Wow! Nice. Thanks JCL!

Wow, updatings are always so powerful. The ceiling of my office is once again fill stars.

Thanks a lot JCL!

I go away for a week and this happens

Really good features, Thanks again.
Btw http://www.conitec.net/beta/skill_x.htm -> Error 404 - Not found ?

I'll post here first in case its just me, but Im finding with this version that with a lot of lite-c compile fails
(that are due simple errors like syntax or un-defined variables), that Im just getting a useless message of
"Error with MAIN.C, Startup failure" in the compiler window I then need to manually open the Ackerr.txt file
to see what the failure was.
These messages used to appear in the compiler window before, is this just a setting somewhere or an intended change?

accprding to update page -eq commandline option does that, try removing this from sed->preferences.

Many thanks Quadraxas, that was it. My bad,
I didnt notice that change when I read the beta data...

Thanks for the new version.

The new panel features were just what I needed in my current projekt :-)

it d be even better if we could remove panel elements at runtime.

Indeed, a great job on the particle system and other new features! Thanks Jcl, and Conitec!

ah, the shadows stopped showing through walls, at least 99% of the time. thats all im asking for so far.
how bout the lightning engine next? my static lights with dynamic flag change the lightning of the surfaces when i change the camera angle and they also shine through blocks...

Hey Spike, this happens to me too... if I change the camera angle, the shadows changes..

Hello,

very nice a new update. Nice future, thanks jcl and conitec.

bye
