D Lix 0.6.19, the big picture

[RubiX]

So I've had a go at making a sound for killing too many Lix.    This isn't so easy to make, but it might work.     Thoughts?

This is haunting, like the Lix is saying "too many..!"

It fits well with the existing sound effects.

I think it's cute, will use!

• Fix #153: I have culled the no-effect decoration. The still decoration is now solid terrain. Animated decoration is gone, except for the beach bonfire, which became a fire trap. I have changed levels that I distribute with the game to use the new tiles. Backwards compatibility for levels that I don't maintain: The level loading function silently replaces decoration with the new tiles.
  
• I removed the auto-replacements for Matt's terrain that I made in 2010 and 2011. Almost no levels relied on them anymore, and I've changed the remaining two levels that did. These levels remain functionally identical.
  
• Fix #156: Switching to a parent directory in the singleplayer browser clears the preview again.
  
• Rubix has created a cute sound for (singleplayer, you have lost too many lix). It's included, and plays once when triggered, not five times like the old tick.
  
• The warning sound for empty skill doesn't play on mouse click, only on hotkey.
  
• lemforum pack: Downpour shorter in x-direction, jumpers inf->3, exploders inf->3, leftmost hatch's output 20->3. LionLix initial 24->30. RoadNotTaken exploders 10->5 because the level is lose-5.
  

@Rubix: Tips to finish your pack's migration to D Lix.

• Rubix's 158 singleplayer levels are included. They're all solvable in D Lix!
  
• Fix #159: Better encapsulation for physics caching. Don't switch timelines merely by framestepping back. Flopsy had this bug on video. Maybe this fixes Rubix's sporadic crashes, #154.
  
• Fix #24: GUI text vertically centered on buttons. I'd like to see this on Windows machines.
  
• Fixed in 0.6.18: When you picked a tile from the editor's tile browsers, the tile wouldn't appear in the level. Now it does again.
  
• More work on the networking lobby. You can chat, browse rooms, send and receive levels. But you can't start a game yet.
  

Please give feedback: This is my first release with a networking lobby. I've included enet.dll, but can't test the Windows release. Please give quick feedback:

• Start Lix, click "Networking mode". Then click the button to connect to the server.
  
• Does Lix crash here? If yes, when does it crash, and what error do you get?
  
• While you connect, the game shows "enet x.y.z. Connecting...". What enet version is it?

I get enet v1.3.12!

[Simon]

Thanks! Then Lix has all DLLs it needs, perfect.

I didn't build this DLL myself, I got it from a tutorial repository for the D enet bindings. enet 1.3.12 should be new enough -- enet 1.3.13 is the latest version, but 1.3.13 got only minor bugfixes over 1.3.12, nothing we'll run into.

Connects fine, lobby controls look good.
Keep it up
