Week #48 update 2016

Not a great deal is left to go on the project. This week I've been slowly going through my TODO list and also playing the game. This might come as a surprise to some but I don't actually play Lode Runner all that much.

The December build will be up for download tomorrow (Saturday 3rd, 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

removed unnecessary cast when drawing object values (ones you see with pliers tool)
tweaked UI (no visual changes)

Game

fixed bug that allowed monks to drop gold on other objects (gold or tools)
fixed monks not swinging when caught in rope traps
added "Trapdoor between ladders" to Quirks Mode
fixed bug that pushed a player out of a trapdoor/fall-through block incorrectly
tweaked the pixel shader used on most effects
fixed bug that allowed monks to merge when crossing off a ladder + climbing out of a hole

LAN

allow cheats now enabled by default in lobby

General

updated FNA engine to 16.12
migrated UI message boxes to one central dialog;
previously, if a dialog wanted a message box then it create one for itself

Bugs being worked on

some Windows machines not be able to detect LAN games (Steve)

What I'll probably do next week

lobby overhaul behind-the-scenes
monks merging when crossing ladders
