Misc

  • When the sim speed changes (+/- keys), or the debug auth changes (F4/F5 keys) are disabled and the player tries to press them, a helpful explanation message pops up as a chat message briefly.
  • Players are now allowed to use the sim speed changes (+/- keys) during brainteaser levels.
  • The sim speed changes (+/- keys) can now be used during network play (assuming that the other requirements: dev mode, level editor test mode, or brainteaser, are met).
  • A new "External Help" button has been added to the Tutorials section of the main menu.
    • This new sub-menu has an "Online Wiki" link that goes to the Tidalis wiki, as well as a "Game Manual (PDF)" button that opens the game manual (or reports that the manual cannot be found, if the manual is missing).
  • Spacing has been added to all of the "Freestanding button" menus to make sure they all line up.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug that had broken the adventure editor in the last prerelease.
  • Previously, the visual effect of the wind speed would change due to mouse movement. Fixed.
