so far... :-o

Sounds like it will be a great journey! (Never been to Egypt so far...)

Have a lot of fun, and enjoy your time! :-D

> I think there IS something wrong in the network code. Oh well... This is completely untested -- I will check this. Which kind of game engine did the levels use which you used with network mode? Only EM (those from the test sets), R'n'D, or both? (Hint: Open a level from a set in the editor and cho...
