How to update
Either quick:
1. From your old installation, delete these folders:
levels/network/2p/flopsy
levels/network/3p/flopsy
... and 4p, 5p, 6p, 7p, ...
levels/network/8p/flopsy
levels/network/races/flopsy

2. Then extract Lix 0.10.32 over your old installation.

Or clean: Extract to new directory, then copy these directories from old Lix into new Lix:
user/
replays/
...and any levels that you've built yourself or added manually.

  • Flopsy has overhauled his multiplayer level folders: 4 maps are new, 35 maps have been edited, 148 maps have been deleted. Now, Lix ships with a total of 990 multiplayer levels, 115 of which are by Flopsy.
  • Reorder the 3-player and 4-player directory listings: Flopsy's multiplayer directories appear at the top of these listings. These maps have solid quality and are suitable for beginners and experienced players alike.
  • Improve the balance in Rubix's asymmetric two-player map Constraint.
  • Warn about long level titles or long authors: In the editor, when you type a long title/author, a small warning will say that the level browser may abbreviate your text. You can still type as much as you like.

:thumbsup: Flopsy and I encourage you to remove Flopsy's old multiplayer level folders. From the Lix 0.10.32 download, you'll get better average level quality, and you don't need to weed through fluff or duplicates.

Manually delete Flopsy's old level folders in your old Lix installation:

levels/network/2p/flopsy
levels/network/3p/flopsy
... and 4p, 5p, 6p, 7p, ...
levels/network/8p/flopsy
levels/network/races/flopsy

... and then extract Lix 0.10.32.

Thanks!

Are you a historian? You can always re-download those removed levels from older Lix versions on Github.
