Very cool level set -- well done! :-) BTW: I noticed that the tape for level 007 does not work (does not solve the level) neither with version 3.1.1 nor 3.2.0-6. Maybe you want to fix it before I put your set into the next contributions package. :-) Another little hint: Maybe it's better to not forc...

Yep, that's exactly what I meant...! :-)

Well, indeed... Not a bad idea, but also not planned for the next three major releases... ;-)

As mentioned, this is not a phpBB bug, but was caused by a full file-system on the artsoft.org server. phpBB probably saves some temporary data in /var/tmp, and as /var was 100% full, this failed. I also noticed that the thread Tomi mentioned had disappeared for some time... Even more surprising tha...

Of course we'll do -- but only some really clever CE levels that will surprise you!

Well... OK... Forget it. That's not possible. ;-)

I think I know what you mean.

Could you please describe how you would design the interface to specify this in the CE settings? That's where I still have some problems to imagine how this could be done in a generic and easily understandable way...

You're absolutely right, this should be the way to do it! :-) (The change in 3.2.0-6 was just to have a look at it... In the final version, this should indeed be configurable, else ...

Yep! :-)

But that's what the "Testing Area" is for -- now he knows that he better uses the small versions for posting big sketches in the "real" forums... :-)
