Looks indeed significantly better now...

First of all, upgrading your CPU normally does not give you faster graphics performance. ;-P Then, a lot of "modern" graphics cards have great 3D performance, but only poor 2D performance (enough to move Windows around on the desktop with their content, but not much more). Although there m...

> What about .mpx and .sp Supaplex levels [...] ? Any chance to get them working? Both file types are currently not supported, but ".sp" levels (single Supaplex levels) should be fairly easy to support; about ".mpx" levels, I don't know. (Any information available about this file...

Yoshi348: Thanks for reporting these two little, but nasty bugs. I've just fixed them. :-)

Richard: If you knew both bugs, why haven't you reported them?!

It is possible to add such a function. But I think it is very specific (although I'm sure that _you_ know exactly for what you'll need it ;-) ), so most users will be more confused by it than being able to make use of it, I'm afraid. Then, there are already a huge amount of other features that proba...

Yep, exactly right. :-)

Well, "everything" is possible. ;-)

That "screen rotation" is indeed a nice feature which could also be added to R'n'D, but don't expect it in the near future. :-)

Am I wrong or can the raw EM level files be loaded directly into RnD in 3.1.0? No, you're right! :-) To use this feature (which currently works for EM and SP levels), just create a new level directory (with an appropriate "levelinfo.conf") and throw your native EM levels into this directo...

Those things that are easy to fix (like the infotron sound) will be fixed soon, other (cosmetic)
changes will probably be fixed when the new SP engine will be added.

I will soon investigate this problem.

This is currently not possible, because there are not enough free bytes in the current level file structure, and I promised Zomis not to change the format in 3.1.0, so his RndTool won't break.

But this feature will be added in one of the next versions, when I extend the level file format.

Don't panic, I have not forgotten the contributed levels. They will be added as soon as I find
enough time to bundle them with the corresponding solution tapes.
