> You just extract it into 'levels' directory wherever your RnD dir is. An even better place is the directory "My Documents\Rocks'n'Diamonds\levels". This has the advantage that you always keep your additional levels after an update to a newer version of R'n'D. (In this case you would have...

Could this just be the well-known (less aggressive) snik-snak emulation of older levels? What do the editor settings say?

bojster, thanks for that list -- I will check and fix those levels. Here are a few older levels that I fixed (which stopped you from going on recording tapes in the corresponding level sets): - rnd_tobias_authmann 012 [no exit - fixed / not solved] - rnd_jerome_kunegis 031 - 100 [level 030 fixed &am...

The new "Contributions" level package with all new level sets from the years 2004 and 2005 is now available! Special thanks to bojster for providing solution tapes for quite a lot of the older level sets! The following players contributed new level sets in 2004: + Andrzej Grzesik (50 level...

It's not a joke, and has nothing to do with the planned Supaplex game engine -- it's just a level loader, to load native Supaplex levels to R'n'D. To use it, make a directory and put the original Supaplex 111 levels packa...
