That's indeed a good idea!

Wouldn't be too hard to add, in fact...

Only if told to do so in the level editor.

Yep, right -- that's the origin of this (IMHO strange) behaviour.

Exactly.

Finally had a look at rndTest-0-4 -- I'll try to add at least those changes to enable VisualC compilation. (A nice thing would be a patch file against 3.1.1 or 3.1.2 that only contains those changes needed to compile with VisualC, but without all other changes... But no big problem to find this out ...

Interesting idea -- but as most of these information is available from the game control panel or otherwise obvious, I don't think that it's really worth the effort...

Well, the solution with maximal flexibility would be to let this be configured for each CE change page, but that's probably a bit too much for most people and purposes. Besides if this would be done per level, per CE or per change page (and besides how the default behaviour would be), there are a fe...

Yep, Martijn is right -- it should not be too hard to add such a "delete" button to the CE configuration settings.

Yes, a good idea to complete the Dynablaster style elements! I would have to play it again to see which elements are also missing... The reason why I did not really try to add all elements is that some elements are not really compatible with the R'n'D engine. Especially those enemies come to my mind...

That's right.

It's just a static page showing that "famous" ProBoards error message... ;-)
