More internet troubles this week. I'm not sure if it is the solar charger failing or battery. When this happens, Gareth usually replies to your emails (most of the time under my name) and lets me know - his code is usually a build or two behind so he isn't able to send patches.

Internet aside, a lot of work still got done. Quite a lot actually which is very nice.

The July build will up for download sometime around Saturday the 30th Australian time.

A name in parenthesis and in bold is the finder of the bug/quirk. Thanks to all, I really do appreciate your time and support. Cheers!

Editor

extra runners will now change the puzzle version - any puzzles with extra content not in the Original Lode Runner Online: The Mad Monks' Revenge won't open in the Original game. Removing new content will allow the puzzles to be opened.
if you like to open them, you can use Jim Winkler's LodeEdit
UI sound effects fixed, removing duplicate and missing sounds
when using the mouse wheel to rapidly scroll puzzles;
removed sound effect (too annoying!)
increased speed
Save-As added - hold CTRL/Command when clicking the save button - suggested by Jared

Game

fixed introduced bug that allowed monks to fall into a blasted hole with a rope trap set above instead of being caught
tweaked runners landing on monks - complete overhaul coming soon
support added for timed games
continued work on 4P support;
altered pink in all colour palettes
fixed Jane/Digmo goo bucket (Rick)
fixed regen bombs showing incorrect tile (Rick)
fixed runners not using their exit door or using another runners door (Rick)
cheat shortcuts to grant extra lives;
added CTRL/COMMAND+3 to grant Digmo (green) an extra life
added CTRL/COMMAND+4 to grant Jane (pink) an extra life
added CTRL/COMMAND+1 to grant Jake an extra life - CTRL/COMMAND+] will still work
CTRL/COMMAND+R to restart will now work when paused - this matches the Original
fixed bug that crashed the game when going to a puzzle with no runners (Steve)
to access hidden puzzles, you cannot collect all the gold - this matches Original
altered the colours of the Skynet time vortexes to match each runner colour
added the Commodore 64 colour theme

The Resistance using the SkyNet time machine

Commodore 64 theme

I wonder what this does?

LAN

correct sound for monks eating runners fixed
fixed erratic movements after resuming a paused game
fixed tooltips in host/client disconnection message

General

worked on tool used to add/remove/create assets for the game - currently, tasks are divided up over three separate programmes
fixed caching issue with content manager
replaced the "okay" icon on all dialogs and prompts - in the shot below, the icons now make more sense and are more universal;
the arrow with a tail didn't really make sense visually
tick/check mark taken from the old options icon
thanks to Jared and Gareth for the idea

"New" tick icon
