As an absolute highlight of the upcoming "Contributions" level package, here comes "Snake Bite" as a separate release -- a double feature level set presented by Alan Bond ("BD2K3") and Jürgen Bonhagen ("The Bug Machine", "Game Inside"). "Snake B...

Well, this is by intention. Imagine you have a CE than can "dig" emeralds -- I think most people will expect to hear the "collect" sound then. The "can dig" is more something like "can remove", which can be "digging" or "collecting" (depend...

This version is mainly a bugfix release, although it already contains most of the features of the new Emerald Mine compatible game engine (but not yet fully accessible from the level editor). New level sets containing native Emerald Mine levels (which are not yet released, but may come soon) can alr...

For now I think that "use graphics of" should do the job -- it also displays that changed graphic in the editor, which should be the thing that is wanted in most cases. (For other cases, like hiding elements in the editor, the graphicsinfo.conf file seems to be the best solution...)

The classic R'n'D game play paradigm is that it should be playable using a two-button joystick, which means that there are only four directions and two "action keys". Having such "custom keys" would be nice indeed, but to the price that new people have to learn them to play the l...

> Whats the status? Although I better do not promise anything at the moment (far too much work at the moment, not even being at home most of the week), I think I will manage to get the intermediate R'n'D version 3.1.1 out within the next two weeks, quickly followed by the 2004 and 2005 contributions...

Well, as C is not C++, this may likely be the case. But if Visual C++ (which I do not know at all) contains a plain C compiler (which I a...
